Zen

Kyoto, where most of the Zen happened. Some moss is very important. If you can't quite read it, that's what the sign says: 'Very Important Moss (Like VIP)'. Out of shot, to the left, some less important moss, some of it referred to as 'The Interrupter'.

Good raking.

Before you enter, you must be calm.

While you're there, you should become calmer.

Some more great raking & an excellent example of 'borrowed scenery'. (For those not in the know, 'borrowed scenery' is the Zen effect created when you can see some natural beauty beyond the confines of your Zen garden.)

Never before had I witnessed such a feat of raking.

The Zen mound in context. (Note the 'borrowed scenery'.)

Strictly speaking this might not be Zen at all, but it feels right.

Last but not least, may I present the most Zen of fish: the carp.
