The Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis will host an international exhibition of larger-than-life, lighted works of art from China from May 26 through August 19, 2012.
"Lantern Festival: Art by Day, Magic by Night" will attract visitors from throughout the country to experience one of China’s most treasured events and ancient traditions – the annual lantern festival.
Elaborate outdoor sets crafted of silk and steel will celebrate Chinese culture through bold color, dazzling light and striking design. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to witness a spectacle rarely staged outside of Asia.
View the "art by day" or experience the illuminated "magic by night" on Thursday through Sunday evenings.
Eight rich and vibrant colored balls line the entry pathway to the Grigg Nanjing Friendship Garden, serving as a welcome sight and inviting visitors into the festive atmosphere of the Lantern Festival and Chinese Garden.
I was really drawn to this composition for two reasons. I really liked all the green throughout the scene and I always liked the pattern of circles through the frame as well. The more I look at my shots from this day, the more ideas I have of more shots and compositions to make. I will more than likely be heading up to Missouri Botanical Gardens (MOBOT) tomorrow again since I have the day off. Should be fairly good weather and good for shooting. Also, photos from tomorrows photowalk will come with some exciting news. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!
