Japan – Miyajima
While we were in Hiroshima, we took a bit of a side trip to Miyajima island, famous for the Torii gate in the ocean and tame deer, among other things. This is a shot of the Torii gate from the ferry, taking full advantage of the 10x optical zoom on our camera 
From the ferry, you can also get some great shots of a stunning pagoda that is off behind some trees.
We happened to be lucky enough to bump into what seemed to be a traditional wedding that was wrapping up. A shot of the bride and groom in the cart. They had quite the entourage along with them as well.
And as you can see here, the deer do seem to cause a bit of distress for some of the local merchants at times, and maybe also for the tourists
There were lots of cake and ice cream shops, and some great walking paths on the island as well. All in all it proved to be a great little side-trip.
