Picture Time!

Okay, so I figured out how to add some of the pictures I've been taking to this blog, but so far they're showing up in reverse order, so I'll have to break up this post until I figure out a better way to do this.

These first six pictures are from a Shinto shrine we visited in Tokyo before coming to Sendai.

First is a picture of a lovely bonzai tree that I think was in a competition at the shrine, then a picture of the entrance to the main part of the shrine, and then a closeup and a wide shot of some casks of sake given as offerings at the shrine. I liked the designs on the casks; they made a very artistic addition to the grounds and the architecture.

These two are shots of the grounds and a sign by the entrance of the shrine.
