Sakura in Senrioka

Now I'm in Senrioka, about half way between Osaka and Kyoto. The evening rain leaves the manhole cover damp enough that the sakura, cherry blossom petals, stick to it while they blow away from the pavement surrounding it.

Valve below

OK, it's not a manhole cover, but even the Japanese valve box covers are neat!

Imabari Manhole

I hope to get a better shot of Imabari's manhole lids the next time I'm in the neighborhood.

Toon Town Manhole

Actually it's Toon City ( pronounced Tone City) But the first time I saw it I thought of the movie,' Who Killed Roger Rabbit' & it's been Toon Town for me ever since.
