Portland Japanese Garden in fall
This is the scenery of the Portland Japanese garden on Oct 5, 2012 in Oregon, America.
The Japanese garden is located in Washington Park in Portland city blessed with the beautiful nature.
This Japanese garden is best known among the Japanese gardens in foreign countries.
In the beginning of September, 2014, Mr. Peter Podaras gave me the images which he photographed two years ago.

This lantern seems to be a post town style of the Edo era in Japan.

This maple whose leaves are red, judging from its bark, seems to bepaperbark maple from China.
