I came across this sundial in a local park and thought it was a lovely addition to a pretty garden, perfect for the Summer sun

Egyptian carvings
I came across these carvings in Harrods recently, in an area called the Egyptian escalator (which did include an actual escalator too) and thought they looked really realistic. There were lots of Egyptian carvings, patterns and statues dotted around, all with lots of detail and intricate patterns.
I hope to go to Egypt one day and see the real tombs and pyramids which are seeped in history, but for now maybe I’ll visit the British Museum and see the Egyptian exhibitions there
A red drop
I was out and about in London, Knightsbridge recently and came across this interesting art installation.
I have no idea who created it or what for but I really like the layers of glass that have been used to build up the drop in a vivid red colour
I would love to hear from you if you have more information about this artwork. In the meantime I’ll just enjoy it as it is and keep an eye out for more interesting objects about town
Still life roses
I thought I’d try and take different kind of picture with these roses instead of my usual macro shots. Seeing these sitting in a pretty vase made me think back to the still life paintings in my art books from the Renaissance period, which were wonderfully done, with lots of colours, details and depth. I know that this photo is quite simplistic in comparison to those grand paintings and I’ve used a camera (because my paintbrush skills are no where near as good as I wish they were) but the composition gives it the same feel and I think lets you see the colours and details by standing back to admire the whole scene instead of up close and just seeing parts.
What do you think of my attempt? Do you think my photo could resemble a simplistic version of a still life painting or am I just being overly hopeful?
