You need to click on the image to fully appreciate this scene. Whilst this post is entitled “Still Life” in actual fact it represents a snapshot in time. The beer was quickly consumed whilst the plant remains in all its plastic glory.
The picture was taken at the Tower Hotel in Lincoln during the England v Scotland rugby. Useful historical association 🙂
