girls, be ambitious

I used to walk/cycle through the Imperial Palace every morning on my way to school. Although the palace surrounds are basically wide open gravel lined with trees, there was a small shortcut onto the main road that I used to take. On the right there was a dusty baseball field where kid’s teams played every Sunday, decked out magnificently in their white uniforms. On the left was a veil of trees, unexpectedly dark. The first time I cycled through, I remember thinking that it looked just like that scene from 千と千尋の神隠し, and how it seemed like a path to the spirit world could open any minute.
