Villa Lante, Italy. The garden, apart from its extraordinary beauty, carries a huge symbolic meaning. It is designed so that the water moves independently from the Potok fountain, "the source of life", to the Kvadrat fountain, "the sea of death", in which in the center of each pond there is a boat with a carrier waiting for passengers crossing the River Styx to the dark kingdom of Hades.

Francisco Alvarado Park, Zarcero, Costa Rica. This garden consists entirely of bushes and trees cut in the shape of various animals, including some that are very abstract and strange. The trees are trimmed so bizarrely that it gives the impression of unreality of the surrounding world.

We've looked at the main Venetian masks, now let's explore their history a bit. The history of Venetian masks was not originally connected with carnival. While the first street celebrations are attested from as early as 1000, the use of masks dates only from 1200, and only in 1400 a class of craftsmen for making Venetian masks, the so-called "mascareri", was born.

Zen Garden at Ryoanji Temple, Japan. On a small rectangular area there are 15 black rough stones. No matter from which point a visitor to the garden views this composition, he sees only 14 stones. All the stones can be seen only by floating in the air above the garden, or “reaching enlightenment”.
