Original – View of the Sky Pool at Embassy Gardens, London in September 2021, with coloured fringes due to stress-induced birefringence of partially polarised skylight viewed through a circular polarising filter.
Reason
Photo offers a striking view (the only one on Commons) of a unique structure, conforms to technical standard, is 12 MP, and illustrates a physical phenomenon (birefringence) at colossal scale. If possible, appearance on November 4 would mark the 323rd anniversary of the death of Rasmus Bartholin who discovered birefringence.
