Ikei and Hamahiga Island

Here are some pictures from a couple really small islands about 5 minutes away from White Beach (White Beach is where I work). They are some very cool islands with some unique photo opportunities. I had a lot of fun with my mom out there. The streets were so quiet that my footsteps seemed to be way too loud. I could hear conversations going on in the houses and smell the food that they were cooking. Enjoy....

Looking out to Miyagi Island



A very cool farmers hut. Notice the bamboo construction.



A look from Henza Island to Ikei Island


I love the old school hand painted Coca-Cola signs. They are everywhere on Okinawa. I love the look of the faded paint of both the sign and the building. They have both seen better days.




A quiet little road on Ikei island.




Very cool rooftops. These are one room houses that are still lived in.

This has to be some of the best graffiti I have seen. There is about 2 miles of seawall covered with it. This was at the very end. Its an HDR (High Dynamic Range) photo, a new technique im working on.
