Pond in Boston Public Gardens

This is photo that we are working from in this series of classes.  See photos below for details of information.
    Note that those center reflections are not as blue here as in printout.  They are coming from gray, probably
    limestone, center support to bridge and may be influenced by color bouncing from nearby boats and windows.

See More info about center support of Bridge,                Straight on view of right side of bride, see center support
Posts by boulders on right, and color of center                 This view is farther to the right than the painting you
support reflection.                                                        are working from, thus shows a different angle on those
                                                                                    supports.  You can also see more detail of bridge.

                                                                                  Here you can see that some of the reflection color at the
                                                                               bottom is from windows and building detail in the background

Just for the fun of it, not in your main photo                                Close up of center piling.  Notice color of bottom of
                                                                                                Swan Boats, probably reflecting a bit in main photo.

       

You can see the edging that lines the pond                         Detail of left side of bridge (opposite of your photo) but
It is not a walkway, the walkways there are asphalt.                helpful in knowing what detail would look like in your
                                                                                            view of the right side.

Looking back toward the view point in your main photo.  Shows more detail on those posts the
class was asking about.  Notice where the posts changes to reflection of post as it enters the water.
