Osake Bike Tour


I took Casey's bike today while he was at work so that I could see a bit more of the city. Having already seen most of the central parts of town, I decided to take a look at the port and industrial parts of the city. I was pretty surprised to find how polluted it was, considering how amazingly clean everything is in more residential areas of the country. This picture was taken from the top of a big suspension bridge that spanned one of the port's many canals. The air was so bad up here, I had to pull my shirt up over my mouth to breathe. Below is a spiral-shaped onramp and steel plant in the background.
