My type of shot, wonderful. What is it? A double hydrant cut off? I see a flange to the right and maybe there are two more underneath on the parquet floor? Nice puzzle. PostEdit: Alternatively maybe a wall-mounted Victorian domestic heating oil supply valve (main and standby tanks)?

C. 'China Clay'
Camellia x williamsii (Hybrid Camellia)
They are the result from the cross of Camellia japonica and Camellia saluenensis, and bloom in the winter months.

Thank you, have not seen one such before, was going to alternatively suggest 'Primavera'. 'China Clay' sounds like a true Cornish hybrid (cf St Austell). The williamsii typically have a useful habit of politely self dead-heading after flowering. Some of my sasanquas flower really early (September) so I can expect Camillia blooms from September to around May each year - all with so very little attention needed. When the gardens open up again after winter and/or Covid-19 I'll be sleuthing down my opportunities for the whites with my Q2M.

You have a sharper eye than my lens at f/1.7!  Correct, one flange to the right, and two more on which it rests on the floor.  Old part of a bilge pump.

Mmmm... my eyes are really not brilliant but I still have a declining number of brain cells with adequately firing synapses🙂 Our posts crossed too. I'm itching to get back to visit an old mansion further up the county where I was unable to properly image a magnificent polished brass hydrant in the necessary gloom. The Q2M should be really up to the job.

I like the way you work at solving the image. My cerebral function is impaired by a database that is too large and a processor that is too slow!

Cheers. As for that processor just apply the 'Pareto principle' ...do the 20% that achieves 80% of target.

I've been there several times but never came away with images this nice.

Thanks Brent, very kind of you - I visit the place year-round, and just the occasional snow/ice stops me (well, they close the place). 

Nice website btw - really outstanding work you have been doing.

Good. White bridal dresses are REALLY difficult to capture, what with all the various textures of the material, embellishments and lighting ...not to mention the bride's skin tone. Was this a dry run before the event?

No, just a shop I found that was closed for the day.
