This is my Zen spot here in Portland. I come here every chance I get and just step into Zen for hours. I leave refreshed, clear and open minded and relieved. I urge visitors to visit at least once every season to see the spectacular changing colors.
Our take away impression from our very first family visit and tour last year in August was an truly overwhelming learning experience giving hope to humanity in the perenially maintaining and keeping intact the true nature in our natural habitat and environment. Lee
Stunning video, Anthony... It's literally been decades since I've been here. I lived in Portland from 1990-1998. 1995 was the one and only time I visit this gorgeous garden. You can bet the next time I'm in Portland, this will be the first place I go! Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks so much for your comment! I moved to southeastern Washington about six years, and stopped by the Garden just looking for something to do. I had no idea how beautiful it was going to be. Now I try to get down every spring and fall.
It's sublime. Do you live in the area? If you go, I would suggest buying an annual membership from their website beforehand. It will let you get in a couple of hours before the Garden opens to the general public.
Thanks for your comment. I shot this on three separate days; two at the end of March and one the first week of June. Different flowers come into bloom at different times, so you just have to watch their website for updates and trust to luck. Also, if you have a membership to the Garden you can visit two hours before it opens to the general public. That's when you see most of the photographers. It's hard to get good footage during normal hours--the place gets pretty busy pretty fast once it opens, even on weekdays.
If you would please allow, I would love to use some of your footage set to music on my site. I will give you full credit for your beautiful film . Please respond when you can. Namaste' CM
