c'est un parking réservé au deux roues ;o) bien vu la photo.
I could happily retyre here. My favourite splash of purple.
Wonderful capture here. Good facade here
Very good idea, especially for drivers-beginners ;-)
Good place to park there, also two missing tires :)
A lovely place and the sign isn't bad there either but the tires spoil the flowers. Still, if left there very long the flowers will, eventually, cover the tires up.
It is a lovely set of blooms.
Whoops? What does PRIVE mean?
It means Private, Abe. it's one in a group of parking places outside a block of apartments.
Those two tires look like two big mouths, open-wide, in a state of wonder...as if they are searching for the rest of the car. This is such a cleverly composed shot, Jilly.
The bishop's car park, maybe?
I like the contrast between the old tyres and the beautiful blooms. Great splash of colour too!
Genius shot.Bravo!

Gorgeous bougainvillea. I don't know if in french it is called bougainvillier.
The tree is absolutely stunning. I love the petals on the ground!
Love the (what is it?) bougainvillea; one of my favorite colors. And the tires stand in contrast!
What kind of flowers are these? Whatever they are, what a great way to beautify a parking lot.
Thanks Jilly!

To everyone who asked, this is bougainvillea. This is the most common colour and grows very vigorously.
In French, it's almost the same - bougainvillee (with an accent).
That's the funniest photograph! What a great find.
I feel that the sign and tires, altho realistic of the modern world, are an intrusion interfering with glorious nature. It's a wonderful capture to depict society.
How beautiful. I love bougainvillea (of course it's far too cold for it up here,apart from in the greenhouses in the Botanic Gardens).
