Di long front of di palace and im green roofs hold di upper part of di picture. Di two sides balance well, but small differences give di view im texture. Sunlight touch some parts of di stonework; other surfaces dey for shade. Narrow streams of water split across di cascade, and di few visitors near di palace help show how big di building and terraces be. Di picture follow di garden levels as dem rise towards di palace.
