Green, green, greens at Getty's

The Getty's central garden is a work of art itself. It calms the soul and refreshes the senses. "All of the foliage and materials of the garden have been selected to accentuate the interplay of light, color, and reflection." (See http://www.getty.edu/visit/see_do/gardens.html)

Amazing maze of floating azalea hedges with our jeepney. My photo is so badly composed that it does not do justice to this beautiful garden.
Wispy deer grass
The Amphora Fountain. I was strangely attracted and fascinated by this structure. The different shades of green created by the moss and the indentation  has the effect of making it a unique work of art. 
The breeze that gently sway the leaves complements the shimmering waters in the fountain/pool.

My interpretation of the interplay of light, color and reflection.
