dragoness_eAs mentioned recently, I finally thought to bring cash for the admission fee and was able to see the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Here starts a jillion pictures or so. You'll see a lot of people in the background of these pictures; this Japanese garden is a very popular place.
Japanese Tea Garden, part 1 - Entrance photos from back in late December 2007.
Close-up of the plaque over the entrance gate
About the gates
Twisted tree just inside the entrance
Zen mountain
Bamboo Wall
First of many ponds and watercourses
Water is an important element of this Japanese garden. That's the tea shop in the background.
More of the same watercourse.
Note the stone lamp in the foreground and the gravel 'beach' in the background.
