Description

Many of the places on the island of Okinawa, Japan contain small wooded areas where worship is conducted. This is one of them. Indications that someone has worshiped there recently may be small mounds of salt, burned incense, coins and sometimes, pieces of candy or freshly cut flowers. It is best to leave these sites undisturbed. Available light , tripod and shutter cable used for this composition. Pentax K5 with an 18-250 Pentax lens at 29mm. OCT 29, 2011 12:59PM in shaded forest f/16 1/8sec ISO 100 Category: Travel and Place.
