Lost in Translation

Reason for Rainbows (or rainbow flowers)

This week the WordPress photo challenger is Lignum Draco. He is showcasing a series of photos from the Vivid Festival of Sydney, but allows us to interpret the “vivid” theme the way we like. The only condition is to have fun.

Here follows my choice for today along with some vivid music. Have a fun Friday everybody!

    This is beautiful Paula. Such bright and lovely colours but I guess it goes beyond that. It has a sound composition too. I think it would have been a very different photograph without the flowers in the background — they give such a sense of balance to the picture.
