This photo is of the Lookout at Kubota Garden in Seattle, Washington. It was taken on July 7, 2007. Kubota Garden is a public garden that is now owned by the City of Seattle and maintained by the Department of Parks & Recreation. It was originally created and maintained for many years by Fujitaro Kubota.

This is a nice viewing/resting area atop the man-made mountain. It's above the waterfall area and is provides nice, cool shade on a hot day. Benches provide a nice respite after walking up the Mountainside.

According to their brochure, the Lookout "offers a wooden umbrella and a grand view of the garden 65 feet below."
