Photographing gardens require time to wait, to have enough patience: waiting for the light, waiting for clouds, waiting for rain, waiting for wind, waiting for snow, waiting for fog ...... waiting for flowers to blossom and fall, and usually, it is to wait for the moment when the scenery is unoccupied so that the picture is shot out of the picture is serene.
Sunshine and windy sunny days, the Garden of Cultivation 藝圃 乳魚 pavilion on the dragon, in the fluctuation of the water light reflection, seems to swim, tumbling. The clouds in the sky will ripple in the water along with the ripples blown by the wind, and it is hard to tell whether it is the water or the clouds that are moving.
Garden of Cultivation 藝圃 water is clear, but it seems too clear, and the water is also too shallow, the pool was covered by the water stacked stone cornerstone was exposed, lotus planting pool of cement surrounded was seen clearly, 延光閣 below the foundation of the building, lost ‘30,000 hectares of the lake cut a corner of the’ mood. 三萬頃湖裁一角 And there is not a swimming fish in the water, is it really water to clear and no fish?
Looking at the 延光閣 behind the residential buildings on the high rise of the solar energy device is no trace. This is a very pleasant surprise to me because I don't have to spend time retouching the picture if I take it again later.
