We walked downtown today to see what we could of the preparation of the inauguration for Joe Biden. These US army troops were a few of the military and law enforcement personnel deployed. They were in a rush. As the troops passed, the ones at the rear shouted for those in front to slow down. This was taken about a block away from the White House. Click on the image for a larger view.

Arrival
We arrived at our new home in Washington, D.C., at the beginning of the year. You might be able to imagine what we have been doing since then. Fortunately, our home no longer looks like the last scene from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc. We are excited to be in a new place and are looking forward to sharing our stories.
Happy New Year 2021
We wish you a wonderful and prosperous New Year!

Sacred Spaces, Part 2
The entrance to Atago Jinja, founded in 1603, marked by the shinto Tori gate or Torii. Built on one of the highest points in Edo overlooking the bay (26 m, 85 ft.), the shrine was famous for its views. Today, that view is obscured by buildings. The fire god Homusubi-no-mikoto is the main deity, reflecting how deadly and feared fires were to the Edo population. From the book Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Emptiness: Tokyo Landscapes.
