Celebration of Fall Colours in Bratislava Botanical Gardens

The Botanical Gardens of Bratislava are one of my favourite “relax spots” in the city. Despite the location being quite close to the freeway you can enjoy a silent and relaxing atmosphere.

Located almost on the bank of the Danube river, my favorite attraction is the Rose Garden where you can enjoy more than a hundred different rose species. However I thought of enjoying a last visit just shy of the closing season (November to March) to check the fall colours in all their splendour.

Here is what you fine just after the entrance.

Following the semic-circular path from the entrance it was time to scoop a tele-shot catching an absolute mess of colored leafs and branches

Proceeding toward the central part of the gardens, you’ll find a small (and extremely slippery!) path leading to a sort of stone garden: here red is the dominant color.

On my way to the lower part of the Gardens.

A small leaf-covered stairways leads the path to the Pond

All trees reflect thir colours nicely.

For additional information about the Botanical Gardens you can google for their official website (in Slovak language).

All pictures were taken through a Nikon D7000 and a 10 year old Nikkor Zoom lens and later processed in DxO Optics: they’re super sharp but I somehow lost it all due to the resizing. I’ll learn my way around it, I promise.

I hope you enjoyed, ciao!
