Beautiful pics from the Confucian Temple, Shanghai, October 2011 from Parabola’s poetry editor, Lee Van Laer. Thanks Lee!
Of this particular photo, Lee writes: “Chinese gardens and temples typically display meticulously landscaped paths and features which reveal intimate new aspects with practically every step. Vegetation is chosen for complementary aesthetic qualities, such as sweeping willow branches, scalloped topiaries, spreading grasses and exuberant bamboos.”
