Since I have set a new speed record for editing photos from a trip, it seems appropriate to start this week off with an image from my recent week in Okinawa. Naminoue-gu is quite literally the “Shrine Above the Waves” — perched on a cliff overlooking one of the beaches in Naha. As dramatic settings for a religious structure go, this may be the best one I’ve ever seen.
