A Healing Garden

I was at the University Hospital today. Just passing through and seeing Melody's cousin who works there. We stopped in to see this garden It is a Healing Garden which is a place for staff and paitents to go and relax.
It was the first time that I was there. It really is a very quiet and peaceful place in the midst of a place that czn be very stressful.

What a great idea to have one of these in a hospital. Like your pov.

[Michael Elliott]

Great idea. It's nice some hospitals have a place to be alone with your thoughts without being in the midst of all the commotion. Nice pic.

[karenann]

Lovely place . . nice area to go to when you need it. Love the angles and plants. That statue looks interesting.

[Brian Baptie]

A tremendous idea.

I like the composition

[Mb Swartz]

It looks very calming. What a wonderful idea.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It looks lovely- and definitely a place to feel better! I like the way you composed the shot too. The curve of the garden and the counter curve of the balcony work well to draw the eye to the center of the picture.

[Carolyn White]

What a gorgeous place! You captured it perfectly! Fav!

[Mrs. Smith]

It's beautiful...and needed in a hospital setting.

[Paula]

What a lovely calm oasis to have in such a stressful place to have to be in! I wish we had one like it in our hospital!

[bkb in the city]

@laurentye Yes it is. It is on the fourth floor

[Lauren]

okay, then that explains the unfamiliarity. i only ever go as high as the 3rd floor

[Alta D©]

nice!

[bkb in the city]

@altadc Thanks

[Jane]

What a wonderful idea... every hospital should have a healing garden... so therapeutic

[bkb in the city]

@aromatic I agree with you on that for sure

[summerfield]

i like this garden. makes me want to go to that hospital. here, we're afraid to go to a hospital, if you do you'd pick up some virus and end up getting sick. so if i have to go there for any reason at all, i'd leave in a haste soon as i'm through.

[bkb in the city]

@summerfield I am not a big fan of hospitals so it was a very nice surprise to find this in one
