Whilst I was away in Ireland this summer, we went to see some Japanese Gardens, which were so extremely pretty. So, I have photos! :D

This is my favourite one, which I waited for ages on a tiny path for everyone to get off the bridge for. ¬.¬

This is just a pretty flower there.

Another path, set of steps, sort of thing. There were lots of them. XD

The well and the house. I'm stupid, because I've forgotten what the house is called. I'm thinking pagoda, but I don't think that's right...

The house/pagoda thing close-up.

And my other favourite. This time I stood on a small and slippery stepping stone for about ten minutes, waiting for all the people to get out of the way. Only... when I got home, Hollie pointed out to me the head sticking out the top of the bushes on the left. *sigh* Oh well...
Japanese!!! *gets down on knees to seiza postion and worships the computer screen*

The house's not a pagoda cause pagodas are those tall chinesy temples. :)
But those pictures are cool! I wanna go see some Japanese gardens in Japan! XD XD

Horrid Modliness:
Being the artistic moderator I am, I would suggest that we look not just at the gardens, but also at the aesthetic aspect of the photos. Please, don't just comment on how cool the gardens are. We all know they're awesome. Instead, try to make note of the different aspects of the photographs. Otherwise, we may as well move these photos to off-topic and call it fantastic.
This shall be edited later with full critiques when I have the time, energy, and no English homework looming over my head.

Those are gorgeous! I'm hoping to go to Japan one day, but so far, it looks like a far off dream!
