There is a lovely Japanese garden inside Jackson Park on the south side of Chicago. It’s a stone’s throw away from Lake Michigan and the Chicago Museum of Industry and Science. Peace and serenity abound, as one would expect of a Japanese garden.
This is a digital sketch of the lovely bridge that is the centerpiece of the garden. This garden itself sits on the site of the original Japanese garden that was build as part of the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893. Vandals destroyed that garden at the start of WWII. Fortunately, the city constructed this new garden after the war.
It was autumn when I took the original photograph, hence the yellow tree on the other side of the bridge. If you want some peace in quiet and you are in Chicago, now you know where to go.
