Look down once in a while

....

Bell ringers don't hear that too often. No matter the instrument, music directors have to remind, nag, cajole, beg musicians to look up at least once in a while. In the big cities in Japan, if you look up all the time, you'll get a stiff neck from the tall buildings, and you'll miss the art under your feet. Each city seems to have its own characteristic design for manhole covers. Here are some we've seen this year, and a few from the 2006 trip (we saw some of them on both trips). Nagoya had several pretty designs, but we had no time to get pictures as we walked from the train station to the hotel in very cold weather.
