Shinto rope over Nachi Waterfall

SHINGU, Japan - Shinto priests set up a ''shimenawa'' sacred rope at the top of the Nachi Waterfall in the town of Nachikatsuura, Wakayama Prefecture, on Oct. 19, 2011. The 133-meter-tall fall is maintained as a sacred site by the Kumano Nachi Taisha shrine and its rope is usually renewed twice a year in July and December, but the previous rope was swept away in early September when the area was hit by flooding triggered by Typhoon Talas, leading to the day's operation.
