in Kushimoto, you can find on the seashore, over 40 rocks rising up in a row of a height of about 850m. I took a ton of pictures of the place, but it's really difficult to understand how large these rocks truly are without actually being there. I'm only showing a close-up of a section.

lovely light - though it's an action shot it feels peaceful, perhaps because the colours work together so well.
