Shadows Cast by the Pergola

The patio ground at noon. The wooden pergola overhead and climbing grapevines cut the sunlight into dappled light and shadow, falling on the light-colored stone and outdoor sofa, swaying slightly with the wind; the lawn outside the pergola is bright and dazzling in full sun. Avoid: using a solid roof to make the patio completely dark, using a canvas umbrella instead of a pergola, having pergola wood slats too dense to let any light through, having no shade in the entire yard.

正午時分的露台地面。頭頂的木棚架與攀爬的葡萄藤把陽光切成斑駁的光影,落在淺色石材與戶外沙發上,隨著風輕微晃動;棚架外的草地則是明亮刺眼的全日照。避免:用實心屋頂讓露台全暗、使用帆布遮陽傘取代棚架、棚架的木條間距過密完全不透光、讓整個院子都沒有陰影。
