Standing on the beach at Taketomi-jima

I am standing on the Hoshisuna Beach on the tiny island of Taketomi at almost the most southernmost part of Japan on my birthday last week. The ocean was crystal clear but quite cold. Warm weather under cloudy skies. This beach is called "Hoshisuna" or star sand since the sand is very fine and appears star-like under magnification. A world away from Tokyo, in more ways than one.
