For me, a garden is something similar to this (ok, it can be less beautiful), with flowers, trees, etc… Green stuff.

But, there are also rocks and sand gardens, deeply influenced by the zen culture. It’s true that after a while you start seeing relationships, and giving a meaning to the configuration of the garden… But I still don’t get it completely…



Amazing. This time we only had time for some walking around, and visiting a couple of sights (temples mainly), but I promise a second visit to Kyoto.
In Kyoto, you can see this beautiful temple, called the Golden Pavillion…

…relax and reflect looking for the meaning of life in zen gardens …

…have a nice walk in the wealth company under thousands of toriis…

…get together with the nature in the temples’ gardens…

…or just contemplate the politeness of two geishas in the street.

Yes, Kyoto deserves more than one post…
