Shiraito Falls in Shizuoka, Japan is one of Japan's more well-known waterfalls. In fact, there are at least three waterfalls with the name Shiraito, which means White String, however this is the most often photographed of the three. On the day I made this image, the path behind me was chest-to-shoulderblade with people. Also, a TV crew was setting up by the main viewing area, making it really difficult to capture the image I had in mind. Instead I shot this zoomed up view and one other photo which I will post separately.
