Photos: Random Yards And Gardens


Very nearly a proper Christmas tree

These are photos of random peoples gardens. Above is from a house which has what appears to be a full sized evergreen in the yard. They have not decorated it for Christmas, but perhaps they should. My friend in Borella has a random bullock cart in their yard, pictured below. Also featured are a rooftop garden overlooking town hall, an austere pool/lawn combo, and two long exposures – one of a pretty girl in Maharagama and another of an abandoned (perhaps haunted) house on Skelton Road.

All photos are available in higher resolution via their respective Flickr pages (linked). Just click the All Sizes above each picture. Any of my photos can be used as you please, though attribution would be nice.

we had one of those evergreen trees at our old place. I remember when I was six or something it was still small enough to take into the house, and it was potted so we moved it in and decorated it cause we were bored :D I think we used cardboard cut outs for bells and shit :D
