Project - Thistle

Thistles. I don’t know what their proper name is. I call them giant thistles. They climb to about 10ft/3m and look stunning. At the end of their lives, enormous seed heads that look like dandelion clocks. They get everywhere, including blocking up plug holes. I took a photo of one outside the White Rock Theatre and liked it. LINK.

I spotted some growing outside Marine Court.

I knew they where getting cut down and disposed of by the local council so I descided to rescue some. Three, to be precise.

Rustling up a make shift studio and fashioning a stem holder from rock and wire, of course I started photographed them.

Make shift studio in my cluttered flat.

I am processing the RAW files now. I will post results at a later date.
