Sunset Sunday – A View of Sakurajima Volcano in Kagoshima, Japan

This week we head to Japan to view a sunset from the land of the rising sun thanks to Halit. Let’s take a look at the sunset he watched when living in Kagoshima Japan.

As a teacher in Kagoshima, Japan a few years ago, I lived next to the bay area. Opposite to where my apartment stood the mighty Sakurajima; an active volcano. Every day when I cycled to my school, I was just in awe of this beautiful force of nature. I would often stop by the bay on the way home and I caught this picture just as the sun was setting behind Sakurajima.

It blew me away. The quiet, serene location. The way the sun hit the water on one side in a column of gold. I’m from England, so it’s rare to see something so amazing. I just sat there alone, thinking there are things in this world you just have to stop for. This was one of them.
