Description
I used infrared to capture this image at the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis, Missouri. This bridge is located in the Seiwa-en Japanese Garden designed by Koichi Kawana. Seiwa-en is the Garden of Pure, Clear, Harmony and Peace. The ZigZag Bridge or Yatsuhashi means eight bridges and is meant to slow your steps to enjoy the changing views offered by each step.
Bring a little Zen in your home. This is a perfect gift for a gardener. If you cannot have a water fountain in your house , use this image to get the Feng Shui water element in your home.
This is a perfect photo for a meditation room, yoga studio, home or office. Bring some harmony back into your hurried life.
This image is one of five in my Feng Shui series. The presence of this image in a home or business environment creates a sense of focus. While much household ornamentation can be appreciated for its aesthetics, in feng shui the primary purpose has been to solicit good fortune for it\'s inhabitants. Our surroundings project onto our moods and spirits. The things we look at, even if just a glimpse, effect our subconscious. We can accomplish harmony by using art which is first of all aesthetic ,but also functional to create a sense of ease and good fortune in our everyday lives.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.

Thanks for commenting. Believe it or not, this image was captured in springtime , not winter. I always have fun with the infrared effect!
