Friday's Fish Tails......Botanical Center


A very large koi was resting in among the ferns.  Coins are dropped into the pool I guess for good luck.  I am sure they get enough loose change to pay for their food.  There is a lot of negative and positive space here with ferns in front, ferns  and dome in  reflection and the fish is in covered by partial reflection.


There are three or four view areas for the pool as it extends from one wooden bridge to a stone bridge down a small channel to a waterfall area.  The pattern of the dome really adds a little interest to a photo.

Hi Larry

at many of the village ponds I encountered on my walk through Japan we saw giant koi. They are seen here in Hawaii too in the large mall at Alamoana for example.

Happy days
