Thirsty Leaves

[AlanLichty]

There are a number of water features scattered around the Portland Japanese Garden including this one in the area known as the Natural Garden. I used to make a point of wandering past this particular bamboo spout every time I visited and it offered a slightly different view each visit. In this case late October leaves were gathered at the watering hole for a sip

C&C always welcome.

Nice image, Alan. I like the 3d quality of the pool.

Thanks Kurt - the shapes in that pool are what kept me coming back every time. The mood of the scene changed with the seasons as well.

Thanks Ben - the colors were much nicer than most of what I got to see this fall.

The fall leaves gives this a nice warm look.

Thanks Jameel - this was one of the better images from this water feature mostly due to overcast skies and those leaves. This angle usually didn't work all that well with any direct sunlight on the scene.

As others have said this is a beautiful image. I can see it hanging on a wall.

Thanks Bob - I do like how this one came out but to be honest this is an image I shot in 2011 and never processed until Saturday.

That's really interesting with that bamboo spout and the fall leaves.

That's really interesting with that bamboo spout and the fall leaves.

Thanks Jim - the gardeners often leave clipped flower heads in the fountain in the spring too. Its always an interesting feature to shoot in these gardens.
