Day 316, 12 Nov 2017: Towards peace...

Day 316: ...a day in the park

This will be a post in two parts: part one here, pic of the day: part two will be over the way on psephy's ~ologies because the day crossed over between work and walk, as Sundays often do. I found myself spending much of today at a local park, coincidentally called the 'Peace Park', where a committee had gathered several groups who seek to maintain peace, preserve Japan's constitution and don't want to see Japan return t war. But I'll talk more about that elsewhere. 

It also happened to be a remarkable blue sky day and the leaves were turning, as they do in autumn, and the ducks were ducking.

I do have to admire the resolve of people like this who work hard and really believe in this kind of activity. It is all volunteer work and they all hope that peace will be maintained. It shouldn't be that hard, really. It was also nice to find another local park, I might return.
