What a wonderful carpet of petals . . . i just adore the byways of cities, all the little lanes and back driveways with overhanging fruit trees and flowers and all too often heaps of garbage as well, but what the heck it all belongs to a throbbing metropolis.
I didn't try to enlarge the picture, just squinted until I could see the oranges, two bright spots in the middle of the lane. Super photos, Julie. -- K

Such amazing colour in a dingy laneway. Mirazozo at The Opera House is open to the public but strictly 'user pays'. It was $10 or $8.50 for groups of 4 or more.
Nice shots Julie. I love the second one. Great still life with amazing colors.
