Players enjoying their game of bowls on the bowling green at Kensington Gardens, Pakefield, Lowestoft.
Bowls is played on a square of grass called a green, which is divided into lanes called rinks. Players take turns to deliver their bowls from a mat at one end of the rink towards a small white target ball, often referred to as the ’jack’, situated near the other end. The bowls are shaped so that they take a curved path towards the jack, known as the bias.
The aim of the game is to get your bowls closest to the jack. One point is given for each bowl nearer the jack than the nearest bowl of your opponent. For example, if you or your team has three bowls closer to the jack than your opponent’s nearest bowl then you will score three for that end.

More bowls from one of the Turkish market stalls at the Tesselaar Tulip Festival. The more I look at these the more I wish I'd bought one. I also really like the the way the coloured lamps in the background match with the bowls and vases too!

An outtake for a threefer for the 365 (in the end I went for just the chair) as TGO came to help in his own inimitable way, so I don't think this chair could be regarded as empty.
It's neat how whitespace can be used to imply direction. The bowls toppling over almost feels inevitable.
This is my first entry in my endeavor to experiment more with minimalist LEGO photography. Each month this year I will be focusing on a different theme (people, shadows, lines, etc.).
This month’s theme is “people.”
But I did get given one when I was of school age !!
Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge - 19/08/2023 -- Kitchen Utensils .
This is a silver spoon - well silver plate , the hallmark on the back says " E P N S " ( Electroplated Nickel Silver ) and was given to me back in it must have been the 1960s by my Godfather , later to be my Stepfather . I cannot remember the significance of the Royal Emblem to the spoon , but I do know the spoon was something to do with Lawn Bowls which my Godfather played with a local team .
Anyway this little spoon has been with me for a very very long time and near enough most of that time has been used every day as the sugar spoon in the sugar pot by the kettle in the kitchen and as I am the only one to take sugar I am the one to benefit from it - therefore a very well used utensil !!

Yes, I caught the bowl! I invited Wiki to check out the still life and was ready.
A quintessentially English scene!

That is three bowls to the right, two in the middle and three to the left. They are of cast sahari (sahari is an alloy of copper tin and lead) and dates to the Nara period and the 8th century. This set is an 'Important Cultural Property' (重要文化財) - that is a term for items and structures classified by the state to be of particular importance to the Japanese people.
To quote the museum label (kindly offered in English too):
The seven smaller bowls can be stacked and stored in the largest bowl when the set is not in use. Bowls were the main items among the food offering vessels used for Buddhist rituals during the Nara period (710-794). Multiple sets are often included in temple inventories from this period.

Yes there is a mathematical equation I could conjure up for the ratio of the proportions of these but for this Flickr Friday shot let us just say small, medium and large mixing bowls.
I actually DID let these lovely wooden bowls get away on an online auction. I didn't need them, but they SURE are pretty and photogenic!

A pair of small urn-like bowls, in the British Museum, London. Unfortunately I have no idea where or when they originate, but suspect Middle-East, AD?
