Sunday foto safaris

The Cultural Gardens has a lot of picture taking possibilities. The new Ethiopian Garden has a five panel wall of mosaics on one side, and one large scene on the other side. The composition is of small tiles, most of the work is done. I read the Russian Garden will have their first statue, it will be Jurij  Aleksejevič Gagarin. When i was a child there was simultaneously a cold war, and a space race versus the Russians. Gagarin was the first man in space, and beloved and acknowledged by the world. It would have been hard to imagine, at the time, a statue of Gagarin in the United States.
