Thai Pavilion

This is dedicated to my Tuesday buddy Janice, who explores southwestern Wisconsin with me via bike rides to a different destination every week. One of our recent expeditions was a visit to Olbrich Gardens in Madison, Wisconsin. The exquisite building and gardens shown below were a gift to the people of Wisconsin from the people of Thailand. Every perspective, be it natural or human-made, is a beautiful composition. It is a place of perfect harmony amid flowers, rock, water and wood. This sequence takes you gradually closer and closer to one of the heavenly views that is seen from inside the pavilion.

Every now and then I can't resist blogging Gus. This is Gus the Galloping Goose, who rolled himself into this ridiculous position and just lay there gazing at me. He was oblivious to the indignity of his pose and enjoyed it for quite awhile before getting up and strolling away.
