Thanks for posting it! I figure you would be the first!

Wow! Glad to see the water gardens open again. It's been a long time!

[bburton]

Thanks, Jeff and Roy. Here'e my attempt today to be a tad more creative.

Very good, Bruce. Great shots. Are those handheld or do they allow tripods? I would think tripods might not be permitted on the lower levels.

Bob, these are handheld. There's plenty of light down in that bowl-like structure. To my consideration, however, it's still a dicey trip for the very young and the growing-older to get to the bottom. I'm glad I wasn't carrying a tripod, for I seemed to need at least one hand free to maintain balance.

I will go there and use my monopod for balance...... wish an old man luck.

Good luck, Tom. Here's the path you will take.

I had two cameras around my neck (one for IR) and a shoulder camera bag on my side. Plus, I always take off my glasses and hold them in my mouth when I look through the viewfinder. In all the switching around of lens caps, cameras, glasses, etc. I really worried that something was going to plop into the drink.
