Since it has been raining heavily and non-stop in Seattle lately, I am regularly reminded of the day we walked around Vancouver's Chinatown. We were pulling our luggage and carrying our cameras, in the rain! but determined to shoot the neighborhood. In the distance we saw just a sliver of the Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden and set out for it, not knowing what it was but hoping to find something photogenic and maybe a roof to get under.
Instant karma: the beautiful autumn colors and well maintained, traditional elements made for magical photos. It was well worth our effort, including unbearably chilly hands, against our gear for so long in the cold rain. Next time we are in town, I want a longer visit to see the whole garden, but just not in the cold rain!

Probably intentional but the garden shines - even in the rain
Great shots of autumn MPG!...love them...the colours are spectacular.
Gorgeous!!! I love Chinese Gardens, even more so than Japanese Gardens ... Both are sometimes better in the rain. These shots are beautiful and certainly worth cold fingers. :-)
Your photographs of a typical Vancouver rainy day are really beautiful! I often go to the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Garden to take pictures and enjoy the atmosphere. I haven't gone in the rain yet, but you totally inspired me to do so.
Beautiful pictures...!!!
I don't know, the rain complemented the garden beautifully... Wonderful shots, thanks for sharing!
