I captured this image of Meoto-iwa, also known as the “Married couple rocks”, on my first visit to Mie prefecture. I was expecting a quiet location, but the whole shrine was flooded with tourists and worshipers, visiting for the New Year. I arrived on location in the afternoon and I ended up waiting all night and up to the next morning just to be able to have ten minutes alone with these rocks. The calm atmosphere of this image might be misleading, but even if I had to go through a lot to make it, looking at it now after some time has passed makes me feel in peace nonetheless.
