My journey of discovery of Japan's natural and spiritual treasures brings me in a place of great importance, both in the meaning and in the scenic way: Futami, Mie prefecture. This is a beloved place for Japanese people, because of the important significance: the two rocks symbolize the gods Izanagi and Izanami and the bond between them through the Shimenawa, the sacred rope. They are the creators of Japan and the father and mother of all divinities. From all over Japan, many couples come in this place to witness the enchanting beauty of sunrise between the Meoto-Iwa and to pray the gods to bless their marriage. I took this shot with my Pentax K-3, using the smc K 30mm F2.8, a rare vintage manual focus lens back from the 80's.
