Very nice series Douglas
I like this one best : looks like Gaudi revisited in colour.

I also like the vivid colours of some of the flowers there (yellow
orange one is wow).
Good work, really.
I enjoyed my break thanks to you :-)

Visitiors form the UK and Virginia over the weekend so we went the the
Herrenhäuser Gardens here in Hannover.
These are a few shots exported directly from Lightroom.
The first station of the tour was the Niki de St Phalle Grotto, the
artist, who died recently, had close connections to Hannover:
These two ladies were outside, looking in at their husbands perusing
the vaguely erotic sculptures

Don't really like the stuff Niki de St Phalle did, but this is typical:

The light inside is amazing:

More of these when I get around to taking a closer look at the rest
and donig some post-processing.
Next stop - the 3 greenhouses:
The Orchid House - Hannover is world famous for breeding orchids (and
the place where African Violets were first propagated for the
commercial market):

Not an orchid, but it was in the same greenhouse - very alien-looking

Some have quite dreary colours, but fascinating forms

Personally I prefer the tiny and delicate orchids, but this was quite
spectacular in its own way - helped out with a little flash

These tiny, spidery ones are my favourites:

Looks strange, has flowers as big as dinner plates and stinks

The Cactus House:
Flowering Opuntia

Possibly an Opuntia too
