The opportunity to make infra red photographs diminishes as the leaves turn and drop from the trees during the fall. So this last week, I made some more infra red photographs. Returning from work, I stopped by Samson Park. The park is surrounded by a black steel fence. This contrasts very strongly against the grass that is rendered white in infra red.<\/p>\n

Inside the park, there is a pond that is bordered by burning bushes on two sides. These bushes are mostly green but soon they will start to turn into a burning red like they do most years. Right now, with infra red, they are white.<\/p>\n

I turned into to park — this has an “Alice in Wonderland” theme. The white rabbit, which is actually a dark brown sculpture, stands out against the green foliage.<\/p>\n

Several children were playing in the park, followed closely by their mother who was making photographs of their adventures in wonderland. I just stayed out of their way while pursuing my own adventure!<\/p>\n

Several new works of art have been added to the park this summer. During construction, a hut stood here. This was later replaced by a translucent white structure on a pentagonal base. When backlit by the sun, this hut just glows white.<\/p>\n

There is another set of sculptures constructed from intertwined branches along one edge of the park. The branches from the trees have managed to grow through these structures and around these structures to catch the sunlight. Here they glow white reflecting infra red from the sun.<\/p>\n

At the entrance to the park, is a bench sculpted with a woodland theme — fitting with Alice’s adventures. The back rest has an opening that I have used as a window frame for the garden in the background.<\/p>\n
