it has been a while since I visited this forum, Sweden has been plagued with the worst winter for 30 years. But now its finally starting to get warm.
I made a post about my newly aquired yukimigata lantern on the gardenwebs forum... but it seems to lack somewhat in activity, so I figured, why not post it here too!!
I'm not sure whats the problem with the pics, sometimes they are replaced with a logo, but the "real" pic can be found at the source of the link.Today I made a bargain. I knew before that I wanted one lantern in my garden. It is not very big so I felt that one was proper. And since I have a pond and I like the yuki mi gata lantern, I decided to purchase it. And today I finally made the deal, at a price of 950 SEK (about 126 USD). It is made in china and the material is granite.
Anyway, please look at the pictures below, this setup took me about 10 minutes, I just wanted to get it placed "in" the pond... and then study the site and perhaps find a more suitable place.

What do you think? I think this lantern is a very powerful item to place, it has lots of character, and I feel it is somewhat out of balance. Perhaps a shrub or something close to it would help. I think that something is definetly missing, perhaps the position is incorrect or the pantern need to be balance by perhaps a shrub behind it? What do you think?
