Ruins of Zakimi castle. The outer walls and gates, still standing from the 15th century when this thing was built. Amazingly survived WWII along with many other Gusuku ruins.
This is one of my favorites taken at Okinawa. This girl was actually trying to get us to take our portrait. But instead became my subject....and she didn't even hesitate to pose and smile. The Okinawa kimono (I'm sure there's a proper name for it that I just don't know) is much different from mainland. Much more of the Chinese feel and look.
