Kenrokuen Garden

One of the delights of Kanazawa is the Kenrokuen Garden. It's beautifully landscaped and lies next to Kanazawa's castle. I'll let the picture do the talking and I think you'll agree they are exquisite. They were taken at around 6 am since entry to the gardens was free until 7.00 am and several of us decided to take some badly needed exercise when the day was still cool. The party included me, two Belgians and my colleague, Anna Firmino from Portugal, chair of the Commission whose meeting I was attending.

You'll notice that this is not a flower garden, but rather a succession of sculptured lawns, trees, monuments, and water features.
