During May and June dragon boat races are held across Okinawa with fierce competition between local towns.
I would love to take photos from inside the boat during a race, but for now this shot is my favorite.

Great shot! Where does one need to be to get such a shot? I’m guessing there must be some kind of tall rocky outcropping, or something similar to stand on….
I really hope to get to be in Okinawa for the dragon boat races one day.
This shot was taken from a bridge. I was pleased as it is such an unusual angle.
Hope you manage to see them sometime soon.

Found your blog today. I live in Okinawa too. I am writing a piece for Okinawahai about Cotonoha Artspace and saw that you are featured in their gallery. Good for you. Hope to make it to your exhibition, but sold out, right?
Hi Mary,
Glad you found the blog!
I am taking down the photographs on Thursday night so you will still be able to check it out over the next couple of days. Next exhibition will be in Foster Library in October.
Hope you are having a fantastic time on Okinawa!
Chris
