Japanese Garden, Central California, USA

          We attended a wedding yesterday at Micke Grove Regional Park between Lodi and Stockton California USA.  Within the park, where the wedding was conducted, is a Japanese Garden.  There are many such gardens in California as many Japanese immigrated to the United States, especially prior to World War Two. These folks were farmers and many owned substantial land in the Sacramento Valley. It was these Americans who were sent to internment camps during the war.  The gardens are a legacy and reminder of their history.
          Before the wedding we took a stroll along the paths and around the ponds. This photo was taken with my smart phone deep in the wooded area. We came up to this space with its lantern and summer lighting. One can see that these spots are very important in highly populated areas.
