The Island and the Sunset: Enoshima

Enoshima seemed to be close at first, but actually it tooks a longer walk to get over a long bridge until we did finally arrive. And because some of us had to take photos constantly, we needed even more time :D

Enoshima from the Bridge

At first, you might think that there is not much to see on a small island like Enoshima, but at second sight the island is full of different and beautiful places. Along the narrow ways, we went to a shrine at first. There, the visit transformed after a few steps into a little hiking trip :D Okay, no surprise. After all, Enoshima looks like one big hill from the distance ^^

Old Printing of Enoshima

After the shrine we tried to reach another part of the island. On our way we saw many different plants everywhere. So again, we needed longer than the usual visitor ^^ It was actually quite a challenge to change so fast between different light settings. It got more and more dark and finally we reached the other side of the island (I suppose) when dusk was near :)

Sunset at Enoshima

We enjoyed the scene, rested a bit and of course, captured those moments ^^
There is not much to say after this, I only remember a discussion with Nene-san, Niko and Tina-san about the consumption of meat :D

So I just leave you here with these photos and the sound of the sea :)

Port(?) of Kamakura

Statue on Our Way to the Bridge

Shrine of Enoshima

Later, I found out this place is called "Dragons Belly" or "The Lovers Hill" :)

I'm not sure about the meaning, but I like the setting ^^

Just so you can see how long the bridge actually is :D

Until today, I am not sure if natural or artifical ... oO

But this is clearly natural ;)

Eagles seem to live here. Saw them often in midair ^^

Japan, Country of Flowers ^^

That's a Place for Fishing! :)

Enoshima - Awesome Place for Enjoying the Sunset :)

I know this scene is repeating, but I couldn't keep my eyes of it ^^

Didn't think to see a flat place to live in Enoshima :D

Man, I really think about living here.
Well, on the other side, the more often you have something,
the more you get bored of it, they say ;)

Okay, someone really has to explain me why all statues in Japan needs clothes ^^
But don't get me wrong, I like this. It is certainly unique :)
