This is a bamboo garden that we stumbled onto in Kamakura, Japan. We lived in the area for 7-1/2 years and had never heard of this place.

Garden or Cemetary?

This was a cemetery.   As often found in Japan beautiful gardens incorporated into the burial grounds for loved one's ashes.   The results are a tranquil, beautiful setting to contemplate life.

This has been a fun page.   Just seeing how much stuff can be worked onto one page.   CSS 3 is going to open the doors to much more creative designs although I would not necessarily say this page is creative.   But I love the graduated backgrounds and the multiple column layout without a lot of hassle is great!
