I walked across Trafalgar Square on my way to the Mall Galleries to take my turn stewarding for the Society of Women Artists' exhibition. On the front of the National Gallery there was a section of living wall made from about 8000 plants and based on A Wheatfield with Cypresses painted by Van Gogh.
You can click on the images to make them larger.
I was amazed to see the size of it and the different textures together echoing the lively and textural brush marks of Van Gogh. The figures in the photo give a sense of scale.

I was also wowed by the ship in a bottle that is the current occupant of the fourth plinth.
I walked around the square to see it from different angles and perspectives.
