sunset on Tour Féalain

winter casts a long shadow

tour Féalain and friends

These trees are in planters along a pedestrian plaza in front of tour Féalain.  It looks to me that they are the cousins of the trees I know in the southeast US as crepe myrtles. According to Wiki, the crepe myrtle was introduced to Charleston SC by a French botanist in 1790.  That would make for a nice symmetry.

I don't use my telephoto lens very often, but I'm glad I have it.
