Exotic Reflection

When I went to Portland, I think my favorite part of the entire trip was the Japanese Garden there. It was a very serene place, but I had a difficult time capturing that serenity with the level of experience I had at the time. The few photos I took that did capture that serenity were, ironically, the ones I never would have thought would turn out well.
This photo is at the top of that list. It still could have turned out better (could do with a little less pavement in the frame), but it still managed to capture the sense of scale, and the way that the Japanese Garden invites people to pause and reflect, which is what makes it so magical.
