Knowing Your Onions - a Natural Abstract

According to the Collins English Dictonary the old-fashoined saying, "knowing your onions" means that you know a great deal about a particular subject.

Having said that, I just thought they made a super natural abstract, and the phrase came to mind when I was thinking about a title.

I took this yesterday during a visit to Hinton Ampner House and Gardens - a National Trust property about a 40 min drive from my house. I was looking for something different to photograph rather than the usual architecture and flowers (although I did some of that as well).

I think it looks better viewed large, on black................give it a try!

I have often heard that saying Keith. You've made a brilliant job of this natural abstract! A few more there than I grew this year! If the weather yesterday was as good as here, you must have had a good day with the camera!

They were alway hung in the shed until required as I remember, a wonderful abstract but the colours and the textures make the image for me.

I prefer the large view, too. The wealth of intricate detail is much more apparent there, and more mesmerizing.

Thanks very much John............it was the detail that I liked and the reason I took the shot!

I have never heard that saying, but I am certain this makes a superb abstract. Or, it could also be an illustration of your passion for onions. ;-b

Thanks Diane.

I usually eat my onion raw - in sandwiches with cheese and tomato, but in far smaller quantities and you see here :-)
