<\/a>Biltmore Architecture And Palm<\/p><\/div>\n
After checking in, the route to the room (in a cottage), was along a path that ran through putting greens! As the sun set, long shadows were cast along the manicured greens, that are captured in this image.<\/p>\n

Phoenix had some high altitude clouds that I captured in this image with the palm trees and fountain.<\/p>\n

The water in the fountain was enticing in the late afternoon heat. Approaching the fountain, I selected a low shutter speed so that the motion of the water was not frozen in mid air.<\/p>\n

In the hotel grounds was this sculpture. I was immediately enticed to capture the green patina.<\/p>\n

Later, as the sun was setting, I made this image of sunlit clouds in the skies above the main hotel building.<\/p>\n

Driving up to the Biltmore, one is greeted by many Oleander bushes in the hotel grounds and lining the street approaching the hotel. Walking through the hotel grounds, I found this pink oleander bush tucked away in one of the corners of the buildings. The palm tree design of the blocks can be seen up close in this image.<\/p>\n

On entering the hotel, one is greeted by this indoor fountain with the characteristic palm design walls.<\/p>\n

Past the fountain is the lobby.<\/p>\n
