The Japanese Garden is named Seiwa-en, which means the garden of pure, clear harmony and peace. Designed with great care by the late Professor Koichi Kawana to ensure authenticity, this 14-acre garden is the largest Japanese strolling garden in the Western hemisphere. A four-acre lake is complemented with waterfalls, streams, water-filled basins, and stone lanterns.

Any and all comments and critiques welcome!!

I'm a big Orton fan, so this plays quite nicely in my view. Beautiful greens and such a peaceful, lovely garden. Wish I had one!

I like the edit that you placed on this.It works very well here.Its not your fault, I know, but if those dark pine needle were not there this would open things up allot.

love the Orton effect on this one - it makes it appear even more Japanese if that is possible.
