Where is this? Very Lord of the Rings!
Lake Wales, FL
Bok Tower and Gardens. https://boktowergardens.org/

Photos for the past couple of days and next week will be from the gardens surrounding the tower. I have a pass that includes it in its reciprocal admission policy that expires in Dec. Saw the camellias were budding up along the walk so will have to return in November.

Excerpt from the book I am writing...
"The Carilion at Bok Tower rises 205 feet and contains 60 bronze bells that resonate throughout the garden. Edward Bok, a retired and very successful publisher, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author wintered with his family in the exclusive Mountain Lakes Estate at the base of the mountain. When able to purchase the top of the mountain, he commissioned landscape architect Frederic Law Olmstead, Jr and other skilled artisans of the day in the creation of the gardens and Singing Tower, dedicated in 1929."

Nice one!



You made a good job of it. I didn't notice a thing!

ps Do you normally get up after sunset? :)
Well often before sunrise these days! I had been to the cathedral with friends the day before but at about mid day. No chance for good photos then as the sun was around the wrong side. They flew back that night and I had a day with my camera in a beautiful City. Started at the Cathedral and went to a few other places as well. Photography with non photography people never really works out does it?
