Today, we're floating across the waves, following the ocean currents to Japan. Marine Day—海の日, Umi no Hi in Japanese—is celebrated on the third Monday in July. Japan has 14,125 islands and has over 18,400 miles of coastline, so it's no wonder the sea plays such a key role in its culture. It provides much of the country's food and is vital for trading and communicating with other nations.

One Marine Day tradition is to give thanks by throwing mud balls into the water; these balls are packed with microorganisms that help to purify the sea. Today's image takes us to Tateishi Park on Japan's largest island, Honshu. This scenic spot has stunning views of Sagami Bay and Mount Fuji, making it the perfect place to celebrate Japan's coastal waters.

It looks barren, but somehow I still think it is beautiful.
