VIEWS FROM THE BENCH
SAYEN GARDENS
WOODEN GAZEBO & FOUNTAIN
by Florence W Deems
::: ::: :::
In the first image below, we see the Gazebo behind the fountain. This panorama was made during a hot sunny day about noon, so the contrasts are great between light and shadows. In the second image we see some people enjoying the area around the fountain. This shows the benches opposite the Gazebo, from which this image was made. Next image shows the Gazebo in February, 2008, just before some teens destroyed its wooden railings. A year later, February, 2009, the last image shows the Gazebo with new wrought iron railings which vandals will have a hard time trying to destroy.

Made with a Lensbaby lens, the first image below shows the two new benches placed among the old ones. The second image shows part of a commemorative plaque on a bench that someone donated in loving memory of a departed loved one. Several benches are so dedicated. One recent year some vandals took away the umbrella that's part of the fountain. But this allowed me to make a portrait of the boy and girl. The last image is a false color infra red portrait of the fountain. |

Below, the first image is a panorama of the area around the fountain, showing the benches, the fountain and part of the Gazebo, February, 2009. The white bridge is in the background. Second image: A view of the fountain, missing its umbrella, and the benches from the Gazebo, February, 2009. The building in the background houses the restrooms and equipment such as mowers and shovels. The third image: the boy and girl wear their garments of snow, February, 2009. The last image is a composite of two separate images. The mother is the same, but shown in two different positions. |
