NOTE..
I decided to enhance this shot. The eagle is the same but cropped in closer and I Photoshopped the sky. I don't usually do this but I felt the eagle was a good capture but diminished by the dull sky.

Step into a wonderland of sweets, sparkle, and seasonal tradition at Fortnum & Mason, the legendary London department store that has defined luxury and refinement since 1707. This image captures the store’s famous confectionery counter during the Christmas holidays, where color, craftsmanship, and tradition merge into an unforgettable retail experience.
At the center of the photo stands a towering glass apothecary jar filled with sugared almonds, surrounded by glass cases overflowing with seasonal pastries, biscuits, Turkish delights, and hand-wrapped sweets. Jewel-toned gift boxes wrapped in red ribbons and Fortnum’s signature eau de nil turquoise are stacked like treasures beneath a golden chandelier. Overhead, a vintage-style crystal chandelier glows warmly, suspended beneath a gilded ceiling rosette—adding an extra touch of old-world elegance to the festive scene.
The store’s red carpet and white-marble countertops lend an air of formality to the indulgent displays, while crowds of bundled-up holiday shoppers bustle in the background. Each customer seems as enchanted as the last, moving through an atmosphere filled with nostalgia, luxury, and joy. In the distance, a Christmas tree adorned with bright baubles anchors the holiday spirit, while signs politely direct guests to “Please Pay Here.”
This isn’t just a food counter; it’s a ritual, a pilgrimage, a spectacle. At Christmastime, Fortnum & Mason becomes one of London’s most beloved destinations, especially for those in search of decadent hampers, rare teas, seasonal preserves, and once-a-year indulgences. Many Londoners and travelers make visiting Fortnum’s a cherished annual tradition, drawn by the elegance of its holiday displays and the romance of its historic interiors.
Founded in the reign of Queen Anne and still holding multiple Royal Warrants, Fortnum & Mason is an icon of British heritage. Every detail, from the handwritten labels on sweets to the layout of the confectionery itself, is steeped in a commitment to presentation and experience. During Christmas, this devotion reaches its peak—delivering not just products, but lasting memories.
This photograph preserves that memory in vibrant color and warmth. The golden tones of the chandelier light up the delicate textures of spun sugar and polished marble, while the shoppers’ expressions hint at the awe that Fortnum’s inspires. Every wrapped package is not just a gift, but a symbol of tradition and joy shared across generations.
For fans of holiday travel, London at Christmas, or luxury retail photography, this image offers an inside look at one of the world's most enchanting seasonal scenes.

There are lots of geese traveling up and down the river this time of the year. This trio looked nice flying overhead into the morning light.
Just a snapshot. Not totally sharp and a difficult shot from the darker forest into the sky. Resulted in an underexposed bird with some sensor banding on the bird's body and big effort to brighten up in post. ISO 800 would have helped with the dynamic range.
