Hi everyone, ok, this is my second photo of my series of various artworks, so keep and eye, more will follow, this shot was taken in place called Wisley Gardens and this sculpture amongst others is being exhibited there by the Surrey Sculpture Society.
The Royal Horticultural Society's garden at Wisley in the English county of Surrey south of London, is one of the three most visited paid gardens in the United Kingdom alongside Kew Gardens and Alnwick Garden. It is one of four public gardens run by the Society.
Wisley was founded by Victorian businessman and RHS member George Ferguson Wilson, who purchased a 60 acre (243,000 mē) site in 1878. He established the "Oakwood Experimental Garden" on part of the site, where he attempted to "make difficult plants grow successfully". Wilson died in 1902 and Oakwood and the adjoining Glebe Farm were purchased by Sir Thomas Hanbury, the creator of the celebrated garden La Mortola on the Italian Riviera. He gifted both sites to the RHS the following year. Since then Wisley has developed steadily and it is now is a large and diverse garden covering 240 acres (971,000 mē). In addition to numerous formal and informal decorative gardens, several glasshouses and an extensive arboretum, it includes small scale "model gardens" including a Japanese garden which are intended to show visitors what they can achieve in their own gardens, and a trials field where new cultivars are assessed, thank you all and keep an eye for the next shot. |

J'aime beaucoup ton image je trouve les couleurs sombre mais cela rentre bien dans le cadre de cette image avec ces grands personnages.
Je regrette juste la partie rouge en bas.
Bravo
