Japanese gardens

Just returned from Tokyo visiting the various gardens. This picture is taken at the Zen garden next to the Sensoji temple at Nezu, Tokyo at the opening at 9 am. By 10 am, the place is jam packed with visitors snaking their ways through the amazing azalea bushes.

I will be posting pictures of other gardens later.

Gary: The thumbnail did not prepare me for this! Talk about eye candy. Really nice comp and the path and people give a sense of scale that makes the whole scene even more impressive. Looking forward to more. >=))>

Beautiful shot, Gary. The path and the people give this both a sense of scale and some additional elements of interest.
