Very beautiful photos! The Palace of Fine Arts building is so handsome and regal, and your photo shows it at its most magnificent! The Hong Kong picture is really evocative. I only ever picture Hong Kong being very urban and crowded, but that is a beautiful scene of tranquil solitude.
Ratty, thanks, I like unique so I'm always trying to get different angles.
Thanks Eileen and to you as well.
Laloofah, Hong Kong has some of the most beautiful island in the world. Lantau island, where that shot was taken is the most peaceful and serene place I've ever seen. I hope you are able to travel there someday.
I never knew that! Thank you for teaching me something new today! Now I also hope I'll be able to travel there someday, peaceful and serene places are my favorite kinds (and in increasingly short supply). Thanks to you, my "Travel Bucket List" just grew a destination longer. :-)
Old Chinese proverb - If you want to be happy all your life, plant a garden. Photos Taken @ The SF Botanical Gardens Click Photos To Enlarge I won't be posting much on this blog if at all in the next couple of weeks so I wanted to leave you with some garden photos. Enjoy!
All of these photos were taken by me on Monday during my visit to the Botanical Gardens. I planned on this just being a Wordless Wednesday post with photos until I visited the Gardens website and found that due to budget cuts etc... the gardens will fall to demise unless they begin charging an entrance fee. There have been mumblings and rumors about this over the past year with a lively debate. Now you all know that I am there on a regular basis. If it has to permanently close I WILL NOT be a happy camper. The gardens have always been free unlike all the other venues in that area to include the DeYoung Museum, The Academy of Sciences of which you almost have to be a millionaire to afford their entrance fees, The Japanese Tea Garden and the Conservatory of Flowers. My position is that the Botanical Gardens should begin implementing fees. Why not? Everyone else charges fees to maintain their venues. If you buy a membership to the gardens which is as low as $60.00 per year, round...
