Golds and Blues at University of Wisconsin’s Arboretum

Golds and Blues © 2010 Bo Mackison

Not my usual photograph, but I was quite taken by the beauty of the Arboretum’s Visitor Center – the golds in the late autumn garden contrasting with the deep blues in the sky and the simple lines of the building. It was a gorgeous, late autumn day, the kind of day you tuck in your memory. And a perfect memory it will be when the snows of winter begin to fly.

    It’s a lovely photograph. I love the way the sky is reflected in the roof of the building and the way the building blends in with its surroundings.

  2. I’ve always thought that the Arboretum did a nice job of blending the Visitor Center with the surroundings. Your photo proves that. Great shot and angle.
