This photo is from a rare occasion in my travels.
Before entering this sacred site, I asked if it was alright to take pictures.
The 95 year, young woman smiled and gave me permission.
Ancestor worship is practiced in Okinawa, Japan.
The woman prayed and made offerings.
She even told the ancestors that I was invited to come along and take photos.
The structure we were in was dimly lit with bright sun shining through the door and windows.
The high contrast scene just didn't suit me for color photography.
So, I converted it to black and white.
