Every Picture Tells a Story ... Don't It:" Brookgreen Gardens, Part I | Eastern North Carolina Now

    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.
