Just a funny scene I got in the town of Colonia (Uruguay), kinda of special place to grow plants... Here I add some information about the city.

Colonia del Sacramento (known as Colonia), is a city in southwestern Uruguay, by the Río de La Plata, facing Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is the oldest town in the country, founded in 1680 by the Portuguese. The historical parts of Colonia are named by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1995, due to the beautiful fusion of Portuguese, Spanish and post-colonial styles. It is a popular tourist attraction for visitors from Buenos Aires, and there is frequent ferry service across the Río de la Plata between the two cities, with hydrofoils requiring just 50 minutes for the journey. The historical section of Colonia has some cobblestone streets built by the Portugese in the 17th century.

Una escena "diferente" en Colonia (Uruguay), extraño el lugar para practicar la jardinería, no??? Adjunto algunos datos turísticos del lugar:

Colonia del Sacramento (conocida como Colonia), es una ciudad en el sudoeste de Uruguay, sobre el Río de La Plata, frente a las costas de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Es la ciudad más Antigua del país, fundada en 1680 por los portugueses. El centro histórico de Colonia fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 1995 al ilustrar la fusión exitosa de los estilos portugués, español y post-colonial. Por su proximidad con la ciudad de Buenos Aires tiene fuerte vínculo con ella. Son numerosos los viajeros que llegan y parten con ese destino en viajes en catamarán de sólo 50 minutos. La parte histórica de la ciudad posee varias calles de adoquines construidas por los portugueses en el siglo XVII .

I think tourists would come just to see that car! TFS a pic of such a unique planter

Hi Maria,
Funny scene. It looks like a car left there years ago and the plants have invaded it. Somehow I'd think that for such a nice car decoration, there would be a plant that looked less wild. Well framed shot. Sunny walls provide strong contrast.

Hi Maria,
This is very funny. Since when did plants start driving? ;) or must have been sitting in there too long that even plants got bored. Nice classic car. Good colors and details.
Regars,
Claire

Ola Maria,
Interessante e curioso este carro servindo de adorno de rua, aqui no Brasil ele seria multado e rebocado pôr abandono. Gosto como enquadrou, boa perspectiva, cores bonitas e ótima agudez. Tfs
Abraço

Hi Maria, just nice and interesting shot! Very attractive!

TFS and regards,

Hillariously ironic flowerpot :D
A bit centered, but excelent POV anyway.
The other plants in the frame add to the "green" feel of it all, as if nature is reasserting itself on the civilisation that sought to strangle it.
