Have you thought of a little Johannesburg year book?<BR/>There are quite a few jacarandas in Perth gardens and the occasional glimpse of one in full flower brings instant memories ...Joburg,Bulawayo and Umtali streets where they were combined with brilliant red "flambouyant".

I remember the delight of a couple of jacaranda trees at the Abbotsford property on the Nahoon River. The the South Easter came through and - whoosh! - the mauve cloud was gone!<BR/>Your light and shadows are perfect.
