I've been compiling a list of the most beautiful places in Santa Clara County - I'm picking places that are buildings or formal/manicured gardens, not natural beauty (though there's certainly a lot of that around here; I just want the list to be manageable). I'm also not including restaurants or shops.
And yesterday, I got the opportunity to visit three of the places on my list.
The San Jose Municipal Rose Garden, the Center for Spiritual Enlightenment, and Mission Santa Clara. While I did visit them on crutches (and thus I could not walk the labyrinth at the CSE) I got a lot of photos...
Click on any one of these to get a closer look!
