Picture windows with endless views!Recently I visited a Chinese Garden ( its called the Chinese Friendship Garden and its in Sydney) . I must confess that at first I thought, oh this is just going to be another pretty garden, but once I started walking through it, it was a gasp-a-minute viewing.
The vistas so cleverly planned and executed, 'picture' nature windows, the black bamboo, pagodas, and story book come to life garden beds were just spectacular, and off course provide any photographer with a million beautiful photo opportunities! me included. The new camera was tested over and over and over . . .
In one of the pavillions there was a costume shop where you could hire an authentic costume to walk around the gardens in. So much prettiness!
First time I saw black bamboo! It is lovely! There is also a story/myth about the bamboo which I will post in another time.
Hope youve enjoyed this short ramble around this garden with me!
Gorgeous pics, Krissie! I adore Asian-influenced gardens and decor. They always have a peaceful and Zen-like quality about them.
ReplyDeleteOh I love those gardens! AND BAMBOO! It's just an amazing beautiful plant. Thanks for sharing the photos!

I love bamboo - can't wait to hear the story about it! Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteLooks very zen. I love bamboo, but I planted it once and it takes over the whole garden, so it's a no-no for us. This black bamboo is new to me, it's beautiful.
