It depends on your view


The Aquatic Pavilion at Huntsville Botanical Gardens is one of my favorite things to photograph. Every picture is different based on where you are standing, your viewpoint. Life is like that too. The first photo was taken at a distance. You could barely make out the pavilion and just barely see the people. Then I came up at an angle; the view was more about the water fountains and the shadows, and you could not even tell people were inside because of my viewpoint. Next, you could see the pretty circular vantage points, and if you looked closely, you could see a person on the right. You can also see part of the origami sculpture on the other side. Then, stepping around to the other side, the origami sculpture hides much of the beauty of the pavilion. Yet another view, which I did not take on this particular day as to not disturb others enjoying their day, was from the center of the pavilion, where you can see the Water Lily Pool filled with colorful fish and with warmer weather coming soon lilypads. Some of these views I loved; others were just not what I was looking for. Sometimes in life, we have to change our viewpoint to get the best view.
