 I shot this one because of the purple car. It wasn't until I started processing that I noticed the jacaranda tree in the background. I just wish that that construction trailer wasn't in the background. 8(

If anyone is curious, jacaranda is pronounced "hack-ah-rahn-da". Unfortunately, those lovely, purple blossoms turn sticky when they hit the ground and mess up the sidewalks. But they are beautiful...

That combination is fantastic, and I didn't even notice the trailer. I love the car's paint job. There is a ute that I see locally with a rather similar one, but not so blue.

Looks like one of those iridescent paint jobs that looks different from different angles.

Those colors are just draw me into the photo. The trailed isn't much of an issue for me.

That looks like that color changing paint(when viewed from other angles), that kind of paint is expensive as all get-out! Very cool juxtaposition of color...someone was really paying attention and quick to react!

Looks like a 69 Camaro. Great job catching the two colors.

For some reason I don't find the trailer too intrusive. The paint job on the car looks iridescent. Nice catch with the matching colors!
