Near where I live, there is a small, ornamental, Japanese garden. The raked gravel, I'm told, represents the sea. The two rocks in the foreground are 'islands', and the mainland, with 'mountains' and 'forests' can be seen at the top of the frame.
It's a peaceful spot for a spell of quiet contemplation.

@RickGaehl I just love Zen gardens. I only know of two here in Britain. One in Kew Gardens which is huge and another tiny one in someones front garden in Totnes that I used to see when I drove my truck past it.

The Kew Gardens one is a place to sit and be calm. The Totnes one was a tiny moment of joy in a busy day full of hard work.

Funnily enough, this one is at Dartington Hall, just outside Totnes. I wonder whether one served as the inspiration for the other?
