The above entrance to the Greensboro Arboretum is inviting and really sets the tone for what you will see in the arboretum. This entrance arch was designed and constructed by Greensboro sculptor Jim Gallucci, and was installed, May 2014 on the Ashland Drive entrance. It frames the trees beautifully.
The photo below was shot behind the trellis, looking through to the autumn leaves. You can see the play of light between the metal, flora, and shadows. If you get a chance, stop by and see it for yourself. While you are at it, you can walk a few more feet and see the knit bridge in Lindley Park. If you go on December 5th (6-9pm), you can participate in Candlefest 2015. The girl scouts will light over 4,000 luminaries along the sidewalks of the arboretum. This year for Candlefest, there will be live music, Santa, and other activities, all free as long as you bring some canned food to donate for Urban Ministries. 'Tis the season of so much going on!
I second that you should take a stroll in the Greensboro Arboretum when you get a chance. I also marveled at how the light is reflected in the entrance way.
