Perfection in the Japanese garden

One cannot immagine that vandals had destroyed this garden last year...just for fun.

From the intense impressions in China...

...to the quiet surroundings of my original hometown in Holland for a small holiday on my way back to Italy. This beautiful estate is open to the public and contains a spectacular Japanese garden which opens for one month per year only.

A certain symmetry helps relaxing the mind...

...after a long journey.

It was a long trip...
