Description
The Strelitzia or more commonly known as the Bird of paradise, was quickly photographed while we filled up at a gas station in Johannesburg on Friday. The province's name is GP and is jokingly referred to as Gangster's Paradise, hence my adapted tongue in cheek title.
I hope you all have a very relaxed weekend.

Like a breath of fresh air in these dark spring days, Oom. A beautiful capture set against that gorgeous sky. This flower actually grow in gardens in Bay! Beautiful work. Hugs for you, my dear friend. Diane.

Hehe I must have a lot of imagination or it's because I watched the movie Traffic yesterday... I thought you took the picture from a drug lord's (gangster) garden lol Anyway the title made me laugh :) I love those flowers but I have to buy them as cut flowers they don't grow here. I really like your composition, it's beautiful.

Superb capture of this very beautiful and exotic flower Piet, we only see them in hot houses over here. Love the out of frame postwork and the moon just adds the final touch, I don't think you could have positioned it better. Outstanding image and presentation. Bravo!!!!!

Looks like a more colorful form of a tanker boom. So happy to see one moon at last the correct size. The climate looks idyllic.
