I recently visited the Botanical Gardens and stayed at night to see the show entitled "The Magic Of Lanterns". It was very beautiful and I hope these pictures do it justice.
An added bonus was the full moon which, positioned beside the Olympic Stadium tower, added to the magic. I was trying to get the reflections of the tower, moon and lanterns in the still waters when a duck very noisily landed with a loud splash and sent the water rippling in all directions. Talk about a grand entrance for an audience!

Good night photography.
ReplyDeleteTerrific photos of what looked to be a most enjoyable event! Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteThanks to you both for your comments. It really was a nice time and prior to the lantern show, I saw many beautiful flowers and critters (dragonflies and such). If you care to see them you can check out http://doris-potter.artistwebsites.com/index.html
ReplyDeleteWow! How colourful... sounds like you had a grand time.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Doris. BTW, in your profile photo, is that your dog? He/she is very cute. What kind, what name? I miss my dogs a lot---one of the downnsides of divorce.
ReplyDeleteHi Didee - yes it WAS a grand time!
ReplyDeleteHi Steve: the dog actually belongs to a family running an Inn where I stayed last fall with my sister. His name is Lucky and he is a sweetheart! Not sure of his heritage but I would say German Shepherd is in there for sure. Sorry about your dogs - it must be very hard for you.
