The Carl Zeiss Sports Optics offices are in an industrial park just off 295 in Chester, Virginia south of Richmond. It is a nice park, with lots of well landscaped catchment ponds and fountains, small groves of trees and well shaded walks. Flowers are everywhere you could plant flowers. All in all, a nice place for offices if you have to be in an industrial park. Many of the ponds are planted with decorative reeds and grasses. This is a simple shot of the seed head of a decorative grass, framed against the surface of the pond with a longish zoom. I like the lines and the colors. I like the bokeh…enhanced by sparkles of sun on surface of the water. Elegant. Simple.
