Chestnuts


Traditionally the chestnuts ripen in time for the Fiesta de San Martin (Martinmass)on November 11th. This year they're already falling from the trees, which I suspect is one more sign of global warming. I picked a few to try a still life, just for fun.

The bowl is a replica (from ancient Babylon, I think) that I bought ages ago from a museum catalogue.
