Dying In The Kerb

I was given a bunch of tulips as a present for my birthday. They came from Jane; it was a first for me! They looked quite good in the glass jug, but as in life….they started to droop and die. It was at that point I photographed the dramatic arrangement. Walking up Ten Bell Lane to the junction at Pottergate and Cow Hill, I noticed the road markings that had been worn away. The cobblestones seemed to emerge from the paint. I took a few photos. I have montaged two photographs together, not quite convincingly, but credible.I put the flowers into the picture and they seemed to fit very well. The whole image ‘works’ and there is some ‘movement’ too. I was very satisfied with the result.
