Royal colours - # 72/2011

Here's a bit of fun that's been around for a few years, but I've only just noticed it!!  Look up, People!! Look up!!!!


On the lamp posts at Ham Gate, entering Richmond Park, they have placed these delightful little royal crowns, sitting on their sweet little tassled cushions.  I've loaded the picture in a large(ish) size, so do click on it and enjoy the details in the crown and cushion.  By the way, I think the gas lamp is never switched off. Who remembers gas lamps? 

Three coloured umbrellas - # 71/2011

Lunch time colour - # 70/2011

Enlarge it.  You can actually count the little half moon bites in the sandwich.

Saturated colour - # 69/2011

We're back in Richmond.  Who says the UK doesn't "do" colour?

Multi-coloured Spontaneous Art Installation - # 68/2011

The painter's trestle in the boat-building yard at Richmond Bridge might do well in a gallery for expensive "modern" art. 

Multicolour - # 67/2011

The fruit market in Ventiglia. Typical!

Green - # 66/2011

You'll have noticed I'm playing a game around "colours". Colour is essential to Mediterranean life. It must have something to do with the abundance of brilliant sunlight.
