Chinese Gardens: Layered Views through Borrowed Scenery and Moon Gates

Classical Chinese scholar garden, a whitewashed wall with a moon gate and latticed leak-windows framing partial views of the garden beyond, weathered Taihu rocks with deep perforations standing beside still dark water, a zigzag covered walkway forcing the visitor to turn before each new view, black tiled roof edges, banana palm and pine, borrowed scenery of a distant pagoda appearing exactly within one window, soft humid overcast light, eye-level composition, 35mm lens, landscape photography, ultra photorealistic, 8K
