<p> Last weekend, I took a walk at the new Music Garden at Toronto

Harbor front, inspired by the Suites Unaccompanied Cello of J.S.Bach,

played by famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma.

<p> The center piece of this 2 acre Music Garden is a flower parterre

corresponding to Bach's Minuett.

<p> The high noon sun cast the shadow of the parterre on the ground

forming an interesting pattern, it catched my eyes instantly. I grabbed

my TLX and took a snap shot.

<p> The sun is Yang, creates the shadow (Yin ). And the shadow

itself

is a symbol of "sun" -- Yang.

<p> This symbolizes the mutual dependancy of Yin and Yang.

<p> The circular pattern and the radial pattern are full of rhymth,

like

Bach.

<p> The small section of curve at the upper right corner is left

intentionally to show that the 'sun- symbol' is a big circle--

' show a leaf to indicate Autumn'.

<p>The mind sees a bigger picture by filling in the big circle; if the small arc is cropped off, the image

becomes much smaller.
