Views from Dahlia Hill

Dahlia Hill scenes

The center photomerges are of the left (south) side, and the lower left (southeast) corner of the site. The eponymous hill rises gently from front (east) to back (west)

The overall site consists of two sections of curved beds on a set of levels. Depending on the section theres are six or seven such levels. The left section features four aluminum sculptures by Charles Breed that represent the equinoxes and the solstices in each soloar cycle. In this montage, the left frame shows the 'Summer Solstice' sculpture and the right frame shows the 'Vernal Equinox' sculture. According to the web page of the Dahlia Hill website, they are seven feet tall.
Select the 'sculpture' link at the top of this web page, http://www.dahliahill.org/garden/, to read more about the sculptures. The symbolism built into them is pretty interesting.

Dahlia Hill is in Midland, Michigan, very close to Dow Gardens.
The photos were all taken in September, 2018

This montage is not the projected I alluded to earlier in the week. That project is ongoing and involves file organization and annotation to make it easier to chart my progress on a long term photo project.
