Sky Over Kin Town the Day After Christmas 2016

Looking east in Kin Town at buildings and sky

There's a Chance of Rain


The weather gurus tricked me, again. I decided not, to take a long camera excursion.

They claimed, we'd have scattered showers. Maybe, it'll happen after dark.

That's alright though, I climbed up onto the roof and, took two quick photos.

Looking east, ocean is barely visible, at the horizon.

This position is where I shoot the moon from, when I don't feel like going on a long hike.

The wife and I, went on sort of a Christmas date last evening and, partied hard.

By 3 AM, we figured there was enough cold preventative medicine in us to last all winter.

We took a taxi, to get home and, I believe, she's probably, still sleeping.

It was 3 PM, when I climbed the stairs to the roof of my office and, shot this photo.

There's not enough daylight hours left, for me to get a few hours of walking done.

So, I think, I'll listen to my body, go home and get some rest.

Then, grab a raincoat, go see what's going on downtown and, do some conditioning.

There's another holiday weekend, coming soon and, I want to stay in shape !

5 Photos of Blue Skies and Dragonboats in Okinawa

2013 Kin Town Dragonboat Races

 

The fair weather spirits smiled on my hometown, Kin Village in Okinawa, today.

A cameraman could get burned-out shooting  a few thousand photos of these boats in a week.


 So, I play with the camera lens to squeeze some scenery into the frame.


The blue sky with white clouds was a relief, to see, after months of rainy season.


Once in awhile a cloud carrying some moisture blew over.  But, it never rained.


The team members, wearing orange life vests gave some terrific color contrast to these images.


There will be hundreds of close-up dragonboat photos processed next week.

For now, just kick back and enjoy the scenery I saw over Kin Town today.

Life's a beach !
