Valentine day awaits and I am going to hunt for some flowers.
I leave close to the sunset hour, because I had an idea for special Valentine's day photo and sunset colours should add extra drama to it ;)
After I did my project, which went quite well, I was going next to botanical garden and sunset colours really made it special.
Time to stop and capture this beautiful moment.
What's more if you look close, the scene is empty apart from one person spraying water on the stairs (most probably). If you are asking why, I have no idea :)
The University Botanical Garden in Sofia, Bulgaria, displays a huge variety of plants in a small area.
Jardí Botànic, Barcelona, España.
El Jardí Botànic de Barcelona es un Jardín botánico de 14 hectáreas de extensión. Dentro del Jardín se encuentra el Instituto Botánico de Barcelona (IBB-CSIC), un centro mixto perteneciente al CSIC y el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona.
Se inauguró el 18 de abril de 1999, en el solar de un antiguo vertedero de escombros en el Parque de Montjuic. El proyecto fue obra del Ayuntamiento de Barcelona. Es miembro de la Asociación Ibero-Macaronésica de Jardines Botánicos, y del BGCI, presentando trabajos para la Agenda Internacional para la Conservación en los Jardines Botánicos.
El código de identificación internacional del "Jardí Botànic de Barcelona" como miembro del "Botanic Gardens Conservation Internacional" (BGCI), así como las siglas de su herbario es BC.
Las colecciones están enfocadas en plantas de las regiones mediterráneas de todo el mundo, esta es una vegetación vinculada al clima mediterráneo que se caracteriza por un largo verano seco, de inviernos suaves y lluvias en la primavera y el otoño. Este clima sólo se encuentra sobre un 5% de la superficie de la tierra pero en 5 regiones del mundo en las cuales las plantas tuvieron una evolución adaptativa específica que con todo da paisajes bastante similares, por lo que las plantas se distribuyen agrupadas, según las cinco regiones mediterráneas del mundo.
Las sendas nos permiten acceder de zona en zona, comenzando por las Islas Canarias situadas a la entrada y subir al Mediterráneo occidental reconocible por el instituto botánico, que sobresale.
Del hemisferio Norte, la zona con una mayor representación es la Cuenca Mediterránea, siguiendo el camino de visita se accede hasta las costas de California de clima mediterráneo.
Después se encuentran las zonas mediterráneas del hemisferio Sur donde se visita la región mediterránea de Chile, el sur de África, y las dos regiones mediterráneas del sur de Australia (SE y S).
The Jardí Botànic de Barcelona is a 14-hectare botanical garden. Inside the Garden is the Botanical Institute of Barcelona (IBB-CSIC), a joint center belonging to the CSIC and Barcelona City Council.
It was inaugurated on April 18, 1999, on the site of an old rubble dump in Montjuic Park. The project was the work of the Barcelona City Council. He is a member of the Ibero-Macaronesian Association of Botanical Gardens, and of the BGCI, presenting papers for the International Agenda for Conservation in Botanical Gardens.
The international identification code of the "Jardí Botànic de Barcelona" as a member of the "Botanic Gardens Conservation International" (BGCI), as well as the initials of its herbarium is BC.
The collections are focused on plants from Mediterranean regions around the world, this is a vegetation linked to the Mediterranean climate that is characterized by a long dry summer, mild winters and rains in spring and autumn. This climate is only found on 5% of the earth's surface, but in 5 regions of the world in which the plants had a specific adaptive evolution that nevertheless gives quite similar landscapes, for which reason the plants are distributed grouped, according to the five Mediterranean regions of the world.
The paths allow us to access from zone to zone, starting with the Canary Islands located at the entrance and going up to the western Mediterranean recognizable by the botanical institute, which stands out.
From the Northern Hemisphere, the area with the greatest representation is the Mediterranean Basin. Following the visit path leads to the coast of California with a Mediterranean climate.
Then there are the Mediterranean areas of the Southern Hemisphere where you visit the Mediterranean region of Chile, southern Africa, and the two Mediterranean regions of southern Australia (SE and S).
The botanical garden is located at 4101 Sherbrooke Street East, at the corner of Pie-IX and Sherbrooke Streets, in Maisonneuve Park, facing Montreal's Olympic Stadium. It contains a greenhouse complex full of plants from around the world, and a number of large outdoor gardens, each with a specific theme. The outdoor gardens are bare and covered with snow from about November until about April, but the greenhouses are open to visitors year round, hosting the annual Butterflies Go Free exhibit from February to April.
The garden was founded in 1931, in the height of the Great Depression, by mayor Camillien Houde, after years of campaigning by Brother Marie-Victorin. The grounds were designed by Henry Teuscher, while the Art Deco style administration building was designed by architect Lucien F. Kéroack.
It serves to educate the public in general and students of horticulture in particular, as well as to conserve endangered plant species. The grounds are also home to a botanical research institution, to the Société d'astronomie de Montréal,and to the Montreal Insectarium; offsite, the Garden staff also administer the Ferme Angrignon educational farm and petting zoo.
While it charges admission, city residents can obtain a pass granting free admission to the outdoor gardens, so many people visit regularly, even if only to sit under the trees. The outdoor areas are also free to everyone between 6 pm and nightfall during the summer season (May to September). Many weddings are performed in the gardens every year.[citation needed] The nearest metro station is Pie-IX, which is located on the corner of the Olympic Stadium.

Credits are important to me as I don't make the stuff and Second Life would be very dull if it weren't for all the creators who do. The variety here is amazing. In a lot of ways, making a photograph here is like making a movie -- you need people who make stuff from trees to monsters to clothes to poses, people who create the sets, the actors (avators) and photographers. It is a wonderful collaboration between a lot of people that results in one photograph.... well, ok, a lot of photographs, lol.
