The southern continuation of our road

 At the intersection I turned right and looked down the southern continuation of our road. There was nothing special about it at all, nothing particularly interesting. However, at the end I could see some trees and they are usually an indication of something to see, a well landscaped home, a temple or shrine, or maybe a park. So, I started walking.

When I reached the trees, I discovered that it was the back of the neighborhood shrine. I decided that, after my afternoon of playing Go, I would stop at the shrine on my way home. One interesting thing was that there was a fence all the way around the shrine property so there was no way to enter from the back. If a person wanted to visit the shrine, they would have to walk all the way around the block and enter from the other side, through the torii at the front.
