Floating leaf

I thought this was a nice photo opportunity; to capture a lone floating leaf in clear blue water which fills the fountains in Trafalger Square, London. I really like how the light dances on the surface of the water, creating a sense of movement with the worn tiles on the bottom adding texture and detail.

I’m not sure what these pretty flowers are called but they make me think they could be a type of thistle. I love the unusual shaped petals and the varying colours of the flowers and how they shoots out outwards and upwards. Do you have any idea what these are called?

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

Today is Eid-al-Fitr so I’d like to wish a happy Eid to everyone who is celebrating the end of Ramadan. I hope you all have a great day with family and friends and enjoy the delicious food. I also pray that people around the world who are in any difficulties are relieved of them soon

Glass bottles

bottles
I recently went to a fair where many of the stalls were selling lovely things. Among them I found these slim glass bottles with a blue-green hue. They contain perfume oils, also known as attar, which is a traditional Arabic scent that is concentrated so you only need to apply small amounts. I didn’t buy any but I thought they would make for an interesting photo
