At the end of Jougashima Island, you can climb down to waterline, where if the tide is low, you can actually walk out to the lighthouse.
There are a lot of cement structures poking up here and there. Wonder what used to be there...
The geological forces that pushed these rocks up and flipped them on their side is truly amazing.
Am big fan of the green plant life that survives under the salty ocean water at high tide, and manages to survive in the open air at low tide.
The carcass of this fish was in perfect condition -- minus its innards.
Had to get down on my stomach to crawl under some rocks to catch the shot above and the shot below. I would love to have this kind of scenery in my backyard.
I have never seen such a secured door besides on ships. My guess is that it has to be kept air tight to prevent water from getting inside during high tide or rough sees. If that is true, the vents on the door don't make any sense.
The whole structure is covered with quarter-sized tiling.
A totally unplanned shot. The sun was positioned just right! :-)
Even at low tide, the waves hitting the shore line make impressive splashes that I had a hard time catching at just the right time.
