Grazing on the Great Plain

I look forward to scene such as this when travelling along the great plain. My favourite time of the year!

Kyokushin 極真 revisited (3)

A few weeks ago, we walked pass the Shinto Gate and was pleasantly surprised to see this new mural bull (?) & martial artist. Unfortunately, I was without camera at the time.
Then I read that the European championship is to be held on last Satuday April, 16 and of course I have to be there to post the updated memorial here.

Some were enjoying the newly paved jogging trail at the park ... brrr


While we just carefully walked and take in the sight ...


Then our legs were numb from the cold...
