With an hour to spare before heading out to the airport yesterday we stopped in at Kings Park.. I wanted to try again to get some shots of the new sculpture leading into the Botanical Gardens. The last time I tried the overcast weather didn't do it full justice.. I'm not altogether sure the midday sun has done any better :) In reality it is fantastic, with touches here and there of inlaid multi-coloured glass, below. I can't swear to it but I think artists Anne Neil and Steve Tepper are the creators of this botanical archway.
A tour group below heading into the fabulousness that is the botanical gardens of Kings Park, the gardeners do a brilliant job of displaying and tending plants from all over the world.. come on now, wouldn't you like to join that group :) Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe...
wonderful Pictures.

The park looks like a nice place to visit. The sculpture adds to its beauty. Nice photos Grace!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous place for photos! I bet there are a few couples that might take wedding photos here as well?
ReplyDeleteExperiment, experiment, experiment!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was joining them on that nice warm walk!
ReplyDeleteI love botanical gardens anywhere!
ReplyDeleteYou must surely know that this is a place I would LOVE to visit. That sculpture is simply amazing. It fits the surroundings just beautifully.
ReplyDeleteAmazing work!
ReplyDeleteThat is so unusual and so creative and so striking! I think it would only be possible to do things like that botanically. I tried it anatomically and haven't been able to get up for an hour! Nah, just kidding. Nice shooting, Grace!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful piece of sculpture. I did wonder if it changes with the heat of the day?
ReplyDeleteDifficult to enhance nature but they did it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place.
ReplyDeleteIf you want your perfect photos you'll need to do like Ansel Adams; visit the place often and spend hours watching at different times of the day waiting for the perfect lighting.
A great area to be in with all the art and the plants.
ReplyDeleteKings Park is one of the best botanical gardens and so well located too with great views over the city of Perth!!
