Garden Design Ideas: Double Axis

Garden Design is almost a features game.  A template of features show up in every good garden for over 10,000 years.  Literally.

When the same focal point is viewed in 2 axis you have a Double Axis.
.
You must have Double Axis with your Garden Design.
.
At a minimum.
.
But don't stop there.  Sissinghurst Castle has a male nude statue on axis from 5 main views.
.
Do the math, that's 10 axis views.

Slow down, go back to the 10,000 year remark.  Why did I put it in?
.
A little point made, you will not recreate the wheel.  Instead drive the known wheel, make it travel where you want.  That, alone, is enough to keep you occupied for a lifetime.

I shot the pics last month.
