Tribute

A carved sandstone block near the entry to the Spectacle Garden in Roma Street Parkland bears a tribute to Colin Campbell, who argued for the establishment of a world-class garden at this site. Mr Campbell was awarded the Order of Australia Medal in 2007 for his service to horticulture. The purple plants on either side of the stone are Colin Campbell Cordyline, according to a small sign nearby.

 

We're having so much grey rainy weather lately that my images are ending up looking dull and unQueenslanderish - there's a new word! So I processed this one with an impressionist effect to brighten it up but masked the block and sign to keep it readable.

 

Scavenge Challenge - Signs in context

I'm finding that it's not easy to get reasonable composition while keeping signs readable!
