45 wretched (640x480)

I’m just not in a wretched mood today.  Neither was my friend who tried to copy the wretched facial expression of the statue and failed – miserably.

For One Word Sunday. More utterly miserable, wretched photos to be found here.

Flaming red poker

A Kniphofia flower

and the real thing.

Orange is possibly my favourite colour.  I also really like red hot pokers, tritomas, poker plants, Fackellilien (torch lilies), Kniphofias or knofflers – whatever you want to call them.  How could you not like such a brilliant flower with such names!

Nancy over at A Photo A Week wanted to see some photos displaying orange.  More orange photos can be found here.

Can you read between those lines?

I came across this mural in München, Germany (Munich).  Intellectually, I understand the juxtaposition between war/war machinery and the beauty found in flowers and traditional ceramics and porcelain.  But overall – I am not really convinced that it works for me.
