Do you think this is an accident? Just Let It Touch. My landscape design trick with focal points.
Foliage barely gracing the edges of a focal point.

Pruning to the event.

Siting the Well-Placed-Chair. It's on axis in the woodland walk from the back gate, and the front gate. It's on axis from inside, Vanishing Threshold: downstairs breakfast room & living room, upstairs library.
.
More than a home run, the chair has 5 axis views. .
And you thought it was just a chair in the garden?

Traipsing continents for decades seeking what makes a landscape work. Seeing universal patterns across space/time. Copying them. Naming them.

In college my landscape design classes had none of this stuff. Why not?
Perhaps it's what the Founding Fathers discovered. When truths are Self-Evident they need to be written. .
