Butterflies on a porch

These butterflies aren't fluttering by - but held in imaginary flight, both magical and compelling. If they were real and landed on a wall (unlikely) their wings would be raised and touching each other - while moths sit with wings folded flat.

This porch is in a row of small-fronted houses on Elizabeth Street in Redfern. The barred windows and doors (common in the area) show past problems, while the cheerfulness of the arrangement shows hope.
