Yellow hot

I’m a lucky Londoner, enjoying a commute to work that is a mere 15-minute walk. It takes me through an area of the White City estate, a housing area that has seen better days. I have the space for observation on my walk, and noticed a waste area has been landscaped and planted out.

At the moment it’s bursting with a patch of yellow Kniphofia – striking flowers also known as Red Hot Pokers. I had to stop off and capture this sight using my 60mm macro lens – a natural flash of inner city colour.

Wonderful shots Mike and that lens has worked a treat, but then it is down to the camera operator to see the image in the first place. Hope you have a great week

  Thank you James, I really appreciate that. Just a little clump of colour that I couldn’t ignore. The lens works effectively at greater distances as well. I hope everything is well and good for you in the summer sun :)

  Thanks Andy. This part of the walk is the least salubrious, but has been enlivened by these blooms.

Lovely images… Odd that they’re neither red nor hot, though, lol… :)
