Weekend Reflections


This is the Brooklyn Botanic's famous Japanese garden 
(the first to be created in an American public garden, in 1915).
It was designed by Japanese landscape designer Takeo Shiota and 
is considered by many to be his masterpiece. Among the
architectural elements used by Shiota are bridges, a
viewing pavilion, and a torii, or gateway (seen here).

    Very serene, but with a little energising boost from the red. The reflections are lovely, Alexa.

    I am calling by this evening as another participant in Weekend Reflections. What a lovely place and it also has bluebells which I miss.

    This is so lovely. I had the great privilege of seeing the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto, Japan...incredible reflections there, as well.
