We have two types of islands: mountainous islands and flat islands.

Lake Louise thawed incredibly early this year – over a week ago now. That is 16 days earlier than last year, and a month earlier than in 2014!
It’s been amazing to see the ice give way to the iconic blue, and to see Mount Victoria reflected in the lake again.

In a small secluded bay, on the outskirts of Dalian, there is a beautiful rock formation called “General Rocks”.
I have to thank my friend Shanyewuyu for leading me there, as otherwise without a local it would be almost impossible to find this place.

Torii V – Meoto Iwa | Ise, Mie Prefecture, Japan 2016

The most famous photo spot for photographers who are in long exposers is Meoto Iwa. These rocks, also called the Married Couple Rocks, are a couple of small rocky stacks in the sea off Futami, Mie, Japan. They are joined by a shimenawa (a heavy rope of rice straw) and are considered sacred by worshippers at the neighboring Futami Okitama Shrine. According to Shinto, the rocks represent the union of the creator of kami, Izanagi and Izanami. The rocks, therefore, celebrate the union in marriage of man and woman. The rope, which weighs over a ton, must be replaced several times a year in a special ceremony. The larger rock, said to be male, has a small torii at its peak.
The best time to see the rocks is at dawn during the summer, when the sun appears to rise between them. Mount Fuji is visible in the distance. At low tide, the rocks are not separated by water.

I hope you like what you see. Enjoy your evening!
