How to brighten a winter's day

Posted by dobbino (Cape Town, South Africa) on 28 May 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

I have only seen one of these trees in the town in which we live, and it really stands out from the crowd at this time of year. The day was overcast, with a mixture of dark and light clouds rolling in. The combination of the two types of cloud creates a natural gradient in the backdrop to the tree, and I quite liked the end result - hope you do too.

All comments, and especially constructive criticism is truly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time.
