All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winters day

No churches to stop into near this area, but there is a shrine nearby. I wonder if the head priest there likes the cold cause he knows I'm gonna stay.

Joking aside, this is a view I see often as I usually take a shortcut through this park on my way to and from work. The red of that bridge stands out so much more in the otherwise white and grey of winter.
