  Where in the World is my Zen Garden?

A few years ago, some friends gave me a travelling Zen garden, a little rectangular tray with a rake, some pebbles, some sand and an instruction book, from which, “removing the little tray, a little plastic bag with sand and stones and a miniature wooden rake from a cardboard box can be the beginning of a lifelong adventure of seeing things in a new way…”  You'll notice that the card tray eventually wore out and has been superseded by a wooden one, but the project continues...

This website contains pictures from the start of that adventure.

Extending the idea a little, I’ve taken pictures of the Zen garden in various secret locations, incorporating objects found at each site. Taken together the garden, the title and the background give clues to the location, and all you have to do is guess the location. There’s no prize, but I will put the closest guess up on the Website’s Hall of Fame
