Today was a good sunny day and I decided to shoot the place where the most beautiful jacaranda tree in Sydney grew not so long ago. It was in the courtyard of the main building of the University of Sydney. Blooming in late spring at the end of the academic year, it became closely associated with examination time at the university. It has formed the background to many events, and the original tree was on the City of Sydney's Significant Tree Register. At the University of Sydney, students say: "Start preparing for the exams before the jacaranda blooms. Then it will be too late." No wonder the jacaranda is known here as the "examination tree".

My front yard. They are a mess twice a year, but glorious. Excellent wood for smoking, by the way.

I discovered the jacarandas in Lisbon. Oh, the smell, the colors! If you visit Lisbon, make sure to visit it during jacarandas blooming :)
