A little land art

I couldn't resist rearranging the leaves that had fallen onto the seating in Victoria art gallery's Japanese garden.

To put this in context, the gallery is in a mansion in a leafy area of grand old houses -

The old house provides elegant display space, as well as offices, and is connected to the new wing. Part of the garden (behind the bamboo) is a huge granite boulder: bedrock. The garden has a little waterfall, and a Shinto shrine, as well as large, inviting benches - Inside the gallery, one display is of miniature objects from China and Japan - snuff bottles and their shadows -

and some slightly sinister netsuke -
