I recently came across this group of thistles illuminated by the late evening sun. I was quite intrigued by the colours – they were pretty much as shown here – I only adjusted contrast etc,
This shot seems like something out of the land of Snow Queen – the only disappointment is that the main thistle isn’t razor sharp.
I enjoy capturing flora and have quite a collection of “nameless” flower photos. Every Sunday I will post a few of them. If you know the correct names, please leave a comment. I believe this flower is called St.John’s Wart – it would be interesting to find out how it got that dubious title.
