I like to post photos of Mt.Fuji because it
is really a special mountain for Japanese people and not only because it is the
highest mountain(12390 ft/ 2336m) in Japan.
The origin of the name "Mt. Fuji"
is said to be "There will never be another mountain like this.", and
since Japanese Shinto is based on nature worship, this beautiful mountain has
been a major spiritual spot for Japanese people from ancient times.
Whenever people can see Mt Fuji, most of them feel a bit happy like they somehow got lucky. Some people are even seriously researching about "How far Mt.Fuji can be seen from a distance in Japan" and according to one report the furthest place which is confirmed by a photo is 201miles (322km) away. Since Mt. Fuji is a completely isolate mountain, in fact it can be seen from so many places in Japan.

By the way, the word in the title
"daytime moon" is kind of a direct translation of the Japanese word
and I know it's not a common expression in English. That Japanese word actually
has another meaning (& not such a good one), "daytime moon" is
also a term used for a person who people never notice his/her presence, in
other words, it means a nonperson.
However,
with Mt. Fuji, I think the daytime moon looks very nice and noticeable.
