    Very beautiful Eugene Atget images - I missed the Modern Photography program it must have been past my bedtime.
    Here's my humble topiary offering - some images I took about 10 years ago of Daichi-ji.

    I thought I might offer this image as a very distant southern hemisphere echo of the topiary cones in the first Atget photo.
