Cape Mihama, Built by the Currents of Suruga Bay — Along the Shores of Nishi-Izu
駿河湾の流れが築いた御浜崎 — 西伊豆の岸辺で
Heading back to the parking lot, I took a short detour and climbed down off the seawall to get closer to the waves crashing against the hazardous shoreline of boulders that have smoothed over time by the relentless weathering of waves rolling in from the deep, formidable waters of Suruga Bay, the deepest bay in Japan at 2,500 meters (8,202 ft).
I managed to capture three shots I liked, though none felt particularly extraordinary. I had fully expected to get drenched by ocean spray, which is exactly what happened. I was a bit worried about whether my trusty old DSLR could handle it, but after a thorough wipe down and some careful cleaning, it seems to have emerged unfazed.
While I’m in no position to fully understand the life of a fisherman, I can’t help but imagine the courage it must take to head out from nearby Heda Port into these rough, bountiful waters. Over the past 40 years of visiting various shores along Suruga Bay, I’ve yet to see a day when the sea has been calm and relaxing. It makes me think that this bay is always in motion, always challenging.
