A Pure Garden I
Enlarge this photograph and take a close look at this natural garden. Remind you of Eden? I love Japanese gardens because they have the appearance of being totally natural and yet they are 100 percent cultivated.
But this alpine flora is totally adapted to the changeable conditions. The colours are gorgeous and earthy. They reflect the Tasmanian palette that artist Max Angus promoted in his long art career as a painter of the Tasmanian wilderness. Max was influenced by his photographer friend Olegas Truchanas, and they in turn shaped the way Peter Dombrovskis saw the Tasmanian wilderness - with pure unadulterated joy.
One final point. At the moment I have the arduous job of weeding my own garden. But look closely here. Do you see any weeds? Any plants out of place? No need for weeding in a pure natural environment. There's a real lesson here for all of us!
