Garden In The Gallery
I showed you the reflecting pool the other day. The other interior courtyard in the National Gallery is occupied by this garden, which can be viewed from both floors. I like the mood in here in the evening.
oh sure is amazing spot and the pictures you took a delight. Thank you for coming to my blog and leaving a comment. I just finished rewriting my page that was terrible. Now you can read it. I do not know how anyone could read such small printing.
There is not a free space in the courtyard.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
It definitely has a peaceful air to it.
ReplyDeleteThe geometry of the place is so much more evident in the low light setting.

This is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a spanish patio.
ReplyDeleteI like how they design the garden.
ReplyDeleteOh, a beautiful and well-kept garden !
ReplyDeleteThat's indeed a nice place in the evening. The last two photos are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend, William.
This beautiful garden is worth a visit by itself!
ReplyDelete@Tomas: no, it's quite well planted!
ReplyDelete@Halcyon: it's very soothing.
@Janis: I have photographed it before in daylight. There's a skylight overhead.
@Luis: I certainly think so!
@Marianne: I can see that too.
@Nancy: it's art in floral form!
@Karl: it is well looked after.
@Jan: thank you!
@VP: it is, yes.
That's an eye catching garden with light color and shape. Sometimes I think that such a garden is extravagant with the climate change issue.
Deletevery cool patterns, I wonder how much planning they do. we have snow falling 🤗
ReplyDeleteThe internal garden is beautifully set out William, surrounded by archways, oh la my favourite decorative shape, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLovely patterns; very soothing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely garden.
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely! What a great idea to bring a garden into a gallery. You don't see that usually unless it's in a greenhouse.
ReplyDelete@Red: I can see that too.
ReplyDelete@Beth: it's possible the flowers vary. I think they have to plan for plants that can thrive in low humidity conditions.
@Grace: wait til you see what's on tomorrow!
@Linda: indeed.
@Orvokki: it is!
@Denise: and these ones can't have the humidity of the greenhouse, since the space is open to the galleries, and the art can't tolerate humidity.
That is very pretty and peaceful looking. It kind of reminds me of the courtyard garden at the Art Institute of Chicago.
ReplyDeleteIt must be wonderful to walk into there at this time of year, William!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely, serene place....
ReplyDeleteA nice area!
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat this time of year!
ReplyDeleteCreepy and cool at the same time somehow: "Last Trees on Earth! $50 Entry to spend 5 minutes with them"
ReplyDeleteI can see why it's a favorite.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I seem to remember a smaller patio at the Met in NYC but perhaps I dreamt it...
ReplyDelete@Sharon: I imagine other galleries have similar concepts.
ReplyDelete@RedPat: it is!
@Norma: that it is.
@Marleen: very nice indeed.
@EG: certainly!
@Cloudia: that's a different way of looking at it!
@Revrunner: it's greatly appealing.
@Ciel: it wouldn't surprise me to have one there.
That is an amazingly beautiful spot! I imagine it's a nice green place to visit in the winter, too.
ReplyDeleteoh sure is amazing spot and the pictures you took a delight.
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming to my blog and leaving a comment. I just finished rewriting my page that was terrible. Now you can read it. I do not know how anyone could read such small printing.
Lovely garden.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I like the way you showed the shadows and shapes.
ReplyDeleteThis is as wonderful as the reflecting pools. Wonderful shots!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful space...
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful posts!
ReplyDelete@Meradeth: it is. They've changed it significantly inside since I took these shots.
ReplyDelete@Carolann: thank you.
@Mari: that it is.
@Linda: thanks!
@Kay: it is.
@Geoff: that it is.
@Jennifer: thanks!
