bye-bye portland: the japanese gardens

It was our last day in Oregon and we were exhausted, but I insisted on one more pit stop. The most peaceful place in Portland, the Japanese Gardens. This is a “designer” place as far as I am concerned. Each eye view is meticulously crafted for maximum impact while the overall effect is still soft and natural. I will be quiet and just let you take in some of the sights as I saw them. Shhhh! Time to meditate on the transcendence of nature and design : ).

Bye-bye Portland. I so appreciate the view of earth and life from your lovely vantage point!
