The sharks are out. Our neighbour says that in 60 years, he can't recall there ever being a shark-related swimming prohibition, but there is a first time for everything, of course. So, until tomorrow, the beach is closed to swimmers. Too bad for all those who came down for a dip!
Photo of the Day: Colliding Waves
Things have been so busy at the inn lately that my aim to post one photo a day for a year has taken a bit of a hit. I've missed a few days the past few weeks, but I'll keep trying.

This symbol pops up all over Kamakura, from flags to manhole covers, which isn't terribly surprising since it's the city's seal. I caught a whole fluttering flurry of them at a festival at Kamakura Seaside Park in the spring.
Photo of the Day: Return of Whimsy
And another interesting creation from the fishing house of whimsy.
