Description provided by photographer Roy Simonson reads: "Part of the south coast of Okinawa, with the village of Toyama and some of its rice paddies in the lower left, looking southwest instead of southeast from the point where Gl22 was made. The near plateau edge, the headland in the distance, and the mesas between are all capped by limestone. Upland slopes, largely in grass and brush but with some cultivated patches, are largely Regosols from calcareous clays."
