Self-taught photographer Yu Yamauchi captured 600 sunrises from the top of Mount Fuji in 600 days between 2006 and 2010.
Every photograph looks different even though Yamauchi took the images at the same time each day for a duration of five months. He took the photos from the same spot, at an altitude of nearly 10,000 feet.
The resulting series, titled “DAWN,” is currently on display at Miyako Yoshinaga gallery in New York through November 21, 2012.
Yamauchi states on his website:
This space, “above-the-clouds,” exists far from the ground where we live our daily lives. It is also a space between the earth and the universe. Being there simply reminds me of the face that we live on the earth which is a planet within an infinite space of the universe.
For 500 days at a time, Yamauchi lived in a hut near the summit of Mount Fuji.

The cloud patterns would change so quickly, Yamauchi often captured blurry images, like this one.
