Kanatake walk, August 18, 2021

The forecast was wet, but it did not keep us at home. Corona didn't either. 7 People gathered for the monthly visit. The sky was heavily overcast and it rained a little, but the big downpour didn't start until noon. Lucky! Due to the increase of Covid 19 infections in Fukuoka we were not supposed to walk together and we kept our distance in a way. It is hard when you share the same interest and somebody makes an interesting discovery! I really hope next month's circumstances will be better.
