I just want to crawl into this picture and curl up and die happy!!
Taken at Hashimoto Kansetsu Memorial Museum Garden, in Kyoto, Japan.
A place of stunning beauty, peace and tranquility.
I'm sorry my (lack of) skill as a photographer was unable to do it proper justice.
PS:
As far as the "Zen" theme goes, I take issue with the description.
Zen is not always "simple, elegant, sparse" or austere.
This is a limited expression of the zen experience, and I believe it is a western misconception.
The "is-ness" of the now ... the present moment ... is complex in it's simplicity & can be experienced in a mountain cave hermitage, or just as easily in a big city like New York, Tokyo, London, etc...

No apology required you did a great job. The path lead the eye to the bridge. One suggestion would be to use a polarizing filter.
