A white stone archway with fluted columns and carved panels, covered in moss and ivy, opens onto a mysterious garden of clipped hedges and stone steps. The two framed window panels and the carved crest above the arch work as the finder squares, while clumps of dark moss and trailing ivy form the dark modules across the opening. Pale marble and a bright misty sky behind give the moss strong contrast, and the detail is spread evenly across the frame. A flagstone path and a few purple lavender sprigs lead the eye in from the foreground.
