Nanakita Park and then toward home

 This is a piece of sculpture that moves in the wind and glistens in the sunlight. It is always a pleasure to see it.

 There are flower beds like this scattered throughout the park.

 There are also quite a few sculptures.

 On my way home I found a paper hemisphere that had held some of the fireworks from the previous night.

 As I came up the hill to the levee top walkway, I could see the smoke from a fire in which the clean up crew was burning the trash left over from the festival.

The writing on the roofs of these two tents, the upright poles have already been removed, show that they belong to two different organizations. The nearest belongs to the local neighborhood committee and the other belongs to a nearby Shinto shrine, of a completely different sect.
