Botanic Gardens, Rockhampton, Queensland. Thought this would be an interesting place for a HDR. Had a few attempts at processing the image, i think this one ended up the best.
Kebun Raya Bogor, Indonesia
(Bogor Botanical Gardens, Indonesia).
The picture is the newest grave with the headstone epitaph of Dr. André Joseph Guillaume Henri Kostermans (A.J.G.H. Kostermans; A.J.G.H. designates, Ahmad Jahja Go Hartono, a combination of names of his close friends and students after he embraced Islam), a prolific Dutch botanist who became an Indonesian citizen. He died on 10 July 1994 at the age of 88 years old; and was honored and laid to rest in the Gardens among the trees which he loved in his lifetime devotion. The genus Kostermansia, and over 50 species were named in his honor. The abbreviation, Kosterm. is used in botanical literature referring to his name. He also fostered not less than 98 adopted children. Five of them have become university professors and 38 have achieved doctorate degrees in various fields of science.
"According to the storyboard, there are 42 graves in the quaint little graveyard of which only 38 having the identities of the dead persons. Most of them were the relatives of the Dutch colonial governor generals at the time. Two young biologists, Heinrich Kuhl and J.C. Van Hasselt were buried in a single grave. Both died shortly after their short trip to Java."
Old Dutch graveyard. The old cemetery was here long before the Gardens was established by Reinwardt in 1817. The oldest grave at the location is that of Cornelius Potmans, a Dutch chemist administrator who died in 1784.
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.

Day Four in Prague ... the New Town.

Another quick stop at my local botanical garden - it changes daily. It's hard to choose one to post....so I picked several.

'Bear', 2005
Botanical Gardens
welded and rusted mild steel
Location:
In the Bear Pit, Botanical Gardens.
Description:
A lifesize standing bear, c. 2m high, with front paws dangling at its side. The metal has been deliberately allowed to rust so that the figure is realistically brown.
At the feet of the bear are four lines from one of the riddles that tempt visitors to the Gardens to explore various features and views within them. The riddles were written by local author and poet, Berlie Doherty, and have been incorporated into a number of artworks within the Botanical Gardens. Lettering by Matt Fairley, who also installed the piece with the artist.
Commission:
The sculpture was commissioned by Sheffield City Council for the Riddle Trail project initiated by the city's Off the Shelf Festival of Writing and Reading in 1999 in collaboration with Sheffield Botanical Gardens. A partnership composed of the Friends of the Botanical Gardens, Sheffield Town Trust, Sheffield City Council and the University of Sheffield has been responsible for the restoration of the gardens since 1997.
The Bear was installed on 3 March 2005.
Comment:
The bear pit was the home of two captive bears in 1850's.
The original concept was for this bear to be reaching upwards, but this had to be changed for Safety considerations; the figure was considered to be too close to viewers looking into the pit and might invite spectators to try to climb onto it.

Bear Pit
The Bear Pit is the finest surviving example in the UK.
The superb condition of the structure is due to the many years it was used as Yorkshire’s biggest compost pit.
This is a Grade II listed structure and was built in 1836 to home a black bear.
Local legend relates that a child was killed after falling into the pit around 1870.
