Botanic Gardens, Gardens in Focus

The winning images from the Gardens in Focus photographic competition in 2010 have been placed on banners and are currently displayed in the Royal Botanic Gardens. This banner is located close to the "Boy Extracting Thorn" sculpture. The competition features photographs that capture the living essence of a botanic garden. Parts of the botanic gardens remain quite green, even in the middle of Autumn. I featured another banner on display near the Main Pond here.

    I like that. Want to get out this weekend and start my treck around the Head on Exhibitions. Going to need a few days to see everything that I want to see.

    Great idea to highlight the winning entries, Jim. However, it also alerts the viewers to the hidden beauty fo the gardens that is visible when one observes closely.

    What a clever and nice way to show off the winners of the art contest. Unusual and captivating. I bet they were all beautiful walking around the gardens. genie
