Conservatory of Flowers
San Fran
The Conservatory of Flowers is what I imagine a 1900's century solarium would look like. Humid, green and the scent of dirt and flowers illuminated under a great glass dome. It was a pleasant surprise. There was a quixotic romanticism in the flower arrangements and everything looked so lush. I enjoying the muted sunlight for a while before the taking photos.
The photos didn't come easily. The greenhouse was so humid that my lens fogged up. No amount of wiping cleared away the condensation fast enough so I ended up running back and forth between a cooler climate room and the garden. But sometimes, the haze gave the pictures a dreamy effect.
