We're gonna need MORE MIRRORS! #Ageo #Saitama #Japan #日本 #埼玉県 #上尾

At the corner of an intersection of small roads without sidewalks stands an orange pole, to which are attached not one, not two, not three, but four parabolic traffic mirrors at different angles, hinting at a chaotic little intersection.

#Yaeda #Shrine in #Ageo #Saitama #Japan #日本 #埼玉県 #上尾 #八枝神社

The shrine's gate is parallel to the road in the foreground - I was standing on the other side and at an acute angle as I took the pic - the dark wooden shrine is at a 90-degree angle. There are large but because it is winter barren trees. The midday sun is slightly backlighting the scene. The sky is slightly overcast but the sun is coming through strong.

The small shrine next to #Tachibana shrine in #Ageo #Saitama #Japan #日本 #埼玉県 #上尾 #橘神社

A couple of red wooden lanterns in posts in front of a stone torii gate in front of a smaller shrine. I crouched down to make the shot so the lens is angled upwards and only capturing the top two thirds of lanterns and gate and the shrine with just a bit of its masonry foundation.

I love sun bleached signs. #Ageo #Saitama #Japan #日本埼 #玉県 #上尾

A thin sign about hip high is attached with wires to a lamp post. Its color has turned from red to rusty; the text from white to dirty. There are two columns of Japanese text on it that read from the upper right-hand side: "Accidents frequently happen ahead, beware of the traffic light."

A while ago I stumbled upon an abandoned factory in the countryside that looked very steampunky. I found its smaller cousin in #Ageo #Saitama #Japan #日本 #埼玉県 #上尾

This is a furnace that is part of an industrial estate. It consists of a fire chamber with a curved roof about the size of a single-car garage. Through some curved pipes the smoke gets directed to a large smokestack to the right of it. The unit is not in use when I took the picture; it may not be abandoned like the factory mentioned in the post.

Three roofs #Tachibana #Shrine in #Ageo #Saitama #Japan #日本 #埼玉県 #上尾 #橘神社

A shot taken from the side of the grounds. In the foreground is the tip of a stone lantern and a section of the roof of the shrine, in front of which it's situated. A bit further in the back is a side view of most of the non-public section of the main shrine and with it its ornately made wooden roof. Technically, there's a fourth rid because the fence surrounding the main shrine also has a tilted, tiled roof. But I've decided that doesn't count! The sky is mostly blue with a couple of clouds.
