    This is a picture of a beautiful floral bath from a trip to Sri Lanka. The bath is full of flower petals and then small pieces of the petals were used to make the flowers on the outside of the tub. Comign back to this after a long day out site seeing was bombastic!

    Hope you enjoy - more to come[[​IMG]][/img]

    That's gorgeous BBB, similar concept to sand art, as delicate as a flower itself. Where in Sri Lanka was the photo taken?

    It was at Saman Villas - about 3 hours south of Columbo - It sits high up on a cliff overlooking the ocean. I have more info if you are interested PM me.

    Not meant to bathe in, meant to take a picture of. We have a favorite Thai resturant where the soups that are served are so delicate and beautiful that you hate to mess them up with a spoon. But they taste too good to leave alone.

    I'm glad you managed to suss out how to post piccies on the forums Andrew. What a great photograph - definately a work of art. Are the petals scented by any chance? I'm sure I can almost smell them from here. :D
