On average I see one every other day now. I have seen two that were painted instead of au naturel.

Driving and walking around town.
Police station. It's a small town with many narrow streets. Emergency vehicles are appropriately sized.
Tanuki sighting - it's a benevolent yokai or spirit animal based on an actual animal, the raccoon dog.
Fishing boats
Lake Hamana which is actually a lagoon.

Crazy building in Calgary.
Driving to a place that is run by a design and construction company that turns cargo containers into homes and shops.

Arai Seikisho is the only surviving checkpoint structure from the Edo period (1603-1668) in all of Japan.

By the way, the cute little car in one of the pictures a few posts up is a Subaru 360 (1958-1971).
Can anyone tell in what car I was being carted around?

Dad and I opened the cottage today. Lake was beautiful, nobody on it, we were the first ones up in our bay.
My 1st cousin once removed just built a new cottage on Balsam Lake about half a mile north of the big island.
The property taxes are getting out of hand he complains.
"If the kids want to keep the place, they can pay the taxes."

Yeah, they can be nutty. We are on an island, so they are less than on the mainland, but still pretty dear.
Hamamatsu, population ca 800,000
The bus terminal can be seen to the left
Shinkansen sighting - I don't know yet if I will get to ride the bullet train this time.
Bicycles everywhere, fat people not so much.
I headed for Act City, a complex comprising shops, event halls, hotels, a park, and an observation deck on the Act Tower (699 feet).
I saw a wasp making a nest
Act City and Act Tower
The building was designed to resemble a harmonica because Roland, Kawai, Yamaha, etc, are HQed in Hamamatsu.

Just walking around Hamamatsu
There was a parade of palace-like floats, the Goten Yatai
Typical Japanese street food: candy apples!

My iPad put together this collection from our Thursday night weekly car show a few years ago. While not really AI it can recognize cars and assemble the photos together. Enjoy.
