Crystal Cave

This is in the garden of a local shop that sells succulents, cacti, crystals and semi-precious stones. It has a very welcoming and tranquil quality

How unusual - a great use for an old bath tub!! Sounds like an interesting shop!!

[joey d.Muli]

Love the greens and cool tub idea !:)

Really magical "secret garden" feel to this shot...Did you use some subtle processing to create that or was it just natural lighting? A beautiful pic =)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That's a fun way to plant your succulents! Nice shot!

[Laraine Kensicki]

i like the angle of the shot, and the way the cactus is spilling over the edge, like an overflowing tub!

Great composition and lovely colours. I love the ladder behind the bathtub. Looks an interesting place.

[Karen H]

[Junan Heath]

Wonderful garden and beautiful shot!

I also want a bath and a wheel barrow in my garden. Hopefully I will someday. Beautiful photo.

@gazbadger I adjusted the shadows slightly otherwise no other processing. The weather was particularly foul and for a very short period the sun peeped through and I managed to get a few shots.

@kwiksilver Glad you noticed the ladder, I just love it. My friend (who owns and runs the shop) had asked if I would mind photographing the tub with the nasturtiums. I said I just had to include the ladder!

A real surprise - love the flowers spilling out of the bath tub.

[Katie]

Gorgeous spot - what a cool repurposing of the bathtub, and I like your word choice of 'tranquil.'

[summerfield]

i knew i was keeping that ladder for something, seeing this i just remembered the reason! :-) the colours are so cool on the eyes. great composition, sally.

[Cheri]

My bathtub overfloweth....or overflower-eth. ;-)
I love surprising things like this in gardens.
