A unique view from 1971, wherein Mary's husband took this photograph while on a plane near Mt. Fuji, with the mountain showing itself above a layer of stratocumulus clouds, along with cirrus clouds further above in the troposphere. Mary took a picture of the slide through the lens of an old projector, in order to preserve this view of Mt. Fuji (Fujisan), Honshu, Japan.
