Wordless Wednesday: Urban Nature Scapes (France)


Tree-lined avenues, well-manicured lawns, and beds of cultivated flowers are the parts of nature many urbanite come to know and love.  This is our green space, our comfortable wild oasis.  And oasis is really the best way to describe it - a little hint of happiness from the surrounding sea of other. 

Here are some nearly forgot-I-had-those-uploaded- pictures from my visit to France last year.


Sycamore trees along the Paris Avenue.


Cultivated and very well-landscaped lawns of Rennes.



More pretty scenes in Rennes. (This park reminded me so much of Tower Grove Park in St. Louis, the part by the Palm House.)

Definitely some amazing urban forestry there. I have always wondered about the flora and fauna of that zone, thanks for depicting it so well.
