This is typical of what Sendai city does to the trees along the roads. In the fall they cut off most of the new branches so that the trees do not expand their root systems, ruining the roads and sidewalks. It also keeps the branches away from the power lines. I find the short knobby branches to be strange but artistically interesting. The road, by the way, is the main street near my apartment.
This time of year the air is quite clear and we can often see the mountains that remain hidden in the mist during the rest of the year. This picture was taken from the teacher's lounge at Miyagi Gakuen University.
This is typical of Japan. The river, its banks and the right side of this picture are in a natural state and quite pretty. The left side is an outdoor industrial storage area, very much resembling a dump. The contrast is striking.
This final picture was taken in the park, Shinrin Koen, where Ian and I, and now Jay, walk every Wednesday morning. It was a overcast with some light rain, making it dark enough that the park lighting stayed on even though it was light enough to see.
