Who said nothing grows on concrete! Look at what I found at La Defense, the business district of Paris where there is far more concrete than grass! OK... They are not real flowers, but flowers made of recycled plastic bottles that are part of an exhibition by Pierre Estève. It's also a "crowdsourcing" event, where everyone is invited to contribute and bring their own bottles! Cool isn't it?

Flower 2.0!

What a clever and beautiful idea. I love too how the sunshine is reflecting off the buildings and as Kara mentioned the sky is so blue. This picture makes me smile! very cool indeed. Anne
ReplyDeleteCool shot.
ReplyDeleteVery festive! A "Welcome Spring" photo.
ReplyDeleteMuch more fun than the kind of recycling we do here! Are they very tall, or were you down on the ground again?
ReplyDeleteI wandered lonely as a cloud,
ReplyDeletethat floats on high o'er gleaming towers,
when all at once I saw a crowd,
a host, of bits of bottle flowers;
they had no scents, they made no sense,
spring had sprung in La Defense.

Blame Jeff, he started it.
A lovely colourful shot Eric, the buildings in the background are spot on.
LOOOOOOOOL
DeleteDrummond: Never, ever apologize. If someone doesn't get it from the get-go, tant pis.
DeleteEric: The photo is glorious. It's playful, contextual, and artful. This is why I keep coming back.
