In the last picture yesterday, you could see a large statue presiding over rows of grave markers. Here is a closeup of some of them. Most of them are so old that the carving has worn off. The middle one, however, seems to be newer and the statue is still visible. I assume that it is a Buddha figure or a Bodhisattva.
Directly under the statue is a plaque dedicated to the "Three Worlds": past, present and future. Again someone has placed fresh flowers in the vases. I wonder it this was done by visitors or the resident priests. I really have no idea. Maybe both do it. Also, notice the nice little statue on the right.
This is a closeup of the flowers. There are some unusual blossoms mixed in with plants that seem to grow wild around here - maybe they escaped from gardens, but the grow along paths and riversides.
I have now arrived back at the entrance to the valley. The road to the left of the utility pole is the only exit.
