Starting a new long walk

 I decided to walking into a valley that is to the south of my apartment. I have never walked in that area so it should be interesting. The map shows some shrines and a temple. This large flower pot is sitting in the middle of a canal that supplies water for the rice paddies. The canal is about a meter and a half wide.

 This narrow lane leads in to a shrine, but I have been there before so I decided not to stop. You can see part of the torii at the end or the road.

I posted this stele a couple of times in the past. It is near the civic center where the Senior Club meets.
