Things around town

 In downtown Sendai the traffic lights have timers in the bottom section to show how long it will be before the pedestrians can cross.

 After my art class we often have lunch on the top floor of this building. The food is cheap and quite good. Notice that a young woman in a kimono is walking on the other side of the snow drift.

 This is the south side of Yaotome station. For some reason there are no taxis in the picture. The road just goes around in a circle so that the taxis can park until they pick up a customer.

 This is the shrine nearest my condo. You can not see it because of the glare but a number of people have entered to pray and it is only 8 a.m.

 This is the bus depot on the north side of Yaotome Station. The subway is actually an elevated here and arrives on the top floor on the left.
