The Japanaese garden, Sansho-En, at the CBG is on three islands. I was viewing the garden on Saturday, less as a grand landscape (which it really is), focusing more on its component parts like a bright yellow willow tree, the rocks in the lake, or rounded stones on the shore. One of the elements that really caught my eye like never before, was the sculptured or styled trees – mostly pines. This one (I think a Scots Pine) had a striking profile and with the ice of the frozen lake as a wonderful backdrop, really stood out as a feature on its own.
