ABC Wednesday: A is for amphitheater

It is said that Morcom Rose Garden is on the site of an old quarry.  There is a small amphitheater in the rose garden that is popular for weddings.  During the week nearby office workers come here to eat lunch.  There's a stepped brook that falls from the top to a pool below.  Community volunteers come weekly to prune the roses and maintain the garden.  For more takes on "A", visit ABC Wednesday.

  8. Very good photos, especially the first two.

    P. S. I hope you've enjoyed in Skopje and you'll come again :) Maybe you'll visit some other cities and see more beauties in my country.

  9. What a delightful little theatre. We went to the Hollywood Bowl years ago.

    What a nice place to have lunch, whether a worker or not.

  11. That's really beautiful; I've never heard of it before. That's what's so fun about visiting your blog! You captured it perfectly! (By the way, Anacortes is sort of my second hometown; that's why I go there often).

  14. As everyone has said, this is a lovely stepping brook, especially with all those pretty pink roses.

    [I thought this site was quite good in explaining how to test if it's real amber.]
