Hiking, day 24: Kanemoto Park

Since the snow, most of the trails have been closed until they can dry out. So today, I headed over to a part of the Longmont Greenway that I haven't checked out until today. Today's choice was intentional: we were supposed to be flying to Kyoto today, but our trip had to be postponed due to the current health crisis. I'm especially bummed because while 2019 was a rather slow year for traveling for me (and this blog), 2020 had been promising to be much better: Japan, Hawaii, and Australia. At this point, it's looking more and more unlikely that any of these trips will happen...but we can always hope.

Kanemoto Park is named after Japanese family that was historically influential to the city of Longmont. They commissioned this Tower of Compassion for all to enjoy. Each level represents The Meaning of Compassion: Love, Empathy, Understanding, Gratitude of All Things, and Giving Selflessly of Oneself.
