Description

Hi all... hope New Year has started very well for you :o) Cause I'm longing for spring I decided to post a new series I took in the early spring last year at a very special location in my home town. There's a friendly relationship between the town Zhenjiang in South China and my hometown Mannheim. In 2001 about 30 Chinese craftsmen have built a so called "Duojing-Garden"(that means "Garden of the beautiful views") here in our largest public parc. The center is a tea house where I love to sit, have a cup of tea and listen to soft and lovely Chinese melodies. This shot isn't my favourite one but I thought I should start the walk with an overall view. I dedicate this first shot to j-dwarf who I promised to post a series from this garden and the tea house some months ago. Sorry you had to wait such a long time, Joerg. Hope you all like my new series and enjoy walking around with me ;o) Thanks for viewing Comments are always welcome Hugz Monika
