This front yard features a seating area and jar fountain, ringed by aromatic native plantings of California Lilac, Manzanita, Cleveland Sage. A meadow-style planting of native sedge grasses create soft look in the foreground, and new concrete pavers add a modern touch.

This is the entry that the world sees in books from the Gamble House, Pasadena, by Greene and Greene, in 1908. It's Beautiful. It's Stunning. and when you get there, you can't believe how really dark it is. The photograph is a tour-de-force of technical prowess and lighting. I have to tell you that I've shot a LOT of houses and buildings, and this little entry took more light than I've ever used in any other photograph I've made in my life. That wood just eats up the light... If I remember right, it took 80,000 -100,000 watts of light to get what I needed in this image. By Paul Kiler 2004 http://www.gamblehouse.org/
