Jacarandas at Central Park

A little over a week ago, Mary Johnston asked if I could publish a photo of Jacarandas. Well, I found some trees in Parque Central, out of all places, and in the process I manage to snap a shot of Central Park which I believe to be quite original. At least I haven’t seen this particular angle and I’ve seen thousands of photos about Antigua’s Parque Central.

By the way, the first time I remember being aware of Jacarandas was in Southern California, Long Beach to be precise, where the Jacaranda trees are very popular. Since then I totally forgot them and did not even thought there were Jacaranda trees around Antigua Guatemala. I thank Mary Johnston for pointing out the trees to me.

Enjoy!

    I love your point of view in this shot of the park fountain. The Jacarandas are lovely. I too remember them from Southern California (Anaheim) and walking to school on sidewalks covered by the purple blooms that got all smashed under foot and gooey.

    you’ve found the Garden of Eden.
    this is so gorgeous-and your choice to leave the sky out of the composition really creates an intimate portrait.
    Beautifully done!

    Wow, que increible, de verdad que qué colores tan bonitos se ven.

    Me encanta también el volcán (creo) al fondo y también la fuente y la gente, para que se sepa que este lugar en verdad existe :) .

    saludos.

    Absolutely gorgeous. We also have jacaranda trees in Tenerife: there are quite a lot in the capital Santa Cruz and some that I particularly notice closer to home, but here they won’t be flowering until between April or June. I look forward to them every year.

    Hi Rudy…thanks for your comments at HKDP…these trees are beautiful and I think they have another name in Canada…not sure though. :-)

    Kim: It looks like this simple lilac flowers and trees made an impression on us.

    Sophie: I did find this picture very pleasant. I like the color and the mellow atmosphere.

    Pacuna: tus fotos no están nada mal tampoco. Por cierto, la montaña en el fondo no es un volcán.

    Lessie: Actually, the mountain in the background is not a volcano.

    Sompopo: If the spring does not go to you, you must go to the spring.

    Ale: Hablando de alfombras de flores, recuerde que ya viene la Semana Santa y hare todo lo posible por traerle las alfombras de flores.

    Pamela: It seems that Jacarandas are very popular in many cities around the world.

    Lisi: Thanks for the visit and your comment. I am glad you found a few seconds to stop by. What is the name they use for the Jacarandas in Canada?
