Speeding up in New York

Yet another car theme today.

New York is such a city where it is impossible to just slowly stroll around. At least, I can't, nor can anyone I know, and, I suspect, neither can the New Yorkers. I'm sure, there are some rare exceptions that only support the rule.

Each time I visit New York, I feel and see this crazy whirlpool: everyone hurries somewhere, not noticing anything and anyone on their way. Even the tourists, after a day or two, get "infected" with this wild speed and run, run, run... In this city one can't be slow - the aura is pushing him from behind, forcing him to lurch forward.

Orchids

Just been experimenting with special effects. The results are pretty interesting.

So blue!

I never believed there are flowers this blue until I saw them with my own eyes. Blue is one of those colors I love in flowers the most. All shades, light and dark - as long as it's blue.

Mystical Paris

There's something about the Eiffel Tower that drives me to it, and that I can't explain...

Paris pigeons

Moody day in Paris - but not for the pigeons!

Black tulips exist! :-)

Did Cornelius van Baerle (from Alexandre Dumas novel “The Black Tulip"), who was obsessed with the tulipmania and attempted to cultivate the elusive black tulip, know what would be the final result?

Would fascinating Black Parrot Tulip that resembles colorful tropical birds let him win the prize sooner?
