Sunshine has been something of a rarity here today. It got darker and darker this morning then rained heavily and by the time the sun actually came out I was teaching again and unable to use of it. Instead I decided to create my own little pool of sunshine and raided by button tin. This orange plastic button has some translucent stripes veins running through it and I lit it with a torch to bring out the vivid colours.

At first glance I thought it was a bowling ball. lovely shot MoMac · 2010-11-18: 16:23
