These yellow coneflowers (the high-growing variety) grow in the same spot every summer in a front garden around the corner. The "house" to which the front garden belongs is more of a hut, and the owner or tenant built a recording studio with padded walls in the two tiny rooms. The adjacent house, the one that is the background of this image, is very old and battered, and it's under heritage protection. I assume that the owner, an old gentleman, can't afford the renovation which must follow the strict guidelines required in heritage protection. So one thing is clear: a future owner will have to put a lot of money and work into the renovation of that house.
There's a busy bee on top of the tallest flower. I just so managed to catch it before it flew away in search of more delicious pollen of which there is plenty in the front gardens.
For Sliders Sunday, I gave this image the full (well, not quite, but you get the point) Nik Collection treatment, adding the texture in Analog Efex, and the other processing was done in Color Efex.
HSS, Everyone :)
