From Mt Banna recreational area looking out over Nagura. We had lunch here and some time for the students from Kauai to relax and play during which time I could set up and take this gigapan of Nagura. This is the central area of Ishigaki and the primary industry is sugar cane( satokibi). Rich agricultural land. |

I am trying to use the gigapan in many different ways. This is Kuura on the northern Hirakubo peninsula. This is the Pacific ocean view. Note the extensive reef system. This panorama is taken from the paraglider jump site. |

One of the most beautiful spots on Ishigaki Island. On the north western part of the island, green and blue waters and white sand beaches. No swimming but many glass bottom boats to see the coral reefs. site of black pearl cultivation. This beautiful example of nature is also a reflection of the wonderful hospitality of the people ofIshigaki. |

The Kozushima Island located in the 180km south of Tokyo, and it is a volcanic island of 18 square km. This island is covered to the thick rhyolite lava and pyroclastic flow deposits that a lot of small volcanoes erupted. A representative volcano of Kozushima Island is the Tenjyousan volcano, and it is about 570m above see level. The latest eruption of a Tenjyousan volcano is A.D.838. And a largescale landslide is occurring now. The photo shows a southeastern side of a mountain and collapses in to the Takouwan bay. 神津島は東京の南180kmにある、小さな火山島です。島は、流紋岩質溶岩と火砕流堆積物で覆われています。いちばん大きな火山は天上山ですが、この火山の最新の活動は西暦838年でした。現在の天上山は、いたるところで崩壊が進み、写真の南東斜面では、多幸湾に崩れ落ちています。 |
