Virginia Historical Highway Marker, a photo by bahayla on Flickr.

For the last post on this photo blog, created to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Norfolk Botanical Garden, I have posted a photo of the Virginia Historical Highway Marker located behind the old administration building. The photo was take on October 27, 2013.

Madonna and Child

Madonna and Child, a photo by bahayla on Flickr.

According to the old tour script this sculpture of the Madonna and Child is the work of an Italian sculptor named Amleto Cataldi. It is located in what we used to call the Purity Garden, surrounded by white flowering camellias. This photo has been somewhat altered in Photoshop, with the background blurred to give it the impression of a narrow depth of field and a subtle introduction of a lighting effect. The original photo was taken on October 27, 2013.
