Description
The Strelitzia or more commonly known as the Bird of paradise, was quickly photographed while we filled up at a gas station in Johannesburg on Friday. The province's name is GP and is jokingly referred to as Gangster's Paradise, hence my adapted tongue in cheek title.
I hope you all have a very relaxed weekend.

Beautiful flower and background. I see the moon is in there too... Nice. Aloha
Beautiful capture and stuning colour!
Hehe I must have a lot of imagination or it's because I watched the movie Traffic yesterday... I thought you took the picture from a drug lord's (gangster) garden lol Anyway the title made me laugh :) I love those flowers but I have to buy them as cut flowers they don't grow here. I really like your composition, it's beautiful.
A very lovely photo Piet, the colors are so vivid!
It's really cool shot! EXT!
superb work!
Superb capture of this very beautiful and exotic flower Piet, we only see them in hot houses over here. Love the out of frame postwork and the moon just adds the final touch, I don't think you could have positioned it better. Outstanding image and presentation. Bravo!!!!!

A super capture and I love how you have caught the moon there in just the right place.
Stunning image as always!>fav

Looks like a more colorful form of a tanker boom. So happy to see one moon at last the correct size. The climate looks idyllic.
This is definately the best capture and presentation of this flower I have ever seen and there growing outside my window but this capture looks so much more. Excellent...
Superb capture!!
