View over the Setonaikai from Ushimado, Okayama 2

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 8 October 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

Ushimado is part of Setouchi city in Okayama prefecture, Japan. It's a peaceful town with beautiful countryside surrounding it, and beautiful views of the Setonaikai (Inland Sea).

Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.

I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

It has a strong Japanese feel to it. Ying and Yang. Strong but simple. Great shot.
