colorful street flowers

colorful street flowers by ganobristol.
in Cochin (or Kochi as it is now called). Loved the Mediterranean feel. We ate lunch next door at a place called Old Courtyard....very charming setup and absolutely superb seafood.

As you may have noticed, I love taking photos of the little things. A shadow here, a railing there, brightly colored doors and windows and so on. I'm not particularly good at taking distance shots, and well, my camera isn't either :-) I had been looking forward to taking shots of street life and I'm glad a got a few of these in on my trip.

I love this shot. It's welcoming, well composed and gives me a cheerful feeling.

Framed against that beautiful window the bougainvilleas are looking like Romeo and Juliet longing to be in each other's arms yet stretched apart.

Wow, that window is beautiful! I love the shape and the color. And the bouganvillea is so pretty in front of it.
Great composition too, Shalini. Very nice shot!

Alix: Thanks so much....I agree, nothing like a bright door/window and flowers to make a scene welcoming.

Sharad: You are quite a poet! That sounds so wonderfully romantic, but yes one really can imagine that ;-)

omoo: yes, very contrasting.

KittyKaht: thanks!

anoop: Lol, if you'd been there, you would have had to cook for 11 of us :-)

indiyeah: thanks!

my whimsy: me too! I found it so refreshing.

catherine: thanks so much....I was in such a hurry when I took this....I was supposed to be scouting out a lunch place, when I was looking around for interesting shots to take ;-)

Leelawadee: thanks....so glad you liked them.....since I know how you love flowers!

MsGooner: thanks, me too!

Sandy: thanks....we drove past this and I remember thinking, oh that would be nice to shoot, but oh well, too late now......and then I walked back to look for a restaurant for lunch, and I got to take this! It pays to volunteer to wander in the hot mid-day sun, I suppose!

Amit: thanks so much!
