China Postcard Opus 11 – “Humble” Garden

DIGITAL CAMERA The sylvan scene above is part of the “Humble” Garden located in the city of Suzhou. Although is looks completely natural, spectacular vistas such are more often than not planned and constructed to look completely natural. There is a walkway linking the various parts of the garden and is constructed so as to give the visitor the impression that she is in a natural environment when, in reality, the bustling city is sometimes only a short walk away. Such gardens are meant as places to wonder at and in which to contemplate, relax, and commune with nature.
