Cacti flower Near the law courts of Luxor


1500 lawyers 12 judges plus all the crooks including the police get to see this beautifull flower, thats if they can lift the nose off the ground, I wonder how many have noticed this plant.
the on duty guard gave me a very inquisitive look but no one else noticed the mad welshman taking photos of a cactuss flower. such beauty amongst all this evil.

its also one of the only plants the Muslims put on the graves. I took a distant shot of a bloom in the Sheik Aly Musa Mosque graveyard this last week. another one of these plants on the promanade has my name engraved on it . not by me but someone who could spell tony.
