The pride of the urban streets

Continuing with the floral post of the urban jungle, attempted to frame one of the most vibrant blooms seen across the streets of Thane, as well as some parts of Mumbai, these beauties blossom in the scorching heat of the summer, bringing in the necessary opulence in the otherwise dried up ambience of March and April. The presence of this, a valued tree with ornamental and medicinal values, right next to the street makes it stand out, and utilizing the traffic's light trail, attempted to get the atmosphere of the flora

Nice composition showing the flowers against the ever flowing traffic of the city. It is difficult for trees to survive on the roads, as the footpaths are dug or they are cemented leaving hardly any breathing space for the roots, they act as poles for wires and boards :(. Nice to see this one flowering. Thanks for sharing.

I had missed this image. This is very nice attempt and has come out well. The streaks due to the vehicle headlights adds to the image. I like it. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
