Sprol at Ground Level: Las Milagrosas


Las Milagrosas, originally uploaded by Girlina.

Girlina happened by this humorous image of the urban landscape transformed into natural representations.

The bright pink of the gas meter warms what would otherwise be a cold image as the flamingo in its natural environment caught unaware, balancing as they do on one foot.

In the same way the residents of the urban jungle are often unaware as elaborate and ugly hardware and industrial flotsam are imposed on them by lowest-cost decisions made elsewhere. Or as their neighbors remove the trees.

This photo represents people endeavoring to overcome these limitations and restore nature to their concrete environs.

That, or the owners painted it because they didn’t afford a proper covering.
