LANDSCAPE DESIGN: MOON GATE

Can you read the landscape design elements supporting this Moon Gate? Canopy trees, understory trees, coarse texture, fine texture, dark green foliage, light green foliage, cone forms, arching forms, horizontal forms, round form, branching forms, coarse stone, fine stone, plaster surfaces, wood plank surfaces, wood shingle surfaces, filled space, empty space. This picture, alone, a landscape design class.
Taken at Atlanta Botanical Garden last week when I taught a class.
The Japanese garden is looking the best I've seen it throughout many years.
A tiny garden, it lives big. Behind the wall, above? Covered seating to enjoy the view of the garden. It's another landscape design class with a pond, stream, bridge, plantings & more.
