THE RED GLOW OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR SAYS GOODBYE BEFORE DISAPPEARING BEHIND AN OFF-SHORE OIL PUMPING PLATFORM

That low blob of crimson red sitting on the piling bridge is the top of the Sun about to drop out of sight.

This OIL PIER is one of two that are parked off the west coast of MIYAGI ISLAND, and used for the off-loading and on-loading of crude oil from one of Japan's larger NATIONAL PETROLEUM RESERVE Tank Farms.

In my 42 years since first coming to Okinawa, I have never heard of them having an oil spill, and all of the beaches and waters surrounding this area remain as pristine as ever.

I'm standing on a personal favorite beach, just about HERE :
