This is Ohno's pickle castor. One of my favorite things. I've tried photographing it a couple of times. This one has faired the best, so far.




Ohno was my great grandma on my mom's side. She would run around after my brother when he was little saying "oh no! Oh no!" to everything he got into. So she became Ohno.

Thanks for the comments!

I thought I had commented on that during voting ... clearly not ... I loved that red reflection and the composition with all the negative space. Congrats on the ribbon.

HAHA what a story, hilarious!

I love the pickle castor, it's beautiful. Not the red but oh well.

The red. Funny as it matches your lantern.

I love the simplicity, the shadow cast and the nearby window.

All the best. Just bumping this up.

Well balanced. The "window" looks vaguely familiar. :-)
