Places, Stuff → Gardens made of sand and stone
When we are thinking about gardens there is one image in our mind: lots of trees, flowers, flowers, flowers, some vegetables and garden buildings in the corner. Or perhaps with only one summerhouse and a grass but must be GREEN! But there are also gardens so different than those one in our imagination. These are Japanese Zen Gardens, so pure, simple and peaceful, there are sometimes called ‘Dry Landscape Gardens’ cause flowers and water don’t play a great role there. More important are sand and stone – green elements are only part of the chaos, while stone and sand belong to peace. Look on the pictures below and let yourself be amazed by those beautiful dry gardens!
