Kebun Raya Bogor, Indonesia
(Bogor Botanical Gardens, Indonesia).
The area that is now Bogor Botanical Gardens was part of the samida (man made forest) that was established at least around the era when Sri Baduga Maharaja (Prabu Siliwangi, 1474-1513) rules the Sunda Kingdom, as written in the Batutulis inscription. This forest was created to protect seeds of rare woods. Another similar samida was established near the current border between Bogor and Cianjur, called Ciung Wanara Forest. This forest was neglected after the Sunda Kingdom was defeated by the Banten Sultanate. The 85 hectares gardens officially opened in 1817 as 's Lands Plantentuin ('National Botanical Garden'), the idea of which was introduced by German-born Dutch biologist and botanist Professor Caspar Georg Carl Reinwardt. They were used to research and develop plants and seeds from other parts of Indonesia for cultivation during the 19th century. This is a tradition that continues today and contributes to the garden's reputation as a center of botanical research.

Callosciurus notatus is a species of rodents in the Sciuridae family found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand in a wide range of habitats: forests, mangroves, parks, gardens, and agricultural areas. Fruit farmers consider them to be pests.
Its body is about 20–30 cm long with a similar-sized tail. It is greyish/brown with a chestnut belly and a black and white stripe between the two. The genus name Callosciurus means beautiful squirrels.
Its diet consists mostly of leaves and fruits, but it also eats insects and bird eggs. It is known to break open twigs that contain ant larvae to eat them.[3] It can eat fruits much bigger than itself, such as mangoes, jackfruit, or coconuts. It is very quick and agile in trees, able to jump a few metres between trees, and rarely wanders on the ground.
The Alpinia Botanical Garden is situated in Alpino, at 800 meters high over Stresa, it has a overlooking on Lake Maggiore, Piemonte. Italy.

On a hot, humid Saturday morning in July, I ventured into Atlanta to see this special exhibition at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. This facility has been undergoing a major renovation/upgrade with a magnificent new visitors center, and is now one of the best botanical gardens anywhere.
If you click on the set to the right and run the SLIDESHOW in Full Screen Mode, you can follow me on a tour around the garden.
Here are some quotes from the website and a link:
"Henry Moore is widely acclaimed as the most important sculptor of the 20th century. This year, the Garden launches a new era with the show TIME magazine called one of the Top 10 Museum Exhibitions of 2008: Moore in America. This is the final destination of the tour, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see 20 of Henry Moore’s monumental sculptures in a single exhibition.
Henry Spencer Moore (July 3, 1898 - August 31, 1986), born in the coal-mining town of Castleford, Yorkshire, in England, is one of the world's most known and beloved 20th-century sculptors.
Moore began studying sculpture as an art student in 1919. His first solo show of sculpture was held in London in 1928. The following year Moore and his wife, Irina, moved to Hampstead, London, a center for artists and writers, where Moore made his living teaching sculpture and exhibiting his work. He would carve in the open air at his cottage in Kent.
In 1940 the couple moved to Perry Green in the Hertfordshire countryside. There, Moore would live and work for the remainder of his life, drawing inspiration from the surrounding landscape and collecting objects in nature that would provide ideas for his sculpture.
Moore in America at the Atlanta Botanical Garden is the largest outdoor exhibition of Henry Moore's sculpture ever presented in a single venue in the United States. The 20 colossal works are displayed throughout the Garden and among its gardens and plant collections, providing for an impressive interaction of nature and art such as Moore envisioned. The Henry Moore Foundation, which is dedicated to furthering the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of Moore's work, co-curated the exhibition, which is underwritten by MetLife Foundation.
One of the finest botanical gardens in the world and the most treasured and beloved landscapes in Atlanta, the Garden offers alluring outdoor venues for such an exhibition. When Moore's grand sculptures are set in the intimate scale of the Garden's landscape, both are transformed."

St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.

The Missouri Botanical Garden is a botanical garden located at 4344 Shaw Boulevard in St. Louis, Missouri. It is also known informally as Shaw's Garden for founder and philanthropist Henry Shaw. Its herbarium, with more than 6.6 million specimens, is the second largest in North America, behind only that of the New York Botanical Garden.
Taken with Ansco 5x7 with Rodenstock Imagon and Efke 25 film. Developed in Rodinal 1+50 for 7 minutes (drum). No post-processing except to clean up a lot of unknown gunk from development (bad fixer, or perhaps the fact I had the film sitting in a holder for several weeks until finally getting around to processing it...)
This lens is turning out to be a real winner. I'm currently testing it for coverage on the 8x10.
