I captured this image during my journey through Japan, starting in Hiroshima. We are currently on the second day of our trip, on the island of Miyajima, in the early afternoon. I am in front of the Itsukushima torii. As the tide rose and the schoolchildren receded at the same speed as the water, I first saw these two students immobilized by the waves, then later plucked up their courage and walked on the water of the Inland Sea of ​​Japan. With this beautiful torii as a backdrop, in a misty and enigmatic setting, as this island knows how to offer us.
