Tsunami Relief for Japan

Uploaded: March 27, 2011

Description

A visit to the Capital City of Okinawa, Japan left me with the impression that no earthquake, typhoon or other disaster will overpower the spirits of the Japanese people.

This photo was taken at 1:25PM, under cloudy skies 27 MAR 2011. It had just stopped raining and a group of Eisa Dancers were anxiously waiting to perform in a square off Naha City's International Avenue (Kokusai-dori) for an FM Radio station raising funds as disaster relief in the Tsunami stricken areas of mainland Japan.

Pictured here is a young lady bowing at the end of her performance. Photo taken with a Pentax K10D f/11 1/160 ISO 200 using a Manfrotto 725B Tripod, Cable Release and a Pentax 18-250 at focal length of 85mm.
