Bamboo Forest in Hakone Gardens

This picture is #4 in my 100/365 project.

One of the secret beautiful places hidden in the heart of Silicon Valley are Hakone Japanese Gardens near Saragota Springs. I will no doubt go back there again with my camera, but my biggest impression on my first visit was a bamboo forest I saw for the first time in my life. Geometric shapes and how close these trees were growing next to each other was a contrast that I thought was pleasing to the eye.
