The quaint village of Burford - a small town on the River Windrush in the Cotswold hills in west Oxfordshire, England, about 18 miles west of Oxford, 22 miles southeast of Cheltenham and only about 2 miles from the Gloucestershire boundary (Wikipedia)
This is a project I've been wanting to do for awhile... ideally, I would have flowers surrounding the whole thing, but I can't afford custom flower boxes. But I figured since I'm doing this so close to the 4th of July, I purchased red white and blue (purple) flowers. :-)
I was actually installing these things as that tree branch came down the other night. (Photos previous to these).
I can remember when this was simply a concrete space between my garage and neighbor's. It now supports 4 rain barrels, 2 compost bins, a raised vegetable garden, three raised beds for berries, 2 cedar herb boxes, 2 flower boxes, & a charming garden gate

The stunning 5-floor landmark building (Classical Revival style) originally opened in 1897 and housed the first Chicago Public Library and a Civil War Memorial.
When the central public library moved to a new home in the Loop in 1991, the Chicago Cultural Center moved in.
One of the most comprehensive free art showcases in the USA - it's known as the "People's Palace" - providing Chicago both a local and global arts cultural scene from radio, literature, art, music, dance to theater, film and lectures.
The building is home to 2 magnificent stained-glass domes. One by George Healy and Louis Millet in the Grand Army of the Republic rotunda. The other a Louis Tiffany of the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company in the Preston Bradley Hall - reported to be the largest Tiffany dome in the world at 38 feet in diameter with some 30,000 pieces of glass in 243 sections held within an ornate case iron frame. In 2008 it was fully restored to Tiffany's original vision as it was in 1897.
I went easy on the contrast, heavy on the 'fill light' effect and stingy on the darks. With Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, I added a light vignette effect to make the flowers seem to jump out of the screen. If you know what I mean. The reflection off the restaurant window seems to add something to this simple floral street photo.
