Miyajima

Our first full morning in Japan was spent at Miyajima, or Shrine Island, near Hiroshima. Here's a view from the ferry as we approached.
It wasn't great weather but we didn't let that stop us from exploring.
It was truly beautiful, and if you look carefully in the above photo you can see one of Japan's most famous sights (there are more photos to come). Next week we'll see more photos of the shrine and a pagoda.

    Wow! Stunning . . Magnificent . . and very different from Missouri. I think I'd stand there with my mouth open in amazement for a looong time. Thank you very much for posting.

    Nice pics Al. I haven't been to that area yet. Maybe next trip.
    I hear that there is some major flooding and mud slides in the Hiroshima area right now.
