Wordless Wednesday: Lost Soul in Paradise

These Boots Ain't Made for Walking

Never a Dull Moment at a Festival

 

 

At the Kin Dam Matsuri yesterday it seemed like every band liked playing the same tune.

Or, it could be it's a requirement, to obtain a musicians license in Japan.  I don't know.

"Smoke on the Water"  is a catchy tune all right but, hearing it once is enough for me.

After the third time, hearing that tune, I decided to do something different with the camera.

The heck with shooting teeny-bopped bands, I went for boots instead.

It was raining and, everything outside (including me) was soaking wet.

The shot had to be made, when this singer, wasn't bouncing around, too much on the stage.

Camera:  Pentax K3

Lens:  Pentax 18-250 at 230MM

Exposure:  f/6.3   1/30   ISO 200

Location: Kin Town, Okinawa, Japan

Date and Time:  FEB 6  2016  6:03PM

Plenty more shots of the action were taken, 635 of them, to be exact.

Maybe, one of these days, I'll create some GIFs of the event, to post here.

Meanwhile, I'll be resting up and, listening to some other sort of music..

Now I'm wondering if several cold beers might get that  guitar twanging, out of my head.

If you aren't familiar, with that tune, click on the link above.

That way, you can add to over 6 million other people, who listened to the song !

Public Tours Are Now Available

 

If adventure and nature travel is your thing, this one's for you.

Probably, not many five star hotel types will visit these caves; their loss, I'd have to say.

The entrance way is real fancy and easy to navigate.

It may get you wondering why they gave you boots and a miner's helmet to wear.

Once you leave that boardwalk and, some natural light, you'll figure it out.

There are plenty of places, wading in water and banging your noggin, take place.

The staff members are helpful and concerned about everyone's safety.

But, they don't necessarily speak English. 

A few hundred meters inside the cave, the only lights come from the helmets.

If you enjoy getting off the beaten path, this might be the place for you.

But, if you require more than one airplane seat, go hangout with the five star hotel crowd !
