FREEDOM LAWN

My colleague recently talked about this new wave of freedom lawn and it reminded me of these photos that I took recently on 5 Apr 10.

I first saw the allure of these flowering weeds (or more specifically grasses) on that morning when they were all flowering and waving their inflorescences against the sunlight. It created such a beautiful landscape that I couldn't help but took out my camera to capture these shots.
Frankly, when I showed these photos to someone, she didn't know it was taken in Singapore and specifically at HortPark because of the overgrown weeds. We all know this is not to be tolerated and a few days later, the grasses were mowed and this sight of illuminated grasses was a thing of the past.
