Out for exercise 09

 Walking south along the west end of the park, there is a beautiful view of the little lake.

 The bushes here trimmed so that they spell shogen koen, or Shogen Park, in hiragana. Actually this is not in the park but on the grounds of a high school. Their baseball field is behind it.

This is a public housing project. Scattered around the city there are many places like. The apartments are small but very inexpensive. The problem is that the conditions you have to meet put them out of reach of people like me.
