Large landscape boulders are used throughout this Japanese garden to bring balance and harmony to the scenes that catch the eye as one passes by. Here fall foliage of a Japanese maple and dark green pine needles contrast with the rock.

Excellent banner and full photo! I love rocks in a landscape. This image invites me to sit and relax under the tree and refresh my soul.
