Story Behind the Photo – An Unexpected Delight
On my maiden visit to Ishigaki Island, I had hoped for clear blue skies, but nature had other plans. Nevertheless, I managed to capture the mesmerizing blue hues of the bay. Embarking on the sightseeing boat, I was treated to views of fish swimming in the pristine waters and even had a fortunate encounter with a sea turtle. The weather might not have been ideal, but the experience was undeniably memorable.
