Early Winter

It looks like January. It feels like January. And we haven’t even entered December yet.

Water View

  

Looking at the view above it is perhaps not quite easy to determine the perspective, so let’s step back a little bit:

We’re on top of a hill, and that stone wall surrounds the dam above an artificial waterfall:

      

Pictures from 1½ week ago (9 October).

From the same cemetery/park as in yesterday’s post.
These five photos are all straight-from-the-camera shots with my little Nikon Coolpix.

Waterfall

The Garden, At Last

The Garden in the Museum park, surrounded by a traditional wooden fence.

An artificial waterfall runs down the hill from the park to a lake below.
On the right a piece from last years open air exhibition – a “pool of tears”
(made from broken glass) hidden among the trees in the Garden.

“Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden, and there he put the man he had formed. --- A river watering the garden flowed from Eden, and from there it divided…”
~Genesis 2:8, 10~

“Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse.”
~The Book of Revelation 22:1-3~

This ends my series from the outdoor exhibition Gates – The Dream of the Secret Garden.
The first post was published last Monday (9 August).

Lilies by the Waterfall

My lover has gone down to his garden,
       to the beds of spices,
       to browse in the gardens
       and to gather lilies.

~Song of Solomon 6:2~

See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor
was dressed like one of these.

~ Matthew 6:28-29 ~
