In the garden… Scene from the Orto Botanico in the Brera District of Milan
A couple finds respite in the cool shade of the garden on a hot Summer day. We did the same. After walking through the garden we found a bench and just enjoyed the scenery. The mosquitos got to be a bit fierce, though. Bring bug spray if you visit in summer. 😀

Scene from the Orto Botanico in the Brera District of Milan
In this scene we get an important lesson on how sight lines can make a garden seem much larger than it is. The leading lines of the pathway, the encroaching growth of the plants and the architecture at the end make it seem like the garden goes on for an even greater distance.
This garden is hemmed in By buildings on each side and isn’t particularly large, but new vistas were always opening up as you walked about.
