Seasonal Contrast in the - Gardens at Waters East
Postings in this ongoing series
will show the same garden “area” and “objects” at two or more
different times / seasons of the year.
The contrast will offer the viewer an appreciation of the beauty found
in the same spot but in different months.
Some of the photos have never been seen before, others were collected
from earlier postings in order to provide the needed contrast. Each season has its own “feeling”, has
its own beauty.
In this posting the focus is on
the Japanese Lantern placed on an
“island stone” in the Asian Garden.
It is carved out of heavy granite and sets the “atmosphere” the “feel”
for this special garden room.

Wonderful pictures! What a good idea to take a model, like the lantern, and take pictures from the same place during the seasons.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
Beautyful! You also have quite a lot of snow in winter! In Salzburg it started getting cold outside. In the last days we had frost in the morning.
ReplyDeleteGreetings kathrin
Wonderful comparisons of the seasons from the granite lantern's perspective. I guess it won't be long now before we receive the first snow.
ReplyDeleteThe fact you can grow Black Beauty means you don't have Japanese Beatles??? After several harsh years of being chewed on, she decided to go to the woody perennial heaven in the sky... =(
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed your perspective.
