Homage to Gustav
In recent years the Tower of London has really made great use of the land immediately surrounding the high walls, and this year is no exception.
Known as Superbloom, a wild-flower meadow has been created to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Several years in the planning the project included bringing in 10,000 tonnes of soil to landscape and flatten the ground, before sewing some 20 million wild-flower seeds. The sewing has been timed to generate a display in June that runs through to September.
This (and one or two other takes) was unashamedly influenced by some of Klimt's work.

Apologies for lack of activity recently - got a bit jaded with trains and Flickr generally, but will be attempting to catch up over the next few days.
