Ancient Egyptian Gardens - Hamilton Gardens

While exploring the stunning Hamilton Gardens in New Zealand, I had the opportunity to capture a photograph of the Ancient Egyptian Garden, a place that transports visitors back 4000 years to the era of pyramids and pharaohs. This extraordinary garden is a re-creation of a Middle Kingdom temple garden, the first of its kind since these sacred spaces vanished beneath the desert sands. Within its walls, hieroglyphics tell stories of kings and gods, while sacred plants thrive in the shade of a pergola. This image captures the essence of this timeless space, where history, symbolism, and nature intertwine.
