This Yellow Echinacea Paradoxa was
photographed withing the grounds of "Stanley Park" in Gosport,
using my 100-400mm lens at its long end with an aperture of f8
to produce the isolation of the single flower against the pink
and red flowers in the background.
Stanley Park is situated off
Western Way, Gomer Lane and also Stokes Bay Road. This
tranquil and serene area is Gosport's largest formal park and
is well know locally for its splendid floral displays. Located
near to the Seafront, Stanley Park is extremely popular in the
summer months where families come to picnic and spend time
enjoying the sunshine.
In July of
1971, Osborn Gardens, situated within the park, was opened and
named in honour of Alderman Charles Barnard Osborn who had
been responsible for the design and layout of the Borough's
public gardens and the provision of flower beds at roadsides
and street corners. This memorial garden is an appropriate
lasting tribute to the initiatives that Alderman Osborn took,
providing a place for reflection, peace and relaxation. |
