This Saturday, I’ll be downtown for a workshop of taking pictures of city downtown. We’ll see how I do. ;0)
Kapok flowers? How interesting. a) That anyone should still know what kapok is. b) That its flowers should be red. Didn’t know. Reply
I had to look twice–I thought those were babies sitting with their bird. They are buds!! 😀
I suppose Kapok is not a very common tree in your area!
Love the colours in this pic, and it’s simplicity
Thank you!
beautiful composition. 🙂
Thank you!
Where is here?

This reminds me of a dress my grandmother used to wear, lovely photograph!
So beautiful that it can be printed on clothes!

Its so beautiful like a classic Chinese painting
It does look like it!
I felt the same as lightravellerkate: it looks like a Chinese painting. Very beautiful!!!
Tomorrow I will post some more on the same subject, however, they look less like Chinese paintings.
very nice capture!
Thank you!
This looks like a painting.

Sounds like it will be a useful workshop!

We have kapoks here in HK, they are known as the Hero’s tree!
Interesting. Who was the hero?
I don’t think there is a specific hero, I need to research why it is also called the hero’s tree!
