This Golden Ball is raised above the crowd participating in the Naha Tug-O-War. The event is held in the beginning of October every year in Okinawa, Japan and the 40 ton rope holds the Guinness World Record for the largest tug-o-war rope made from natural materials.
Hopefully, this year, on October 10th, I'll be able to get situated with my camera somewhere on a rooftop or balcony directly above the Golden Ball and snap some great photos of the crowds tugging at the monster below.
More photos of the event may be seen HERE
