~Venice Giardini~
The Venice giardini is an area of parkland in the historic city of Venice which hosts the Venice Art Festival, a major part of the city's cultural biennale. The gardens were created by Napoleon Bonaparte who drained an area of marshland in order to create a public garden on the banks of the Bacino di San Marco which is a narrow stretch of water dividing the gardens from St. Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace.
The gardens are also famous for the many cats which run wild in the vicinity and for some of the sculptures such as the statue of Garibaldi situated at the entrance.
...this is exhibition is dedicated to all motifs that your imagination connects with a garden or a park; a park in following sense:
an area of land, usually in a largely natural state, for the enjoyment of the public, having facilities for rest and recreation, often owned, set apart, and managed by a city, state, or nation.
"Photography is not like painting. There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative," Henri Cartier-Bresson

Featured here are photographs I took at a Co-op garden down the street from my home. It is tended by several people (myself included) who donate their time and resources for the public to enjoy. I took these last year with a crappy old camera (which promptly broke soon after), but they turned out fairly well.
Unfortunately, the camera ate all the other photos I had, but I hope to purchase a digital camera soon, for many more better quality pictures. Hope you enjoy; Mahalo, Cyclopian
