Zen Bridge

Following the Sawtooth series next with a series on bridges I've enjoyed here and there.

 

Starting with this colorful bridge in the Zen Garden of Victoria's Butchart Garden. Very peaceful and serene.

 

"The Japanese term for a Zen garden that uses only rocks and gravel is "karesansui," which means "dry landscape." The gardener places rocks in a bed of gravel in strategic locations to symbolize islands and mountains, and rakes the gravel to suggest flowing water. They were intended to imitate the intimate essence of nature, and be an evocative work of art that draws the viewer into a state of contemplation." Wiki
