タグ: Shrine

I started walking in this afternoon to the direction of downstream of the river and then I saw this tree standing on river bank.

Today, the sky was not so clear, I could not see the entire Iide Mountains. But as shown in the photo, I could see white snow on the top area of the mountains.

I looked back on the path on the river bank. This road is exclusively for pedestrians and bicycles.

A local train was crossing the river on the steel bridge.

In the day time, I don’t hear the sound of trains running on this steel bridge. But I can hear the sound well in early morning. I think it is the phenomena of diffraction of sound waves because speed of sound changes by the difference of temperature with altitude in early morning. Every time I hear the sound of train on steel bridge in the morning, I cannot help thinking that my dad had listened to the same sound for twenty years he had been living alone in this house.

Leaves of Ginkgo tree in the shrine have not become fully yellow yet. The tree is the symbol of the shrine. Soon they will become yellow and fall onto the ground. It will look like a yellow carpet.
