Aoba Shrine Construction


Aoba Shrine is undergoing some front step construction right now. It looks a lot different without the iconic torii.

This was at the entrance to Aoba Shrine. I am not sure why someone put this rock there.

The torii (gate) at Aoba Shrine fell over in one on the earthquakes. (Either 3.11 or 4.7)

Aoba Shrine's Walkway

stones

This is one of my favorite parts of Aoba Shrine - the stones that make the sidewalks. I should spend some time with this photo and increase the contrast.

Aoba Jinja

Aoba Shrine in Kita Sendai. The entrance was stunning, but inside the shrine was a little boring. There are too many trees already for sakura to grow.

Dragon Fountain

It's dark, so the detail doesn't show through, but I think the shape of the dragon is kind of cool.

Which Way?

At Aoba Shrine, there these stairs. I had thought that you go up the ones on the right but I guess I was wrong. Again.

The other day I was in the mood to try taking some black and white pictures and went up to Aoba Shrine where I found this guy. Happy 2009! いよいよお年を。
