Kak Attack

I decided to do some exploring in the Kak yesterday since I had a day off and no money to go anywhere else! :P

A cemetary quite near my house, I'm afraid I don't know what the significance of the red blankets is but I thought it looked cool!



A view of the river and surrounding hills. It's a really attractive area and just across the river is a riding stable. I went to visit and met a really nice Canadian woman who rides there, unfortunately she confirmed what I had suspected, riding here is beyond my budget. :(



I can safely say that cycling is most unpopular here... :P The guy on the left is one of the 'parking officers' but a good kind, they don't hand out parking fines they are there purely to organise the bikes. Once you've parked your bike and walked away they come and make sure that it is using the minimum of space and perfectly aligned with all the others. You can just see the rear mud-guard of Big Red poking out in front of the lady's bike.



And speaking of bikes, this is a picture of what I have been terming 'Granny Bikes', this is not the best one I have seen but it's not a bad example, note well the gauntlets and knitted seat cover! Some even have an umbrella attached!



My local temple, Kakurinji, I have seen the signs to it but this was the first time that I had gone to find it (didn't bother before as I never had my camera with me). It's really impressive, lots of buildings and a nice park next to it.
