Signs of Spring

Sendai is very brown right now, but when I was out at a park near Yaotome, I looked down to find these.

Over the Valley

On this evening, I went to a lookout point to see if I could get a good sunset shot, but the clouds were in the way.

Stairway to Heaven

This place looks cool. I wonder how good the bands are that play here.

Evening Alley

This is a personal favorite of mine.

Looking East From the West

This was taken on a pedestrianization bridge that crosses Hirose Dori. I wish I could have gotten a little more of the bottom in the shot.

Kokeshi Portrait

Nishi Park Kokeshi

This is a kokeshi doll statue in Nishi Park (the statues are much shorter). The kokeshi doll is one of the symbols of Miyagi and all around the are you can find towns with kokeshi doll statues, and a few of them claim to be where they originated.
