Sorry I have not been around to comment much Ken, but it has been the end of our financial year and thing get quite rought every March. Thank goodness it is over until next year. :)

Very cool. These little green spaces are many times over looked but they add so much to a community.

A wonderful little green park! It's a nice escape from the concrete! And I do remember that film. Wow! Funny how you forget about things like that.

SP said...

Ha! That's a great find, though it does look more like an old allotment that a spot worth killing for, no?

Top shot terrific. Scary film. Even scarier second image knowing his views. Loved V's comment, she beat me mine was Ben Hur.

It's nice to have a green space in big cities. - -Dave

Looks like you're actually able to walk on the grass too which makes it different from parks in Paris. Like everything else in the city here, grass is just to be looked at.

KenMac .... I used Picnik.com's Vibrance effect to make the colors brighter ...

Ha! Perfect title for this green lawn. We have a few weeks to go before we have soylent green lawns.

I hate to be a sci-fi pedant, but "Soylent Green" isn't about the last green place on earth. Soylent Green is the government-concocted miracle-foodstuff that is designed to feed the nation after a massive population boom/food shortage. Supposedly made from kelp from the bottom of the ocean, Heston discovers the factory where it's manufactured and realizes that it's made from people rounded-up by the overpopulation vans. Hence his immortal cry at the climax of the film:

"SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!!!"

So Alex, that explains the color of my grass (brown).

I loved the original film, saw it on release at the cinema. Quite like the remake with Will Smith, thought it was quite well done.
Thanks for the info.
