Old Time Garden

A view of flower beds planted in an old parsonage garden.  The bedding layout has been created this year and is typical of arrangements favoured around the time of WW1  Bougainvilleas are the most numerous of the plants. ( if this is better in POP please transfer )

 

Canon 400D, 18-55 @ 18, 1/1250 @ f8, -1 ev, ISO 800; sharpening in Perfect Photo Suite then added Nik glow and gold reflector filters.

Excellent comp to show the beauty of this garden.  The benches look like they would be a nice place to rest while enjoying a beautiful summer day.

It's a beautiful garden, Ian.  Love all of the shades of green and how well they glow under the overcast lighting.

Nice photo of this very attractive sunken garden, Ian. I like the softer light, and the sky complements the scene. I'd love the entire scene.

Wow, what a cool garden layout Ian! Great info on the 'arrangement' history of the garden, going back to WW1.
