A Beautiful Place

A Beautiful Place

Uploaded: October 15, 2007

Description

Taken at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. I normally do not shoot nature, but after attending the BP Summit, I learned to get low, have something interesting in the foreground...and something interesting in the background. I was very happy with the results of my "tests"!
