“A Small Photographic Moment”
The boxwood hedges, the bamboo grove, and the canopies of the tall trees have accustomed our eyes, with the slow pace of our walk, to a subdued and gentle luminosity, a half-light we can "lean on" without straining our vision.
Emotions often reveal themselves through contrasts. From this viewpoint, after the shadows, the sudden and vibrant light is almost blinding. Once our eyes readjust, they settle in the distance on the neo-Gothic façade of the Castle, resembling a theatrical backdrop framed by holly bushes.
As in painting, the sense of depth in the garden is created by colours; "dark in the foreground, light in the background," wrote Ercole Silva in The Art of English Gardens in 1813. On clear days, the triangular silhouette of Monviso, which some say resembles the Paramount logo, appears between the pinnacles, aligning along the axis that runs through the great lawn from north to south.
We suggest you take photograph. The etymology of this word captures the spirit of this scene, photo, light, and handwriting.
