I spotted this pavilion across the Denver Botonic pond a few shots back and boy, I am ready for a break about now after relentless shooting and my two recent rounds of editing my finds. This looks like a shady and quiet place to sit and rest in the madhouse of activity. That vine will really darken the pavilion when it fully covers the trellis.
There's not a breath of wind here either, even at at 1/25 second. This could be a hanging vine from the Hanging Gardens of Babylon although they were in Nineveh and never in Babylon. What other old Mesopotamian stories did the Bible completely butcher? All of them? Nineveh was largely destroyed by IS and of course, Boy George Bush. Ahh, what's another war or two? It's only paid by the poor and remaining middle class in America and dodged by the well-heeled. Great religions spark greatest of wars, sometimes cults in only one religion will do just fine to spark great wars. Ahh, the environment is rendering little room for wars over fossil fuels.
This is yet another view at the Denver Botanic Gardens I liked. I end up with all the off-shoots. Plantings are everywhere at the Denver Bionic Gardens. I may yet have some images of flowers I shot at the gardens.
After following some of the paths that are scattered about the Denver Botanic Gardens, I found a cool spot with a load of water, a good thing on the Colorado plains. It's clear that the pool furnished is good for water gardens. They especially like water plantings at the Denver Botanical Gardens. It looks like I am getting closer to botanical, and fish, shots like this as I work. Egad, I have a real load of garden shots to edit with over 200 snaps in the directory, let alone for everything else in my massive stash.
This snap is yet another from a recent eDDie trek, this time down to the Denver Botanic Gardens. I have passed untold times but never invested my time or ponied up the entrance fee. This path shouts that upkeep here is far from free, but eDDie bought a season pass so I did another round of sponge bobbing at the right price. Boy, this place is loaded with distractions that were made for me! ...and, did I get distracted. Art in the park indeed. Look everywhere to find art; he was missing earlier.
Since the Denver Botonic Gardens trek, I have made more treks and another with eDDie to the Rockies. At least I was able to snag a load of shots on that mellow day. I filled my film card for the first time ever. OK, I was tapped by the time it was filled anyway.
Trellis system supporting raspberry plants. Note the irrigation pipes. Picture was taken after harvest.
I had fun making this one, but I have come to realize, my ZT are flat without shading and I have no clue how to do it where it doesn't look cluttered. I have also realized that I am not a black and white Zentangler, I love color in it too much. While I still occasionally do B&W I notice more color.
Don't you just hate it when you come home and after uploading to the big screen find a nice composition where the shutter speed was just too slow for sharpness? Hopefully I'll be back there some day when the sun is just right.
Gustave Courbet
French, 1817-1877
Oil on canvas
Detroit Institute of Arts
Summer flowers are the heart of this painting. Full-blown, they surge across the surface, engulfing the young woman whose dress is even printed with miniature flowers.
Gustave Courbet, famous at the time for his confrontational images of peasant life and dramatic landscapes, led a personal campaign to reform art. He declared that artists must represent, not imitate the past.
This painting of a woman arranging cut flowers on an outdoor trellis reflects Courbet's Realist manifesto: it presents the young woman not as a classical nymph or allegorical figure, but as a pretty model in contemporary dress. It also elevated flower painting, (traditionally considered low in the hierarchy of artistic genres) to a grand scale, the blooms dominating the composition.
