Today wasn't a boring day... in fact, quite the opposite. Despite that, I succeeded at stumbling across something online that's completely cool. Katsushika Hokusai's Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji (Japan) is a collection of woodblock prints done over 150 years ago.
This collection gave me a great idea! "Uh oh," I know... I am going to attempt to make a collection of views of Mount Diablo. I live at the base of the tallest mountain in the San Francisco Bay area, I like mountains, I need something to do with myself sometimes, so why not go for it?

My favorite three prints:
Lake Suwa in the Shinano Province
Umegawa in Sagami Province
Inume Pass in the Kai Province
