This week from The Bloom Forum we have 8 photographers taking part in our circle. This week's theme is Up High.
I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this week and luckily time cooperated with me. Here on Okinawa there are lots of rolling hills (not good for running!) and points that you can see over the buildings and out to the ocean from an easy vantage point. Just up from our house is a giant hill that leads to no where, but once you get to the top you can turn around and see this:
I love that you can see out over the small town and nearly to the ocean! Beautiful! Of course there are other more beautiful hilltop areas, but this is like our own little oasis behind our house.
Now head on over to Faye Kingston and see what she has captured for this week!
Such a beautiful photo and view, Christa!

So, it seems like you are making the transition to Japan pretty well. I love the photo and the point of view it captures!

They are actually doing really well and much better than expected! It helps to have tons of kids running around and the pool and beach within steps/minutes of us!

Amazing! Love this image, and love that you are exploring such a far off place. Hope you enjoy every minute!
