The pride of the city(India)

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: Jarul/Lagerstroemia speciosa

One of the most vibrant blooms of summer, these Jarul bloom. along with the copperpod flowers(can see few of the fallen flowers) bring in the necessary vibrance to the urban jungle. Hope the future generations too enjoy these flowering and are not taken over by the ever growing urbanization and 'development'

Good details on the flower. Liked the framing. Hope the trees are not cut down for wider roads or other constructions in the city. I see lot of trees on the road side being redcued to only trumps in the pretext that the branches might fall and hurt people :(. Hope awareness increase. Thanks for sharing.

This has come out very well. For some reason, I had missed commenting on this shot. The light streaks give a sense of speed and restlessness of the city. The flower is perhaps saying that you still can retain calm amidst all the madness. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
