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.

Flowers in Madère. Excellent shot. Bravo
Superb work :)
What a great shot! Really awsome. Congratulations ;)
Beautiful capture and splendid presentation ;O)
I don't think I ever realized how gorgeous these plants are! I love the blue part in there, it looks like two more little birds! Such a wonderful macro of this one, with your usual fabulous presentation! Sorry for the delete, I wanted to add that all three of the Grrrs are making trips to the vet. Two for health reasons, frequently, and one just for weight ins, which are free!
A simple and stunning image, perfectly presented ! Congratulations, Oom Piet for your selection in LWitG (Last Week in the Gallery – week 16-2008 ) !

love the moon in the shot. I did not know what it was at first. wonderful
Very beautiful shot and wonderful colors !!!
EXCELLENT & BEAUTIFUL CAPTURE !!!!!
Fantastic macro!
Awesome colors and postwork!! One minor technical criticism, but one that does not at all draw away from the beauty of this image...that is the fact given the depth of field here, the moon would not be as sharp as shown. Congrats on your selection to the LWITG!
Beautiful. A striking image!
Glad to see some of your new works, Piet! :)
