True, that!

I remember for instance moss gardens around temples, moss!

Note my reply to Toonsarah about contemplative composition.

I understand and agree. I kept my actual shots to “quick snaps”, but in the spirit of the garden’s contemplative purpose, I did contemplate my compositions in my mind and finished any crops in post.
It was actually a nice exercise in composition in my mind rather than in the viewfinder.

I’m a little surprised at the stringency of the photo restrictions. No tripods makes perfect sense as you can easily imagine that people would damage plants and other features with them. But no posing of friends in front of the views? Not that I would, as I don’t tend to take that sort of shot, but I can’t see the harm it would do. And who is to say where the line should be drawn between ‘a quick snap’ and a more considered composition?
