| The Conservatory
|
|
|
|
|
| The Botanic Garden's main conservatory. The sky is as blue as it gets in
Shanghai.
| A 360 degree panoramic movie from the conservatory's entrance. It gives
a vague sense of the place.
| A picture designed to capture the vertical expanse of the conservatory.
| A picture of a path, to further convey what walking around the
conservatory was like.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| What a busy shot.
| From a walkway above the conservatory floor, a view of trellises hung with
flowers. I think the man with the baby and the woman posing both add
something to the picture.
| More trellises.
| Looking down from the observatory deck high above the conservatory floor.
Yes indeed there are many plants.

|
| Ibid, looking down at the waterfall and pond and people relaxing on
benches.
| This growth of orchids is composed like a bouquet, though it's obviously
much larger than one.
| Please identify this for me.
| Excellent for it's weirdness. I think this is another orchid.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A perfect orchid.
| More orchids.
| A cool tree. It's captured another tree!
I think it's a type of "ficus superba" from Japan.
| A funky tree.

| Botanic Gardens (outdoors)
|
|
|
|
|
| The requisite map of the park to show what it includes.
| A pretty stream near the conservatory. Excellent.
| A field of tulips, also near the conservatory. Excellent, mainly
for its color balance.
| Closer-up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Closest-up. Tulips.
| Another field of tulips.
| A line of really tall trees.
| In the garden by the cymbidium room.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| In the same vicinity. Excellent. (I now think I'm being too
generous.)
| Ivy, ivy everywhere.
| A path in this garden, and yet more ivy.
| Sprouting flowers.
I'd like this picture more if all the sprouts
were in focus.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| People could take paddle-boat rides on some streams in the park.
|
The bamboo section of the Botanic Garden is so long it took me ten minutes
to walk straight through it (not taking the winding trails).
| Above a secluded cave and pond, people hung out and played games.
| Although the rose garden was not yet in bloom, I could appreciate its
design / spatial layout.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Rocks along some of the main paths in the park contain speakers that
played classic music. This movie (with sound!) proves it.
| A statue of a fisherman. Cool!
| A bridge enclosed with flower baskets.
| Tulips and another photographer of tulips.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| More tulips.
| A 180 degree panoramic movie taken from one of the wide promenades near
the flower show part of the Botanic Garden.
| They had fun with this sphere.
| Hi aliens!
