Spikes and Sharp, in Color!
Unripe chestnut pods on the chestnut tree near the front of our house in Kitahiroshima. The typhoon that came through yesterday wasn't very strong by the time it got here (the eye passed over us, and we got a lot of wind later, but no where near as much as on the 5th of September). So, the tree is still full of chestnut pods. I suspect the tree belongs to the same person who owns the wonderful vegetable garden across our road - it's going to be a popular tree in a few more weeks.
