Yotei san 羊蹄山 (1,898 m) is an active strato volcano in Hokkaido. It is also called Makkari Nupuri マツカリヌプリwhich I guess is in Ainu language. Due to is resemblance with Mount Fuji it is also referred to as Ezo Fuji 蝦夷富士. I took this photo at 9:30 PM on a beautiful morning from Soriozan 橇負山 which is a smaller mountain nearby. I combined three handheld exposures into an HDR photo. Canon 6D, EF 24-105L at 24mm.g
