Hydrangea in Prague (July 2016)
Wallenstein Palace was built in 1630, but I don’t know if this wall was there from the beginning. There are many gardens on the grounds, and this photo is from one called “The Grotto”. Historians don’t even know why it was built, so I suspect this has been there for hundreds of years.
Kongobuji Rock Garden
@PDXJapaneseGdn
I’ve visited Portland at least a couple dozen times over the past 25 years. I thought I had been to the Portland Japanese Garden about 20 years ago. We went for a visit this past weekend, and I realized it was the Seattle Japanese Garden that I went to long ago so this was a first. There was a pretty good downpour just before (and just after) taking this photo (which is a photomerge of 22 photos) so not many people around.

This place (photo from 2016) in Kew Gardens, also known as the Dutch House, dates back to the early 17th Century. The garden in back (front right of this picture) is known as the Queen’s Garden. The oil portrait, below, is of the same location (but from the front instead of from the rear garden) and dates to 1733.
