Staris and a garden

 This hill is in the corner of the largest park in the area, the one where the kids were playing soccer yesterday. These stairs are typical of those placed on trails. A length of wood is place horizontally on the ground and is held in place by two post driven into the ground. The space behind the wood is then filled with dirt.

This garden and the rice paddy immediately behind it (hard to see but there) are now in the middle of a housing area. I would expect that when the current farmer dies or retires the land will be sold and someone will put a building there.
