Right when this shot loaded on my screen I said "oh my god" outloud. This is really a beautiful shot. It reminds me of A Midsummer Night's Dream or something. Really, this is an amazing photo.

Hey, Motts,
I don't know if this is a dumb or obvious question, but was this shot taken in infrared?

Yes sir, it's an infrared shot. They are usually characterized by foliage turning white and a clear blue sky turning dark, but sometimes it's tough to tell like in this shot (it was overcast).

This picture almost looks like an impressionistic painting, thanks for the education, Motts.

It's pretty. Kinda has that "peaceful" look/feel to it.

My mom did her rotation in psych nursing at Met back in the 60's when she was in nursing school. She said that while she was here, they held a sort of carnival for the patients in this courtyard.
