Huntington植物園(Huntington Botanical Gardens)位於洛杉磯市中心東北方約12英裏的San Marino,屬於鐵路和地產大亨Henry Edwards Huntington在1919年創辦的The Huntington中的一部分(其它部分包括藝術搜藏館和珍稀圖書館)。其實前幾年就聽說過它,但一直沒去過。前兩天看到一個朋友發出的帖子說五月份憑美國銀行的DEBIT卡,就可免掉15美元的門票。嗬嗬,機會終於等到了!而且正好讓自己新買的SONY長焦數碼相機Cyber-shot DSC-H9小試牛刀一把:)剛進去時的總體感覺沒有想象中的那麽好。可能是因為原來的期望挺高的(我已去過洛杉磯另一著名景點GETTY CENTER好多回);也可能去的時候不對,錯過了欣賞百花盛放的最佳時機。不過既來之則安之,特別是手中握有的DSC-H9大大增強了我的信心。
1. The Huntington正門
2. 落葉的光與影
3. 15倍長焦下的Desert Garden
這張加了相機自身帶的SOFT FOCUS效果
4. 路邊的雞冠花和幾隻小貓:)
5. 圖書館外的雕塑和未名小白花
5. Rose Garden裏屈指可數還值得一看的玫瑰(在Huntington的官方網站上倒是有很多盛放的玫瑰照片)
這張加了相機自身帶的FISH EYE效果
6. Japanese Garden裏的錦鯉和瀑布
7. 三色荷花
這張也是加了相機自身帶的SOFT FOCUS效果
8. 此行之功臣(價格不到五百美元呢)!
