Out for exercise 05

 I left the shrine grounds on the west side, but to do it I had to go down a very steep road. I was slipping and sliding and almost landed on my head a few times, but in the end I got down without mishap. I then returned to the main road and continued walking to the west.

 This road looks very strange in the winter, or maybe I should say that the road is normal but the trees are weird looking. Almost all the branches are trimmed off in the fall, so they look like something dead that you might find in a swamp.

 Except for the trees, it is a normal housing area with small houses on even smaller lots.

Here is a final look at the trees that line the sidewalk.
