This photo taken in London just recently shows how the city is changing in terms of its architecture and urban design. The photo shows a cluster of tall modern towers next to the ancient Tower of London, it is utterly strange to me and not an image shown in tourism promotion. If those modern towers had been built across the river I would have said ok there is distance and perspective but in this case, no I do not like it at all.

La Toussaint or All Saints day is 1 November on the liturgical calendar. The Feast day of all saints in the Catholic Church. Then All Souls day is 2 November, a day to commemorate all those who departed this life.
So I thought I would post some nature morte or still life paintings which I always like as a category of paintings in Museums. It requires a great deal of dexterity to be able to put on canvas such complex subject matter or to compose a tableau for the camera.
