on a walk

Friday, I took a walk...it was a route I hadn't been on before.

Part of it went up a steep stairway....when you get to the top, you see the huge freeway hovering over you.

Then you need to walk under the freeway...it seemed even bigger.

Somehow, I think the McDonald's in Japan are really stylish, here's one with a drive-thru.

And this supermarket..."now fresh" kinda scary, what kind of foods were they selling before?!

"no pee-ing"...recently a lot of places use the symbol for a temple (the red torii (gate)), they figure if people see it, they won't pee there, or dump rubbish...hopefully it works.

Near the end of my walk, there was an underpass, the walls were covered with all sorts of mosaic pictures.

Like this one, of kasanemochi, a symbol for the New Year.

tako (which means kite) another symbol for the New Year.

And an oni (devil), a symbol for Setsubun (First day of Spring).

What have you been seeing on your walks?
