The yellow flower is Senecio inaequidens, an invasive species from South Africa, now spreading rapidly in Europe (its Norwegian name contains "boer" to stress the origin. Don't know the English name, the genus is Ragwort). It is poisonous to livestock.

Thanks Bjørn.  According to a Dutch flora site the name is Narrow-leaved Ragwort (or South African Ragwort) In  Dutch it is Bezemkruiskruid, no relation to Boer there ;)  http://wilde-planten.nl/bezemkruiskruid.htm

It's so invasive that it pops up in my front door...

I see it everywhere along the major roads when I visit my Dutch friends. Must have become very common.

Yes, it's a general species here. The plant apparently came with the import of wool. It established it's position between 1925 and 1949. (according to the earlier mentioned website)

Found this whilst looking for the Senecio in my archives. Don't remember if it has been posted before, though.

Going through my hard drive full of photos I stumbled upon this minimalist photo I took in Cres, Croatia back in 2010.

Show me how you see minimalism! :)

Beautiful picture.

Unfortunately, not very minimalistic, just what I found from a quick search.

Agreed, not minimalistic, but very striking.

Catching up with this thread; tons of great photos!!

This one has your signature all over it. Is that a frozen river?
