The Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden or Jardim Botânico is located at the Jardim Botânico district in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro.
The Botanical Garden shows the diversity of Brazilian and foreign flora. There are around 6,500 species (some endangered) distributed throughout an area of 54 hectares (130 acres) as well as numerous greenhouses. The garden also houses monuments of historical, artistic, and archaeological significance. There is an important research center, which includes the most complete library in the country specializing in botany with over 32,000 volumes.
It was founded in 1808 by King John VI of Portugal. Originally intended for the acclimatization of spices like nutmeg, pepper and cinnamon imported from the West Indies, the garden was opened to the public in 1822, and is now open during daylight hours every day except 25 December and 1 January.
The 140 hectares (350 acres) park lies at the foot of the Corcovado Mountain, far below the right arm of the statue of Christ the Redeemer and contains more than 6,000 different species of tropical and subtropical plants and trees, including 900 varieties of palm trees. A 750 metres (2,460 ft) line of 134 palms forms the Avenue of Royal Palms leading from the entrance into the gardens. These palms all descended from a single tree, the Palma Mater, long since destroyed by lightning. Only about 40% of the park is cultivated, the remainder being Atlantic Forest rising up the slopes of Corcovado. The park is protected by the Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional and was designated as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1992.
The Botanical Garden has an important research institute, which develops a wide range of botanical studies in Brazil. The institute has taxonomists who specialize in the identification and conservation of the neotropical flora.
The gardens house collections that include bromeliads, orchids, carnivorous plants, and cacti. These include Brazil’s largest botanical library and collections of dried fruits, rare Brazilian plants, and many photographs. The painted cast-iron Fountain of the Muses was made in Derby, UK, and until 1895 was sited at Henrique Lage's villa at Largo da Lapa, as part of the landscaping by the English painter John Tydall.
The park contains 140 species of birds, many of which have become accustomed to humans and are consequently much easier to observe than in the wild. These include the channel-billed toucan, rusty-margined guan, slaty-breasted wood rail and the endangered endemic white-necked hawk. Capuchin monkeys and tufted-eared marmosets are also frequently seen in the Botanical Gardens.
Features of interest include an old gunpowder factory, the Victoria lilies in the Lago Frei Leandro pond, the Japanese Garden, and many sculptures and fountains.

This grand structure was erected in downtown Springfield in 1816. It was constructed by Thomas H. Letcher and designed by architect Frank Brewer. In 1840, 1918, and 1938, additions were made to its perimeter.
It was once the oldest acting county courthouse in Kentucky before it was replaced by a newer judicial center built across the street in 2008. The structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Additionally, it is a contributing property to the Springfield Main Street Historic District, listed in 1989.

I'm not too sure what this was. There was no way to get up it so it's not a tower and it's not connected to a house or anything at all actually. It's just a random structure in a fenced off piece of land.
The sun was low in the sky as I arrived at Seogwipo Harbor. I parked my car and and made my way over to Saeyeon Bridge, a massive structure that towers over the harbor's boats and administrative buildings. The bridge, opened in 2009, connects the harbor to beautiful Saesom (Bird) Island. Incredible golden light swept over me as I I took a leisurely stroll to the middle of the bridge. My goal for the day was to photograph this fine piece of architecture in the evening. I still had about 90 minutes to to go before dark so I leaned over the railing and watched as the sun set...
As the last remnants of light disappeared over the horizon and the bridge's lights began to turn on, I went down the stairs that twist their way to the ground below. I had walked around the bridge a few days before so I knew exactly what I wanted to photograph.
I started with the staircase I had just descended. Looking up, the staircase made a wonderful spiral pattern to the top of the bridge. I moved on to the underside of the bridge and took several pictures of the impressive length of steel, thick wires, and lights that stretched across the water, a beautiful display of vertical and horizontal lines.
Satisfied that I had captured a wider view of the bridge, I began to focus on little details: The cube shaped center housing another spiral staircase, the gears and levers above it, and the vertical beams of metal that encased everything.
Two hours later I headed back to my car with one more objective in mind. I drove to the other side of the harbor where I could see the bridge in its entirety. A rainbow of colored lights pulsed up and down the center of the structure and the moon had come out and sat lazily above it. I took my final photo of the day, possibly my best, before putting down my camera and just enjoying the view. What a sight!
