This was taken during a trip to a Japanese garden in Oregon.

I have always liked Japanese gardens. While a lot of them are artificial in a way (no, plants don’t automatically organize themselves that neatly), they do so with a very earthly approach. The strong use of green foliage, gray / white rocks, and brown woods, is a perfect representation of nature’s color.

I really like the calmness and the tidiness this picture gives off, so much, that I printed and framed it.
