I found these colours on the walk from Bondi to Googee, not far from Bondi. Maybe some geologist could tell me where the colours come from. Looks like painted but its not.
September 2012. I just realized looking for groups to include this, that Kounelis below asked me to send to his group Stones scupted by nature 54 months ago. C.half a year ago Flickr made me its admin :).
I love all the colours on display at the start of autumn and this circle of green trees really caught my eye amid the heather and ferns turning golden
My colleagues play Holi during office hours.
Holi, also called the Festival of Colours, is a popular Hindu spring festival observed in India and Nepal.
A popular festival in India, it is spread over two days.
On the first day bonfires are lit at night to signify burning the demoness Holika, Hiranyakashipu's sister.
According to scriptures, Hiranyakashipu is the king of demons, and he had been granted a boon by Lord Brahma, the creator, which made it almost impossible for him to be killed. The boon was due to his long penance, after which he had demanded that he not be killed "during day or night; inside the home or outside, not on earth or on sky; neither by a man nor an animal; neither by astra nor by shastra". Consequently, he grew arrogant, and attacked the Heavens and the Earth. He demanded that people stop worshipping gods and start praying to him.
Despite this, Hiranyakashipu's own son, Prahlad, was a devotee of Lord Vishnu, the preserver. In spite of several threats from Hiranyakashipu, Prahlad continued offering prayers to Lord Vishnu. He was poisoned but the poison turned to nectar in his mouth. He was ordered to be trampled by elephants yet remained unharmed. He was put in a room with hungry, poisonous snakes and survived. All of Hiranyakashipu's attempts to kill his son failed. Finally, he ordered young Prahlad to sit on a pyre on the lap of his sister, Holika, who could not die by fire by virtue of a shawl which would prevent fire affecting the person wearing it. Prahlad readily accepted his father's orders, and prayed to Vishnu to keep him safe. When the fire started, everyone watched in amazement as the shawl flew from Holika, who then was burnt to death, while Prahlad survived unharmed, after the shawl moved to cover him. The burning of Holika is celebrated as Holi.
On the second day, known as Dhulhendi, people spend the day throwing colored powder and water at each other to celebrate the victory of good over evil.
This natural colour combinaison of yellow flowers against a purplish wall is somehow very pleasing to my eye.

The colours are nicely reflected in the still water of the canal basin.

Holi is a Hindu festival that marks the coming of spring. It has its origins in a story of the foibles of certain gods and that story includes lashings of jealousy, revenge and attempts at murder - all sorts of good stuff. Somehow this has been translated into the 'playing' of holi where you spend a day dousing each other with water and wet or dry dyes. Heaps of fun. A camera and cries of "look out, don't damage the camera" comes in handy when trying to avoid getting messy. In this shot some friends in Khara show the consequences of playing Holi.
Patagonia colours..... that´s what I tough of the first time I saw this picture in my computer. It reminded me of just how amazing is to find yourself in a natural enviroment where the whole rainbow pattern of colours is possible in only one sight.
Los colores de la Patagonia.....eso fue lo primero en lo que pensé la primera vez que vi esta foto en mi compu. Me hizo recordar lo increible que es encontrarte en un lugar donde es posible tener todos los colores del arcoiris en sólo una mirada.
Taken at Rudyard last Autumn ....I really love this time of year with all the colours and how much nature changes in just a few weeks. This particular picture reminded me of a painting as I turned around the colours stood out to me so had to capture it x
yellow, a bronze brown and green all colours of the garden. I am not sure what this is but have 2 plants of it, and it is always hardy against the West Yorkshire weather that come across the fields at the garden....if anyone knows what it is again I would love to know, I got so many mature plants when we moved here in a big garden it takes a while to learn them and how to looks after them the best.
