A black-and-tan Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in a red harness lying on the stone floor of Covent Garden's Apple Market, looking up, with giant golden Christmas bells and red bows hanging from the glass roof and lanterns glowing behind.

Under the Bells

The market hall, before the market.

Covent Garden with the market hall empty, the Christmas bells up, and a Cavalier lying on the stone floor without being stepped on. Low camera, wide aperture, so the bells and lanterns behind soften into shapes and the dog stays sharp. The red harness was not planned to match the bows. It did anyway.
