Angels climb this green stairway to heaven. Probably not, but if I were an angel, I’d climb up it’s such a wonderful way to turn a drab concrete apartment into a natural oasis

I love these! Great shot too btw! There has been an up rise in these kind of buildings. They just built a hospital here that has all green roofs and balconies like this. Way cool.
Hello Kim, the green news you shared is very welcome news. Everyone is avoiding the huge elephant in the room which is that our little planet is too densely populated to keep sustaining itself unless something drastic is done and the lateral building construction idea will soon be a thing of the past because people will need space to plant food and space to grow trees just to make air to breathe. The vertical building concept will likely be the most sensible accommodation plan for the future. Regards, Andre’
What a wonderful way to green up concrete balconies.
I believe growing plants, food and other plants is a way to clean the air…Very good idea.
Great idea for plantation , Indeed very creative
Beautiful photo and a rather dizzying effect, I love what it looks like,
There are no flowers I notice but in London where we spent a couple of days I saw this and there were beautiful flowers too.
I know one, who thinks her disguise is working perfectly, but, every once in a while, she adjusts her shining Halo and I see right through the gossamer cloak of her disguise…
I am not sure it’s a great idea. I can imagine water running where it shouldn’t.
Ghostwriter, you are probably thinking I am going to disagree and you would be right of course. From a safety engineer’s point of view, it is a death-trap waiting to happen but I guess, I have become so “green-starved” that I could not help feeling for those unfortunate other beings locked into their own gray pieces of the concrete jungle and not being able to simply stare into the greenness.
There are plates kept under them for water to stay there and not drain off I had a balcony garden when we were living in an apartment and saw to it water did not flow down
I say why not plant shrubs any place you can find! We never know where the angels walk or climb in this life.
You sure got that one right, Carol. You know, when those “strangers”, (angels) asked Sarah if she had ever seen God, she replied: “The only God I have ever seen, is the one that lives in my husband.” To which one of them replied, saying: “Blessed art thou.” If the strangers were Angels, they certainly did not look like the Hollywood variety, in fact, they appeared very human to her. We sometimes get carried away on the wings of imagination, perhaps we add the tinsel and glamor because we feel so let-down by ordinary people and yet, how often are we not amazed at some overwhelming acts of kindness and bravery, above the call of duty performed by everyday people, when we see through the non-judging eyes of Jesus, we see them as Angels.
There are many walking around is disguise.
