Gumbo's Pic of the Day, January 24, 2015: The Secret Garden

YvonnesGarden

 

Many cities have private gardens tucked away from prying eyes, although in a big city anywhere they’re an enormous luxury.  London seems to be particularly adept at hiding some pretty large outdoor spaces, just as the country as a whole has a talent for gardens in general.  My Scottish mother-in-law was a prime example, hewing fabulous borders out of the Quebec tundra after the family moved from Edinburgh.  Back to London, this park-like expanse is private, owned by the residents of the surrounding buildings, such as the one where I’m standing to take the picture, a friend’s apartment on Sutherland Avenue, in the Maida Vale section of London.  One can neither see, nor enter, the large space except through the buildings and I found it quite remarkable, a true secret garden.
