Oh c'est magnifique! on dirait une haie d'honneur pour le passage d'une personne exceptionnelle! De belles flammes bleues qui s'élèvent vers le ciel et un peu de jaune aussi! tikine3gogours · 2011-10-03: 07:27

This says pretty, cheerful, and carefree. How's that for technical? ....And wonderful contrast too! Keryl · 2011-10-03: 09:06

they're stunning, especially the second. I like that you left the mother and child in the first. McMommy · 2011-10-03: 09:57

beautiful and they must be pretty high going with the lady in the photo looking at them you did a brilliant job in the second with the blue against the sky . MoMac · 2011-10-03: 10:50

Magnifiques prises! Une belle mise en valeur du mouvement et des couleurs... miclaud · 2011-10-03: 17:05

Well THIS is unusual, the second shot is now so big that it doesn't fit on my MacBookPro screen!! I love these things, any idea what they are called?? DancingDolphin · 2011-10-04: 13:06

Nice find and capture tmaurer · 2013-04-30: 07:36

You got my vote, and not only because you are one of the few who know what a banner actually is! Annbramwell · 2013-04-30: 08:03

Voted. Finally, a picture that has to do with the proposed theme appears. angil · 2013-04-30: 10:16
