Nishinomiya Japanese Garden at Manito Park

A very serene place in town!

This image leaps off the page and calls to me...a wonder composition, Don. Nice work! I think I could sit in this spot for hours and listen to the sound of falling water.

One of those images that totally captures the imagination on a 'want to be there' basis . . what a wonderful scene of a landscape beautifully crafted.

What fabulous, soft color transitions, and peaceful elements. I'm afraid if I lived nearby I would go there every day. I choose peace, you know?

"Oh wow, that's so nice" was the immediate thought even before I had lined up the full view of this beautiful setting. I love the framing, and these muted colour notes where the leaves have begun to change. Great shot, Don.

Delectable Don
I will be rather frantic with summer over the next couple of weeks or so and may not get to visit often, if at all, but will play catch up when I can.

Excellent. Perfect shutter speed

lovely shot. i like how they did this part of the garden. are you going to show the rest of the garden?

A fine shot of this lovely garden. There is nothing finer than a Japanese garden to look at. I just wouldn't want to maintain one.

I like the water falls and the foliage around it, good capture.

very nice don

Lovely muted light and a lively garden with the waterfall. Very beautiful.

Oh yes! Gorgeous

Very nice shaggy greenery. The well placed trail leads right to the waterfall. Well done, Don.

What a beautiful place and capture, great work !!!

beautiful array of maple and a sublime waterfall - what more could one wish for?!?

beautiful and peaceful garden. lovely shot.

Those pastel leaves are beautiful! Lovely scene.

A very nicely framed image. Well done.

japanese gardens (..or all gardens for that matter) are a great place to relax.. especially those with flowing water through them.. :)

Beautiful place. Nice framing. Love the tiny water falls and the green leaves ... :)
