wow! Where is this? #10362543Mary L. Olson October 09, 2012
Stephanie , the trees are in the Keukenhof Garden in the Netherlands. But the mirror effect was done in Photoshop. They are such beautiful old trees and the grass there is incredibly green. I actually desaturated it a bit!Thanks for your feedback!
