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!

I purchased a new camera a little while ago and hadn’t actually used it, so on a whim went to Lamington National Park, and traced the Toolona Creek Circuit for a few hours with it. This waterfall didn’t seem to have a name, but still composes well…
