A Run in Between Rainy Days

It is Sunday in Tokyo and is raining very hard again.  Another typhoon is approaching.  Yesterday morning, I went for a nice run in our neighborhood.  Good thing I did for it is NOT possible to run today.

Hyotanbashi Bridge had some damage. 

The pond by the bridge was dirty.

Water was still coming out of a trail side.

Can see the hole where the water is coming out.

Here's another area of water coming out.

The pond on the far other side - the well side - water is very clear.

Statues by Seibo Kitamura in the edge of Inokashira Park Zoo.

Flowers were pretty on the field by my running trail.

Tamagawajosui north of Musashi Sakai.

The pedestrian bridge to cross Itsukaichi Kaido is getting a face lift.

A persimmon tree in Koganei Park.

A dog run - for smaller sized ones.

A nice field of cosmos.

An old steam locomotive display.

I saw many runners there.

Small children was starting Undokai.

Small vegetable fields - cabbages and 

Tamako Cycling Road that comes straight back towards Kichijoji.

Water Coming Out of Ground After Storm

We had a typhoon sweep by Tokyo on Saturday-Sunday.  It seems to have caused underground water level to raise and we have water coming out of the ground by Inokashira and Zenpukuji Parks.  I went for runs in the mornings of Tuesday and Wednesday and found that.

Beautiful Sunrise of Tuesday morning by Kugayama Train Depot.

Fallen leaves and branches were left at Inokashira Park.

I noticed an unusually big water puddle.

Then I notice this hole on the ground with water coming out.

Wednesday morning, I ran to Zenpukuji Park to find parts of the trail around the pond were barricaded.

The pond over flowed beyond its edge.

The area around the lake was very wet and muddy.

More barricade.

Yet, there were some older people doing Radio Taiso.

Fallen leaves on the street going up from the pond.

Back at Inokashira Park, this area was still flooded.

Water was coming out of the ground.

More water coming out from behind the public toilet.

The pond well was turned off, but water seemed to be seeping out.

 Inokashira Pond seen from the south side - flooded here, too.

We have another typhoon approaching - it is expected to get here early next week.  It is very unusual to have them this late in the year.

Eagle Rock Morning Run

I had a short stay in Eagle Rock, CA.  My wife and I enjoyed a nice run on Friday morning.  It was very hilly, though.

It is almost Halloween.

A yard of a house with cacti.

A view of the residential area from a hill.

The big rock that gave the area the name.  You can see the shape of the bird.

Eucalyptus trees are abundant.
