Spring visit to a Japanese garden (1)

This is the first shot of a small series.

A global view over garden and pond.
On the right side you can see a typical teahouse, unevitable centrally placed in every Japanese garden.

Location : Japanese garden at Hasselt (Belgium), the largest of its kind in Europe.
It was constructed with the help of the Japanese city of Itami in 1992 based on the pattern of a 17th century Japanese tea garden.
