Stark edge

Posted on January 19, 2017 by myeye1

I love the stark contrast of the white edges of the petals against the rich, inner burgundy, and the way they fold into each other makes the flowers looks elegant and complete.

Sprinkling of snow

Posted on January 14, 2017 by myeye1

We’ve had a couple of snow storms in London over the last few days, which has brought a lot of excitement with the freezing temperatures and stiff wind. It’s been a few years since we last had a good sprinkling and although it settled initially, the snow was gone overnight. I did manage to take a few photos before it disappeared though, and I’m aware I definitely need to work on my night-time photography

This is the garden swing that looked pretty with a light coating of snow.

I don’t know if we’ll get any more snow over the rest of the Winter, but if there is I’ll be certain to take some more photos.

Exotic Iris

I love the deep purple, velvety petals of this iris and the contrasting bright orange and white patterns, making this unusual looking flower look like an exotic bird at rest.

WPC: Curve

Posted on June 19, 2016 by myeye1

I love the curves of Arabic writing, the fluid, smooth strokes that form the words ‘Allah Hu’ or ‘God is’, words that look so complex but feel so simple and bring peace to heart and mind.

Fusion

Posted on June 9, 2016 by myeye1

I don’t know what these flowers are called but I love the way the lower petals are all white and the upper are blue, making it look like the two separate flowers have been fused together to make these pretty combinations. Also what’s interesting is how the anthers (the yellow bits with the pollen) are on the tips of the petals instead of in the centre of the flower. If anyone knows the name of these lovely flowers please, do let me know.

Elegant arch

These tiny, delicate Virginia sweetspire flowers grow along a thin, long stem, creating an elegant arch that I find really pleasing to the eye.

Curls

I’m not sure what tree these curly wisps are from but I think they make a really interesting picture with lots of detail drawing the eye. This image is in colour but at first glance looks black and white, giving it a wintry feel.

Giant fingers

Posted on October 21, 2015 by myeye1

On my last visit through Trafalger Square in London I came across this curious sculpture. It automatically made me think of Michealangelo’s famous painting Creation of Adam but there was no information about who or what these fingers were meant to represent. I have since looked it up and discovered that this is a piece by Jose Rivelino, a Mexican artist and is meant to represent equality between people. I really like the idea and I think this is an interesting and thought provoking piece of work. What do you think?
