WELCOME TO MY BLOG.
I've always had an interest in gardens and in the natural world. I soon realized that these were more than just flowers to me, but people, places, pictures, history, thoughts...
Starting from a detail seen during one of my visits, unexpected worlds come out, sometimes turned to the past, others to the future.
Travel in a Garden invites you to discover them.

Famous places in Kyoto: Autumn Leaves at Tsutenkyo Bridge.

It can become a kind of addiction: red leaves are never enough. Despite the crowd, there is always a new path, a different view or a new tree worth seeing.
Tsutenkyo Bridge at the Tofuku-ji Temple, Kyoto, is one of these beautiful sceneries, and it has been for a long time. The Japanese master of landscape woodblock prints, Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), included it in one of his famous landscape series dated around 1834. The trees in the print are today a thick, enchanting maple wood that extends below the bridge, a unique, unforgettable view just for a few days.
