Trumpet vine

Trumpet vine
A street near me. (Algete street scene 1)

These dramatic flowers are fairly common here. They look especially good against a granite wall and with a view to the distant Guadarrama mountains. A blue sky helps too!
Also everything is as was! No editing at all, no cropping, no enhancements whatsoever.
The light yesterday was so pure that I could have read the small print off a can of coke (if I had been so inclined) without my reading glasses!
Sight and sound:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NR-hmFrR20 - by the late great Tim Buckley. Simply because it's a summery kind of song and with summer on the way out soon, I get a bit of a sadness creeping in. This song helps cheer me up. By the way, younger members might recognise the name of his talented son; Jeff Buckley. Sadly, both died young and both by drowning.
Perhaps best on full screen.
