Found this unique "planter" at the base camp for a raft ride we did on the Frazier River in Mount Robson Provincial Park. Chrissy wanted to bring it home and put it in our garden so we could hack off our homeowners association but alas the folks at the camp were reluctant to part with it. Oh well, probably for the best cause it definitely wouldn't have fit in out carry onsenlightened. All comments welcome.>=))>

Love this! Don't know the circumstances and setting you had given to you,  but seems very tight all around, definitely at the bottom.
What a find!

Hey Bill,
Well seen and what a great presentation. Lots of interest in this composition with good detail throughout. The lighting you managed is perfect and sets a mood that draws in the viewer in with enjoyable results.
I would consider cloning grass over the concrete block to make it go away, it seems out of place somehow and can easily be removed with little effort.
Wonderful Image . . .  laugh

Fantastic find and wonderful presentation. I don't mind the tightness at all. I do agree about the concrete block.  There is also a white object in the upper left corner that is a bit distracting. How was the raft trip? Love to see some images from it.

Very cool photo! Love the billowing flowers, the iconic Coke sign, and the way nature seems to be winning here. I can see why you'd like to take it home!
