Near Perfect Alignment
(Yumigahama Cove, Izu Peninsula, Japan)
This was one of my final shots taken at Yumigahama Cove on the eastern coast of the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture.
My intention was to catch the surfer riding a wave, but after waiting for sooo long I almost gave up until I noticed that the fishing boat might line up perfectly with the surfer and the small break between the two cliffs!
Despite the fishing industry working offshore of this beach, the beach itself and the waters are quite clean and free of any debris from the fishermen (or most any non-organic debris).
Not all Japanese beaches are as nice, but I was impressed with how this particular community seems to have been able to strike a balance with the needs of industry, recreation, and tourism.
