This photo was taken on December 23, 2012, in the hills above Hedo Village, Okinawa, Japan.
The crowd surrounding the Okinawan Priestesses watched offerings being made.
To take a photo like this without barging through the crowd and disrupting a ritual can be tricky.
What I did here, was stretch my tripod all the way out and fold the legs.
Then hoisted the camera about 12 feet in the air and shoot with a shutter cable release.
Almost anything beats carrying around a stepladder or, climbing trees!
More about this New Year Water Mixing event may be seen in the Ryukyu Shimpo.
