Foot bridge at Japanese Garden

Can you tell I haven't taken any other photos since my trip to the Japanese Gardens? But I do want to share the ones I captured there. It was disappointing as gardens go...I thought. I expected more water with koi and miniature temples.....

Lovely capture of the bridge in the shade of the trees. It is rather disappointing when something doesn’t match your expectations.

This is a splendid shot!

Did they have raked gravel? Fascinating to see that.

Love this scene, I want to cross over the bridge and look at what's there. ( Oh perhaps not if it's not exciting!)

A lovely shady scene

Dappled light. Very oriental.

Lovely shot

[Glover Shearron, Jr.]

Lovely image, feels like we are being let in on a secret.

[sheri]

Lots of nice detail even in this shade shot.

Love the shot with the light beyond the bridge.

@wakelys thanks for your nice critique. one has to visit these places to know what the hold.
@carolmw @carole_sandford @jacqbb @jernst1779 @haskar @milestonevisualmedia @cashep19 @sherimiya Thanks everyone, you all got the "story" of the image, that makes me feel good!

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

@ggshearron I like that you see a narrative in this! Thanks!

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

@shutterbug49 It's nice contrast, isn't it? Thanks for your visit!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond So cool that people saw a "story" in this photo and imaginations took off looking at it. They didn't have a Zen rock garden, the reflecting pool was blocked off with the most un-photogenic caution tape, no koi pond....the large pagoda building, this characteristic foot bridge, red symbol gate were really the only clue that it was a Japanese garden....it was a good exercise in "making a silk purse out of a sow's ear...."
