Todoroki Waterfall (轟の滝) in the Rain (Images)

This waterfall, in Nago Okinawa looks plenty different during rainy season.

The roar, of the falls, can be heard from far away.

Ice cold water splashes over the rocks.

There's no sense trying to get close for photos. Your camera will get wet.

Moving around on the banks of the place was enough fun for me.

 Here's a shot showing where all that water goes.

 Plan a picnic and you could sit here to eat lunch, on a nice sunny day.

It's a good thing that bridge is there for crossing to the other side.

It doesn't look too deep but, I bet the raging river would knock a person down.

If you haven't seen Todoroki Waterfall in the rain, you have no idea what you're missing.

Recommendation: Bring an umbrella or, wear a wetsuit !

Todoroki Waterfall Okinawa in January (Photos)

Last Friday we made a trip back to visit Todoroki Waterfall.

When the Map It Okinawa dude mentioned going there, I cussed a little.

The last time I took a camera up there, I slipped and fell.  Hard.

So, I decided, this time to stay down near the bottom, while Map It climbed.

 These photos were taken using a Sigma 10-20mm lens on the Pentax K5.

Map It Okinawa was gone a few hours but, I kept myself entertained, no problems.

There was a crew with big TV cameras, filming gals doing yoga. Hah !

If you want to learn yoga visit Waka Yogi on YouTube

She's the expert, a Brand Ambassador for Reebok and was leading the other gals.

They joked and said I looked like some kind of guru.

So, I've been thinking of cancelling my annual beard-cutting, this year.

Maybe, I'll just turn into one of those Yoga-watching Gurus !

Then and Now (Photos) Todoroki Waterfall (轟の滝) Okinawa

This photo of Todoroki Waterfall (轟の滝) in Nago Okinawa, Japan was taken sometime around 1966 or 67 by a photographer I recently became acquainted with through the miracle we call the Worldwide Web.

If you like good old fashioned film photography, as much as I do, you'll be able to enjoy hours upon hours seeing what Okinawa looked like back in the years 1945 through 1972 on his website.

Donn, has given his consent to allow me the use of his photos for a project I've been wanting to do for a very long time.

It will be a series of Then and Now Photos  taken on the island of Okinawa, Japan.

Here is a an example of what I plan on doing.

My usual large horizontal photos are coming, soon.  Standby.....

This photo was taken October 23, 2011.

That would be some 45 years later.

Over the years, naturally, erosion has occurred.

The Kanji character ( 勇) for Brave or
Courageous has disappeared from the large boulder at the base of the falls.

Vegetation changes with the seasons and typhoons may move some trees around.

Moss grows on the boulders and stones.

But one thing never changes.

Todoroki (轟)means "roar".

Todoroki Waterfall (轟の滝) is still roaring, today.
