Description
Captured back on 6/28/09, at the beautiful Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden, located on the north campus of beautiful California State University Long Beach, in Long Beach, California.
After an extensive and intensive search, I finally came up with a ton/tonne more photos from the immaculate Gardens, taken a full 2-1/2 years before the recent ones posted, and an approximate twenty months before my cataract eye surgery. I knew deep down that if I kept looking I would find the missing files. Seek, and ye shall find.
For the critics, thanks for the input, but I'm not going any darker on any of my Japanese Garden photos.
A ZOOM would open a whole new vista of viewing pleasure.
Sayonara, baby.

It's a lovely garden, Harry, and I'm glad you found your files! This is a wonderful view, and very few people in your way, which gives me great envy...wonder how many gardeners take care of this little piece of heaven? Great capture, my friend.

A flowing composition, as the water flows out from the bridge, opening up as it moves towards us. And nice capture of both the water's surface---with reflection---and the bed beneath. Shots like these would seem a challenge, because of all the visual onslaught and having to make a 'whole' of it all. But your pov's make the wholes, and the contrasts between bleached boulders and those bright yellow bush-tops and the several water-growths make this like an Impressionist painting. (Monet painted scenes like this over and over.) Lots of contrast too. Another pastoral beauty from this series. (And btw, "EBM/CSULB"---while you've told us what it stands for---sounds like the name of a mainframe computer from 1960 that auditioned for Kubrick's "2001"! One would never think it was an acronym for a Japanese garden...) (Here's a link to a Monet water lily painting. Be sure to zoom if needed. Its colors are more red/violet than green and yellow, but you can see how he dissects light into pure dabs of color, almost abstracting the light into patterns. Your captures have that sense, in the way you've brought out highlight after highlight across the image. There are Monets with greener and bluer tones, but the jpgs are bad.
