As with Overture, these are stunning shots of what some would view as ‘mundane’.
Well seen and shot. An instant fave….both of them.

PS Very reminiscent of Japanese art of cherry blossom against a blue sky.

I had not seen the cherry blossom until you mentioned it, but yes it is there, isnt it. thanks for pointing it out and for your kind comments.
