Omaezaki is located about 250km north-west from Tokyo and about 30km from my home in Shizuoka. The route from my house to Omaezaki has been one of my favorite riding routes, and if I am lucky, I can see the beautiful sunset like this.

Besides the wind-generated power plant, there are large nuclear power plant in Omaezaki which has been very controvertial as to whether we need it or not, especially after the earth quake 3 years ago and subsequent disasters involving the nuclear power plants. Maybe, it is the time to reconsider for us about what we need to do for the future and to preserve such scenery.

Another stunning, gorgeous photo... postcard or poster... can
hear the ocean and the wind in that image... outstanding.
Roadmanbo, can I ask what camera you are using?

Dear D9-san,
THank you. Yes, indeed, it was a very windy day.
The picture was taken by the compact camera, RICHO GR Digital III, using tripod.

Thanks, good to know, looks like a capable camera.
I recently purchased a Canon SL1 - similar in features
to a Pentax K-5, but have had
problems since the beginning with battery issues... no
pictures as good as yours as of yet :D

Dear D9-san,
When it comes to motorcycle touring, sometimes it is easier to bring the compact camera, and I think that RICOH camera can make pictures as good as a SLR camera. Of course, your camera, Canon SL1, is very capable as well.

Dear Texas94fs-san,
Thank you! The only problem is that, whenever I come this place, I need to wash my Bonneville to get rid of seawater.

Dear strokerlmt-san,
It is very nice of you to leave such a complimentary comment. I do have many PICS of my Bonneville in Japanese sceneries, and I am happy to share them in NBR family.
