Well, I complained that Tara's 'colour' theme for this week's Gallery was too hard because the weather was overcast and grey, and then the sun came out. So perhaps I should complain some more. Perhaps not.
Anyway, I'm not over-excited at my entry but I didn't have anything else to include. It was taken in Trafalgar Square about two years ago when I spent a birthday weekend in London with my family. We stayed in a very posh Mayfair hotel that charged £5 for a bottle of water and had a food menu that none of us could understand even though it was written in English, but that's another story.
I'm not sure what this is or what message it is trying to convey, if anything. It could be an unusual piece of artwork, a cryptic message, or just a display of colour, but I liked it.
I don't know why you were worried about posting this - it's brilliant. It looks like a photo-shopped thing where they just highlight certain colours (there's a word for that!!). Great colours against the grey, and also the red banners on the left add another dimension to it.

What a great picture the colours against the grey surroundings are lovely. I never see anything like that when I go to Trafalgar Square.

Is that what they've ended up putting on the 4th Plinth?
It's a great photo, Rosie :)

Love that photo. Love the artwork. Like the red posters on the National Gallery the best. Really well captured.

That is a lovely photo, Rosie. Well done!

I think you got IJ to climb up there and build something because there is no way that was put there for all to admire, surely? Surely?
I kind of like it, but not in the setting it's in - just wrong!

A great picture, just perfect for this week's gallery x

Strange modern art...
Something colourful and ultra modern on top of something old, with old architecture surrounding it... but oddly, I think it works!

I really like it! The colours look so vibrant against the always grey Trafalgar Square.
Hope you're feeling better now x

That's a lovely picture - I can't add to what's already been said!
I must go and find out what's on the 4th plinth nowadays.

That pic is fab Rosie. I love the angle you've taken it from. It almost looks unreal. Brilliant.

Great photo! As Selina said, Trafalgar Square is so grey that it's lovely to see a splash of colour in there.

I missed that installation - but have to say I love the colours and the shapes of it, not sure why but I do
