#FotoVorschlag - Kurioses Souvenir
Photo theme - curious souvenir
Spotted in Naha City, Okinawa, Japan many years ago, and we still regret not buying a frog purse even though they didn't look to be of a practical size.

โจ๐ Summer Nights in Okinawa ๐ฟ๐
Thereโs nothing quite like looking up at the Milky Way stretching across the sky on a warm summer night in Okinawa. Standing by the shore with the waves behind me and the stars above, it felt like the universe was both infinite and close enough to touch.
These are the moments that remind me to slow down and just be present.
