The online version of The Age newspaper has a section called My Melbourne. Melbournian are encourage to submitt photos of melbourne.

It is not a competition of any kind, but a showcase of melbourne and melbournians photographic talent.

I submitted a photo in October. It appeared on the My Melbourne site a week later, no big deal really.

But the image does carry sentimental signficance. I proposed marriage to my GF that day in Banksia Park. Of course i did not mention this in my submission.

For those of u who have not been to Banksia Park in Bulleen, a large Japanese Cherry Tree grove sits almost in the centre of the park. the foreground image is a detail of a blossoming cherry tree.

here is the submitted photo (yes the image is dull, but prints look just find)

cheers

Nice detail Genji. Is that your fiance in the photo?

A lovely shot genji - cherry blossoms are stunning and something I miss living in Sydney - but back in the UK they were the delight of spring.

very nice image Genji,

I assume she said 'yes' and this image will no doubt hold memories for you that last a lifetime

Congrats!

thanks guys

yes that is my fiance and yes she accepted lucky for me.

Well done mate!

If I was risking a metaphore, I'd say the blossom represents the spring of your love for each other...!

Definitely a keeper, make sure to back it up properly.
