Off the coast of Naha, Okinawa, a sudden squall nearly ended the shoot. But as the rain ceased just before sunset, a perfect rainbow arched across the burning sky. This split-shot captures that fleeting miracle—the ethereal boundary where the storm’s blessing meets the silent deep, graced by a drifting mermaid.
