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.

O Teatro Colón (em português Teatro Colombo) é a mais importante sala de espetáculos de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Inaugurado em 25 de maio de 1908, é um dos teatros de ópera mais famosos do mundo, desenhado por Francesco Tamburini e Víctor Meano.
Com capacidade para 3000 pessoas e em um entorno de estilo eclético, mescla do neo-renascentismo italiano e do barroco francês, o desenho do teatro apresenta uma rica decoração em dourado e escarlate. A cúpula mostra figuras pintadas pelo reconhecido artista contemporâneo Raúl Soldi.
Ao longo de sua história o Teatro Colón tem abrigado grandes personagens como Arturo Toscanini, Jane Bathori, Enrico Caruso, Maria Callas, Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti e Astor Piazzolla.
Também é um habitual cenário de espectáculos de balé e, ocasionalmente, de atos oficiais e privados e de música popular. Seu status artístico está arraigado de tal forma no imaginário coletivo argentino que se saúda ao grito de ¡Al Colón! aos triunfadores das mais diversas expressões culturais.
Desde novembro de 1989 o teatro é um dos monumentos históricos nacionais.
Dada a precária situação econômica argentina, nos últimos anos o Teatro tem vivido momentos de dificuldade, sendo atacado por alguns setores que tem posto em questão o financiamento estatal de seu elevado custo. Atualmente, em 2006, está passando por uma remodelação integral da sala, pelo qual sua atividade será limitada e fechará suas portas até 25 de maio de 2008 quando reabrirá para o Centenário de sua inauguração.

The Teatro Colón (Spanish) (Columbus Theatre) is the main opera house in Buenos Aires, Argentina, acousticly considered to be amongst the five best concert venues in the world.
The present Colón replaced an original theatre which opened in 1857. Towards the end of the century it became clear that a new theatre was needed and, after a 20-year process, the present theatre opened on May 25, 1908, with Giuseppe Verdi's Aïda.
The Teatro Colón was visited by the foremost singers and opera companies of the time, who would sometimes go on to other cities including Montevideo, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
After this period of huge international success, the theatre's decline became clear and plans were made for massive renovations. After an initial start of works to restore the landmark in 2005, the theatre was closed for refurbishment from October 2006 to May 2010. It re-opened on May 24, 2010, with a program for the 2010 season.
