Gazing on the Gazebo by taffy

Gazing on the Gazebo

With February all about b&w, I have a backlog of photos to process from my wonderful two walks with @rosiekerr -- the cathedral and College churches and Forest Park (and a few Chicago walks). This gazebo sits across from the famous outdoor Muny Opera in St Louis' Forest Park -- 4 times the size of Central Park in NYC, and the site of their 1930s world fair. We got there as the sun was setting...great time of day to be in the park!

NOTE: The theme I'm hosting this month has already disappeared from the easy link section -- March-town2016. Please check it out: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/27367/announcing-march-town-2016-competition and think about entering a photo of your community.
Let me be the first to Fav this shot. It is absolutely beautiful with the soft tones and excellent composition.

Congratulations on making the PP. Well deserved.

I am sure it is beautiful in the spring & summer but I really like how you have captured it in the winter. Very pretty and the light is so nice.
March 3rd, 2016  
It's a very elegant gazebo- I can definitely see the refined folks of "Meet Me in St. Louis" wandering around the World's Fair here!
March 3rd, 2016  
Oh, it makes me very happy to see this shot on the PP. :) The sunset works a treat against the charming (and familiar) island gazebo. Very nicely shot. So glad to have witnessed it first-hand.
March 3rd, 2016  
Wonderful capture
March 3rd, 2016  
@rosiekerr I can't get over how many photos I'd like to continue to work on and post from our relative short photo walks. It was very special -- looking forward to another one! Sarah and I keep thinking of more work we need to do, so I may be back!
March 3rd, 2016  
@taffy That would be great... always welcome. :) It's "Morpho Mania" at the butterfly house in March, so you know. ;)
March 3rd, 2016  
@rosiekerr Oh, that would be fun! I suspect it won't be for a few months, though...
March 3rd, 2016  
Beautiful wintry light and scene.
March 3rd, 2016  
Oooh I like this - watercolors, with that brilliant turquoise.
March 3rd, 2016  
Gorgeous shot, Taffy!
March 3rd, 2016  
Beautiful light! I think I have to find someway of being there at that time of the day with better half! Watch this space :)
March 3rd, 2016  
@ukandie1 Definitely!! We were essentially at the entrance to the place where @rosiekerr posted her chandelier shot, and then if you walk straight out toward the edge of the pond, you can capture the sunset. We were there as the sun was going down, so maybe get there about 20 minutes before sunset and you'll be fine. Lots to photograph in a relatively small space. You could be gone an hour and capture a lot!
March 3rd, 2016  
@rosiekerr just googled Morpho Mania, and trying to figure out how to persuade my better half to visit it when we pick our son up for spring break. We are there for a couple of days so hopefully i can persuade him!
March 3rd, 2016  
@taffy haha...thank you I have a plan of action now, just have to get the better half in line with the plans!
March 3rd, 2016  
Gorgeous!
