Serenity. Shinshu-en Garden, Kawasaki, Japan
If you examine maps of the enormous destruction the Allies in World War II wreaked upon the industrial area of Kawasaki, you will note that a small area to the south of the Tama River toward Tokyo Bay was less devastated. The Heiken-ji Buddhist temple - originally built at the beginning of the twelfth century CE - was largely destroyed but has been rebuilt. A short distance away is this photo's serenity. Here's the pretty Chinese Garden built in 1987. It celebrates the friendship ties between Kawasaki and the Chinese city of Shenyang.
