OTHER DIMENSIONS

There are more pictures of the light show on Henry Shaw's house (lots more) that I could edit. For the moment I'll move along. We can come back to the house projections if I need more material before the Fringe festival starts Tuesday night.

One of the features at Garden Party Lights was this series of lighted squares, each slightly rotated from the last to disorient your sense of space. They changed color but this was the sharpest shot I got. 

BTW, I just noticed that this is STL DPB 4,444th post. Is that of any significance?      

THIS OLD HOUSE

More magical projections on the front of the home of Henry Shaw, founder of the Missouri Botanical Garden. The top image has a near-photographic view east on Market Street from about 9th Street, although the Arch has been substantially repositioned for effect. Note also the violinists in the second floor windows of the second photo.            

HOUSE OF FLOWERS

The Missouri Botanical Garden has three or four of these evening light shows each year. They all feature changing, swirling projections on the wall of the home of Henry Shaw, the garden's founder. It's quite spectacular and I have no idea how it's done. I may post more of these with a group of pictures in a post.      

DRAGONFLY

A shot that almost didn't happen, and would not have but for the alert vision of Mrs. C. We had walked around the corner of the reflecting pool in yesterday's photo and sat on a bench. Dragonflies buzzed all over the water and she noticed one standing still on the low concrete wall. I had the same wide angle lens on my camera, hardly ideal for a close up, and leaned in as far as I could. What you see here is a tiny, tiny fraction of the original image. Cleaned up with de-noise software for sure, but it says something about the image quality of my camera, a Fujifilm X-T3, and lens, a FF 10-24 mm f4.          

EVENING IN THE GARDEN

One of our local treasures is the Missouri Botanical Garden, known locally as Shaw's Garden after its 19th Century founder, Henry Shaw. This is the central reflecting pool, much longer than it looks here through a wide angle lens. Yes, that's Chihuly glass. The garden had one of its nighttime light shows among the plants and buildings, more of which to come.            

               

MADELEINE MONDAY

 

Our delicate flower. Haven't had the kid on for a while. It's time. It is interesting to see how her personality is developing. The family was at the botanical garden Saturday evening for one of their periodic light shows among the plants and buildings. This one was called Garden Party Lights - lots of pix to come but I'm so far behind in my editing!

The picture was taken before dark while we were getting something to eat. Girls just wanna have fun.
