A bird flies high above the roof of the U.S. Botanic Gardens

This photograph was another attempt to find more light in the U.S. Botanic Gardens. Looking up, I saw the structured grid created by the panes on the greenhouse roof being intersected by another diagonal structure, which looks to be a stairway to the observation catwalk. Rather than frame the shot with horizontal and vertical lines, I framed a canted angle and waited for the bird in the sky to fly into the right position. In the far right corner, you can just make out the silhouette of a tall plant stretching itself into the frame as if to remind you that the botanic still rules this roof.
