Amami Superman Photography

Kakeroma Island is the island just south of Amami Oshima. It's only a 10-15 minute boat ride from the town of Koniya. Earlier this month, work had my wife and me down in Kakeroma for a few hours. I wanted to spend more time there but it was a regular weekday and we needed to be back before our daughter, Jade, got home from school. So as we drove around Kakeroma trying to get our business done as fast as we could, I stopped here and there to take a few photos. I know there are plenty of places to take photos, but we just didn't have the time nor the opportunity to get to those places. Still, I was able to take a few shots so I thought I would share them with you.

On the ferry, they had a binocular type device that cost 100 yen to use. I took this photo because I thought it was cool that this device was made by Nikon.













I kind of laughed when I saw this swing. If you were right up next to this swing, you would see that it is right close to the edge. If you were swinging on this, you would be swinging out over the almost cliff like mountain side. Pretty scary. I couldn't imagine putting Jade on that and pushing her... scary.




Well, those were the few photos I was able to take while we spent out short time on Kakeroma this month. I'd like to go camping there and spend some time driving around to find better places to take photos.
