Poetic Shutterbug

Adjacent to Stow Lake and the Chinese Pavilion in Golden Gate Park is a waterfall which attracts many visitors. It resides amongst the trees and foliage on the side of a hill surrounded by rocks and stones which you can see in these photos. I've seen it many times but what struck me the other day was the white foam which in person looks like white lava. It had a very surreal look so I had to get some shots of the water. I wanted to take some video but my batteries were dying. I had already taken over three hundred photos that day. I know, I'm a snap happy shutterbug :) Click here for more Watery Wednesday Photos.

All of these photos were taken at the courtyard surrounding the Radisson Hotel in Culver City. As I mentioned in my previous post we did not have any time to do sightseeing however we didn't have to as there were many interesting photo opportunities around the hotel grounds. The above photo displays a small water/rock fountain amongst the lush fern and palms adorning the water pond. This was a beautiful and somewhat exotic setting. Walking past this scene you come to the fitness center and the hotel pool. I love fern and palm trees so this was a nice and peaceful spot. I felt as if I were in Hawaii surrounded by all this beauty.
