Night Light

Night reflections
It's the annual Celebration in the Oaks -- a magical lighting and musical celebration at City Park. This year has a special twist -- it's the new replantings in the Botanical Gardens (replanted after the damages from Hurricane Katrina) that makes it special. Here the Conservatory of the Two Sisters with its spectacular Glass Dome frames the popular Poinsettia Tree exhibit -- the reflecting pool adds an accent in the foreground.

Lagniappe (a little something extra)


They do what others do -- they shoot the photo to remember. They don't just shoot what's there. It's what's not there that makes the photo memorable... that's wha they come not to see.

Today on Pixel Eyed.

Beautiful photograph. The conservatory and dome detail really illuminates and frames the poinsettia tree. The reflections in the pool enhance the lighting too.

Féérique photo !
By the way
I plan to change my URL for the blog Brienne la Vieille previously
http://brienne-la-vieille-dailyphoto.over-blog.com and move it to blogspot which has more possibilities I think.
For several weeks I'll send posts on the two blogs.
The new one was launched this morning with
http:brienne-aube.blogspot.com

Thanks for taking note of this modification.
