Description
I was fortunate to visit the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden in Seal Harbor, Maine as part of a garden photography workshop last week. This was my first visit to the garden, which is only open to the public for limited hours from July to early September.
The garden is now owned by the Land and Garden Preserve, which also owns Thuya Garden and Asticou Azalea Garden, two places we have been to many times, and love to visit when we travel to Acadia National Park.
The garden was designed by Beatrix Farrand and incorporates many Asian art objects collected by the Rockefellers. It is surrounded by a beautiful Chinese wall, and you enter through a series of formal gates.
I took this photo as we were leaving the garden - the play of shadows on the wall made for such an interesting composition, and the with the light constantly changing, each shot I took gave a different view. This is the one I like the best.
