Temps de Flors

Here is my picture; it’s a flowery picture that was taken in May of 2014 in Girona. I’m the responsible of taking the Picture. This photo is from Temps de Flors, a flower exposition that is celebrated in Girona each year. Monuments, courtyards and gardens are all decorated with different types of flowers and colours. I took this photo because it was very colourful and different from other decorations I had seen before. As I said before, is a picture that was taken during the Temps de Flors exposition, is an amateur photo where the colours, the light, the composition are the originals, they haven’t been altered for this post. 

This photo was taken so that people that don’t know about this exposition in Girona gets to know it, by hanging the Picture on internet and also because it was one of the decorations I really liked from 2014 exposition. As I just said, is directed to any person that hasn’t seen the exposition, so they can see how wonderful and beautiful it is.

The artistic elements of this Picture are the flowers we can see on top of the ground, but really they are not flowers, they are black umbrellas that are painted with different colours and patterns, that represent flowers, also we can see boots painted with flower patterns and from inside them we can see how flowers are emerging.

I think that this exposition was done in this place because here before there was a river but there’s not any water so the ground is very dry and it only gets wet when it rains (that’s why of the umbrellas and the boots) and when it rains flowers grow so that’s why flowers are painted.

I have chosen this picture because I love going to this exposition each year, as I’m from Girona and also because are days that you can go with family and friends and have fun.
