Taken at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. The "portal" is a sculpture inscribed on the inside of the circle with information about maple trees. However, I prefer to think of it as a gateway into the imagination.

Good thinking,but this definitely should be viewed full screen to appreciate the cleverness of it. I like the capture of the reflection of the orange leaved tree in the sculpture.

Super shot Steve. I hope it is a portal to a magical mystical place. I would like to take such a journey about now.

A looking glass to make the viewer aware of the beauty of the trees, a magic portal. Beautiful!

Hello Steve!

Love your idea of a gateway. Maybe into another dimension, another level of reality... Super well done, clever composition!

Steve - A sculpture that provokes though captured in an image that does the same. Kudos! Thad

He He, at thumbnail size I thought this was a manipulation, kinda cool to discover it was reality that looks like a manipulation. :) Nicely captured with a good slab of imagination.
