We’re well into spring in November which is a popular time of year for doing Garden Tours. Thankfully, there are plenty of public gardens around Auckland where I live, that can be visited, even for free, and most of them I’m sure will be looking good at this time of year. The Winter Gardens at the Auckland Domain are a good example. They basically consist of 2 large greenhouses separated by a large courtyard and fernery. One the greenhouses is filled with subtropical plants while the other one focuses more on perennials and annuals, etc. and although one of them was closed for maintenance when I visited, the other greenhouse did not disappoint. I was like a kid in a candy shop not sure of where to point my camera first. It was a veritable feast of colours, shapes and textures. Plenty of inspiration for both the gardener in me and the photographer and artist too. The display of Foxgloves looked amazing. The fernery was stunning too and while there wasn’t much in the way of colour, there was more than enough textures and shades of green to make up for it. So if you ever get the chance to visit Auckland, be sure to visit the Domain and Winter Gardens. I’m sure you’ll be glad you did.

Situada em pleno Centro Histórico de Sintra, classificado Património Mundial pela UNESCO, a Quinta da Regaleira é um lugar com espírito próprio. Edificado nos primórdios do Século XX, ao sabor do ideário romântico, este fascinante conjunto de construções, nascendo abruptamente no meio da floresta luxuriante, é o resultado da concretização dos sonhos mito-mágicos do seu proprietário, António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920), aliados ao talento do arquitecto-cenógrafo italiano Luigi Manini (1848-1936). A imaginação destas duas personalidades invulgares concebeu, por um lado, o somatório revivalista das mais variadas correntes artísticas - com particular destaque para o gótico, o manuelino e a renascença - e, por outro, a glorificação da história nacional influenciada pelas tradições míticas e esotéricas. A Quinta da Regaleira é um lugar para se sentir. Não basta contar-lhe a memória, a paisagem, os mistérios. Torna-se necessário conhecê-la, contemplar a cenografia dos jardins e das edificações, admirar o Palácio dos Milhões, verdadeira mansão filosofal de inspiração alquímica, percorrer o parque exótico, sentir a espiritualidade cristã na Capela da Santíssima Trindade, que nos permite descermos à cripta onde se recorda com emoção o simbolismo e a presença do além. Há ainda um fabuloso conjunto de torreões que nos oferecem paisagens deslumbrantes, recantos estranhos feitos de lenda e saudade, vivendas apalaçadas de gosto requintado, terraços dispostos para apreciação do mundo celeste. A culminar a visita à Quinta da Regaleira, há que invocar a aventura dos cavaleiros Templários, ou os ideais dos mestres da maçonaria, para descer ao monumental poço iniciático por uma imensa escadaria em espiral. E, lá no fundo com os pés assentes numa estrela de oito pontas, é como se estivéssemos imerses no ventre da Terra-Mãe. Depois, só nos resta atravessar as trevas das grutas labirínticas, até ganharmos a luz, reflectida em lagos surpreendentes. www.cm-sintra.pt/Artigo.aspx?ID=2907 See where this picture was taken. [?]
