Japanese Tea Garden at the Golden Gate Park





Which way???????????????

 Interesting story about the 2 rocks in the back of this Zen garden.  In the 1950's the park sent one of their garden designers to Japan to find 2 similar rocks for this garden.  He did, they were 50 miles from each other, and had them shipped to the park.  With their placement, it creates the look of a waterfall between them.  We sat here for several minutes (before another group of tourist came through) to enjoy the serenity.



An old dead tree to prop the growth of another.
