The colors seemed so brilliant this early afternoon on April 13, 2011. The rich combination of line and form cast upon the solid earth colors of nature was a feast for the eyes: Above.
Our visit to one of the many sculpture gardens, where sculptures are placed as if they were in a museum, but outside, are illuminated by the sun. This bronze sculpture is titled Reaching, by Sculptor EvAngelos William Frudakis: Below. images by Stan Deatherage
Still in the sculpture garden, we recognize this bronze sculpture, Nebula, by Avard Tennyson Fairbanks: Above. The marble sculpture, Riders of the Dawn, by Adolf Weinman, is exquisitely framed within the tall live oaks and palmettos in this South Carolina Lowcountry: Below. images by Stan Deatherage
Whether it is the full opening of a rose, or the reflection of the land and sky in one of the many pools or tributaries upon the grounds, Brookgreen Gardens is awash in color: Above and below. images by Stan Deatherage
Live oaks are large and in abundance. Some are over six feet wide with boughs larger than most large trees in a mature forest: Above. The lower boughs of this live oak form a sturdy, green-splashed wall to frame this, or any other sculpture. This image is another angle of Diana of the Chase by Anna Hyatt Huntington in the Diana pool: Below. images by Stan Deatherage.
