The American lotus flowers in the lake have started to bloom. I think this was one was the first to bloom as it is the largest; there are plenty of buds for a spectacular show at the end of July.
I remember that in the '70s my mother had a lamp like this in the dining room of the house. They still sell them online in the vintage section.

Today the sun shone,following recent rainy days. Intense early morning light bursting into the room,casting shadows from the venetian blinds.The lines, diagonals and shapes and colour blocking seemed to present a photo opportunity in my eyes.

A single lamp post standing along the edge of a high rise building of residential flats in Sha Tin, mainland Hong Kong.
I was there in mid November last year (2018) on a mini reunion with my school friends. We had a fabulous time and I personally prioritised food and photography. Shopping not so much.
To those who have expressed worry for my wellbeing, these pictures were taken naclk in 2018, well before the current protest situation.
A lava lamp is a decorative lamp, invented in 1963 by British entrepreneur Edward Craven Walker, the founder of the lighting company Mathmos.
It consists of a bolus of a special coloured wax mixture inside a glass vessel, the remainder of which contains clear or translucent liquid. The vessel is placed on a base containing an incandescent light bulb whose heat causes temporary reductions in the wax's density and the liquid's surface tension.
As the warmed wax rises through the liquid, it cools, loses its buoyancy, and falls back to the bottom of the vessel in a cycle that is visually suggestive of pāhoehoe lava, hence the name. The lamps are designed in a variety of styles and colours.
Lava lamps are often associated with hippie culture and cannabis culture.
