Unexpected Finds

This past Saturday, I attended one of the Parktown Heritage Trust Walks - this time of

the old Johannesburg General Hospital precinct.   It was sad to see decay and run

down buildings, but at the same time, amazing to see what great work is being done

 to restore most of them.   Photographically this was a truly an exciting time - the

 contrasts, the details and the unexpected were around every corner.....

So the image above is part of the Johannesburg Hospital building with wild flowers

 growing around it and just for a Blue Monday, offset against a gorgeous blue sky.

These two images are close ups of the the wild flowers and of a dried seed head

- growing abundantly amidst apparent chaos and decay.
