Autumn Reminiscence - In A Foreign Country?


No Spring nor Summer hath such grace
As I have seen in one autumnal face
                                            John Donne



I've mentioned in my earlier post that the "Autumn Reminiscence" Series will be a 7-part posts but I just cannot resist putting up one more post.
 
 
 
 
 
This is Huis Ten Bosch. It is a them park and a residential-style resort built after a 17th century Dutch town.

It makes sense to have a place that somehow paid homage to the European country and architecture seeing that Nagasaki; where this park/resort is located - was the only port open for international trade and thus begin an extremely prosperous relationship between Japan and Holland.

While you are visiting, do read the previous Autumn Reminiscence posts that was put up earlier.
Autumn Reminiscence - Lake Kinrinko
Autumn Reminiscence - Shikoku Mura
Autumn Reminiscence - Nara
Autumn Reminiscence - Ritsurin Koen
Autumn Reminiscence - Ueno Park
Autumn Reminiscence - Yanaka Cemetery
Autumn Reminiscence - Yokohama

And now, time to move on to a new season!

Before that, enjoy this haiku from a fellow blogger, HappySurfer -
Colors of autumn
Artist's delight on canvas
Forever preserved
