Walking home from Hachisaka Jinja

 My last view of the hill with the jinji as I went south toward home.

 When the expressway was first built, this was one of the few bridges to allow traffic to cross without a long detour. The bridge is narrow, with space for only one car at a time. It is getting old and now is used only for pedestrian traffic of which there is not much.

 Earlier I had stopped at Green Mart and bought some bread and a drink for lunch. I sat on the far bench and ate my lunch.

 After lunch are started walking again and passed through a shopping center. One of the office spaces was used by a doctor with an interesting slogan on his or her sign "Orange Bonesetting".

 The Sendai ByPass, Route 4, follows the valley and on the hills on the far side there are a number of towers with water tanks to supply water pressure for the homes in the hills.

This is a housing development on the hill top. The colors washed out in the photo but each of the houses is a different color.
