Morning Fog
Having
scrambled up a large rock, our hero takes one of the last photos before
being descended upon by a tribe of intelligent apes -- the product of a
secret research project gone bad. They should have heeded the warnings
of the locals and paid more attention to the writings under the skull
carvings.

 Ferry
Ride
As
you cross the Inland Sea a
little south of the port of
Hiroshima, the gate for
Itsukushima Shrine starts to come into view.
|
|
|
Island Deer
The
local deer population more than
doubles the number of permanent
residents on the island. |
|
|
Shrine Gate
The
gate to Itsukushima Shrine sits on the
edge of the low tide. If you get
there early enough, you can
almost walk right up to it. But
if you're too late, it's a cold
swim. |
|
From the Deck
A
long walk off a short pier is
only a problem after the tide
rolls in. |
|
|
Guardian Lions
Looking
out toward the sea stand two
guardian lions keeping vigil for
friends and enemies. |
|
|
Cool Tree
Part
of the climb up the mountain
revealed this view through the
tree. |
|
Top View
Five
images make up this panoramic
view (about 180 degrees) from the top of Miyajima
Island. The port of Hiroshima is
a little out of frame to the
right. |
