Sometimes you have to be very lucky to get “that” photograph. On this occasion luck was on my side. Walking around the gardens at Polesden Lacey, I was attracted to my favourite flowers, Dahlias.
With very little breeze, and no movement in the air, it made photographing flowers a little easier. This was my first bit of good fortune, but to spot a bee pollinating one of the flowers, my luck was really in:
The bee also remained still long enough to take this picture. How lucky was I?
Readers of this blog must know that my favourite animal is the Meerkat. At Colchester Zoo, they have a lovely big enclosure, which gives visitors like me great opportunities to get some wonderful pictures:
Located outside the Gherkin building in London, and as part of the Sculpture in the City festival, a mysterious black box has appeared.
The box sized “Die” by Portuguese Artist João Onofre, is a cross between a sculpture and performance art. The box is totally inclosed, with no air in or out of it, but when closed, you can here a faint drumming noise, and when up close to the box, you can feel it vibrating. It was quite interesting watching peoples’ reactions to the sealed box. I’m not too sure many people knew what was going on inside the box.
So what is in the box?
The band trapped within the box is London-based Unfathomable Ruination, who describe themselves on their website as “unrelenting brutal Death Metal from the United Kingdom.” Today, they managed to play inside the sealed box for 19 minutes.
