Kamakura Umbrella

This shot is obviously of a Japanese umbrella, taken at a rest stop at a hillside shrine in Kamakura, a resort town along coastal Japan. This also is one of Japan's most culturally significat cities.

I decided to shoot this shot because I saw someone else, who didn't speak English and I don't think spoke Japanese, was crouching down taking this picture. Because I'm a total hack and not below copying other people's work, I thought there must be some merit in snapping this...and I think there was.
