Sacred place, Saiba Ontake This sacred site, which is registered as a World Heritage Site, is located in a natural environment full of lush trees, and is said to be the place where the highest ranking priestess of the Ryukyu Kingdom prayed for the nation. Originally, it was a sanctuary where men were forbidden, and it is said that some places of worship in Saiba Ontake were given the same names as the rooms in Shuri Castle, which shows the roles of male and female societies that form the two sides of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the strength of their ties. The location of this photo is the innermost place of worship "Sangui", which exists further back in the triangular space created by two huge boulders. On this day, it was a strong rain and wind, but the weather suddenly improved on the way there, and when we arrived at Sankori, the dazzling sunlight came in. The light is so strong that the sunlight filtering through the trees creates a clear contrast pattern on the ground. As the sea breeze shook the trees, a strong light flew into the viewfinder, but I didn't care. Flares, ghosts, and large glows, usually NG as photos. But this is a sanctuary. I felt that my heart was shaken by the overflow of light. The photographs, which should have been unusual, were engraved as vivid memories.

I went to photograph the waterfall, but I couldn't help but be fascinated. The moss and greenery that are densely attached to the entire tree are easy on the eyes and soothing.

Misaki Town, Miura City, Kanagawa "Araihama Coast" I stopped by when I went to Yokosuka. Coast carved by wave erosion It was like a demon's washboard. The sunset was just falling, and the scenery was very fantastic. I was very impressed.
