Terrace of the Jade Mirror

This is a photograph taken from inside the Terrace of the Jade Mirror at Huntington Gardens Chinese Garden. This little Chinese style villa is perfectly set up for framed photographs. According to an article I read in the LA Times, the Chinese Garden was built by workmen from China, who worked for six months to create the Garden of Flowing Fragrance. This style of garden is based on the Ming era garden from about the 16th century, with buildings that have openings to look a specific view. A lot of thought went into this and made it a lot easier for me to come along and get a great photograph. Like I said before, go and visit Huntington Gardens, it's a beautiful and peaceful place, right in the middle of Pasadena. Click on the photograph for a larger version.
