Southsea Rose Gardens

Southsea Rose Gardens
Taken during a walk a couple of days ago. I waited for ages to try and get a shot with no people in it, but gave up.......this was the best I could do. The guy in the high vis jacket was watering the plants.

It's a bit of a shame the grass is all dried out, but that can't be helped. They'll water the plants but not the grass to save some water.

Best viewed large...........and please check out the PiP for an alternative view. Thanks for looking.

Fabulous symmetry in both photos, it suits the subject! I have nearly given up on waiting for people to walk out of photos because usually someone else walks in as soon as I hit the shutter;-)

Two absolutely beautiful shots of the gardens Keith. The man in the picture is doing a fine job and I don't think he detracts from it. I would love to visit these gardens and will be in Portsmouth in a couple of weeks, but sadly, for a funeral.

I love how you have captured the picture in PiP. It looks as though the roses are tumbling out of the fountain, or is it a sundial?

Have a nice day and a great weekend Keith.

Never try and take a workman from the image, it's he that helps keep these beautiful gardens pristine, two wonderful images and I like your perspective plus the lovely tree colours in the main image and the fine detail in the pip,
Have a lovely weekend, but keep cool.

Good advice Roger :-)

I visit this place quite often...........not just to take photos, but sometimes a book to read. There are seats all the way round so you can pick a different view each time you go. Obviously when the roses are in bloom is the best time of year.

Thank you for your kind comments. Enjoy the rest of your day and have a good weekend.

A wonderful rose garden that reminds me a lot of some here.
I learned to remove characters from my photographs with the help of a tripod and photographic sequences of the same scene at intervals of one to three seconds. Through the photo overlay system, I was deleting people on the same location where at some point there was no one. Have a nice Sunday.

Eine wunderschöne Gartenanlage in zwei schön gestalteten Aufnahmen!
Bei uns ist es seit März viel zu trocken. Meine Wildblumen wachsen kaum. Das ist sehr enttäuschend. Ich hoffe auf ausgiebigen Regen.

Thank you my friend..........I'm lucky to have it so near to where I live. The lack of decent rainfall is becoming a huge problem.........not just for gardeners, but for farmers especially. I don't think there's rain in the forecast for quite a while yet..........quite the opposite!
