Time for Weekend Reflections
and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is G and GREEN and this time I
am showing the GLASS structure of the Palm
House at the Belfast Botanic Gardens. and is surrounded by GREEN foliage The building was
designed by Sir Charles Lanyon, who also helped design parts of nearby Queen's
University. The foundation stone was laid in 1839 and the two wings were
completed in 1840 by leading ironmaster, Richard Turner. The dome was added in
1852.
Above
is an image I took on one of my walks and
both the leaves and flowers are GREEN but the flowers will turn yellow as it is
a Laburnum tree. Below this images was taken at
Portavoe Reservoir and shows a lot of GREEN from the trees and plants giving me
a beautiful REFLECTION photograph to end this post.
I hope you enjoyed this post today.
I appreciate your visit and comments
That palm house is truly impressive and, as always, I really like your reflection photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place. I'm reminded of one in San Francisco, but this one is certainly older and truly amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite an amazing building Margaret.

ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have a botanic garden with all that glass on the roof - so much light that many beautiful flowering plants can grow all year long!
