Wow, that is just so cool, thanks for posting.

It looks so relaxing, and man could I use that about now!

 

[Shinpachi]

Thank you very much, Wildcat, for so many many interesting photos.
I might have understood why Australians are so familiar with Japanese culture.
Very impressive.

That does look like a serene setting.

I especially like the Karesansui

You're welcome mate
Now whats this Karesansui thing you guys speak of?

 

[Shinpachi]

Karesansui(Dry landscape garden) is a garden style that white sands or white gravels imitate water.

The sytle was originally adopted by Zen temples where it was hard to get water for the garden.

Karesansui: Rock Garden

* LOL *
Looks like Shinpachi and I posted about the same time!

The reason I like this type, is that in an "atrium" style setting, it's more intimate than ones that are out in the open.

Ah, thanks for the education guys

Here is another Commonwealth Cemetery locates just a ten minute's drive from my house. I took these this morning and it was a nice spring day. Fourth from top is British Section and at the bottom is for the Australians. There was a couple visiting from Adelade, S.A. and they were to find their relative's resting place.

Here are some more. The turfs look rather dried but they were very beautiful when I visited in February. On the top is the British Section including some from Hong Kong. Several of the Royal Naval Aviators (RNVR A-boys) are arso resting here. The second and the third are for the Canadians. The bottom one shows the inside of the Cremation Hall. There are also the sections set for New Zealand, India and Pakistan. The Cemetery has been a very nice and quiet place in the middle of the congested residential area.
