Photo Day: Road Trippin | Okinawa, Japan
29 Nov
Today my sister Jenn who is stationed about five minutes down the road from me called and wanted to do some shopping. I wasn’t all that interested at first, but after the shopping my sister and a couple of friends she works with mentioned how they haven’t had the chance to see Okinawa at all.
I decided I would drive and show them a couple of nice spots close to the Kadena area. We went to Gate 2, Maeda Point, Cape Zanpa , and Zakimi Castle . It was refreshing to get out and show newcomers some nice areas to visit. I have lived here for nearly three years and I am glad to show other around when I get the opportunity.
Here are some of my favorite shots from the day.

that was a great day we should do it again..
I like the shot of the wall with the sun beams in the background. It almost looks like an HDR shot, is it?
It looks like Okinawa has way better ruins than anything I’ve seen on mainland Japan.
@Jason,
Thanks, I really like the look of those sun beams. I’ve been to those ruins so many times, but that day was just right for photography.
It is HDR….I dont like to over do it though with the HDR look.
Bad ass dood. This looks really cool, can’t wait to get back and explorer with you guys before you go to the UK.
great pics J…
The lighthouse shot is amazing! I great set of photos!
@freedomwv,
That shot is of Cape Zanpa here on Okinawa. Whenever I need some inspiration, I usually take a drive their to snap some photo’s!
