Are you all enjoying an egg-cellent Easter? My camera and me certainly are! During my student\u00a0life, \"Egg<\/a>\u00a0everything was about researching, studying and putting together abstracts for presentations during my holidays. After that, I started to enjoy the small aspects of Easter, such as egg hunting!<\/p>\n

I enjoy egg-hunting and chocolate eggs\u00a0a lot. So, I decided to join in The Faberg\u00e9 Big Egg Hunt<\/a> in\u00a0London.<\/span><\/p>\n

Egg hunting in Easter belongs to the Anglo-Saxon culture. It was popularised in the rest of the world through the usual means, I guess – as a children\u00b4s game! However, I didn\u00b4t see that many children in the egg hunt exhibition today, nor that many Easter eggs for kids in the supermarket.<\/p>\n

The Big Egg Hunt is quite a novel marketing tactic for charities and a great way to raise funds for a number of worthy causes. Egg-cellent, isn\u00b4t it?\u00a0The 200 eggs had been designed by artists, and were dotted all around\u00a0London. Egg-hunters needed to find and collect them using text messages or a QR code to get the chance to win a real Faberg\u00e9 egg worth thousands of pounds.<\/p>\n

Members of the public can bid in an online auction to own one of these eggs.\u00a0They are all in an exhibition in Covent Garden Piazza until Monday.<\/p>\n

We found some very plain eggs, but some others were truly amazing, like these ones\u00a0covered in mirrors and\u00a0little porcelains:<\/p>\n

\"Egg\u00a0 \u00a0\"Egg\u00a0 \u00a0\"Egg<\/a><\/p>\n

Some others were covered in fabric or were arty in different ways:<\/p>\n

\"Egg<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"Egg<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\"Egg<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"Egg<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\"Egg<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, eggs are generally\u00a0not empty, right?<\/p>\n

\"Egg<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"Egg<\/a>\u00a0What\u00b4s inside? The Universe…\u00a0\"Egg<\/a><\/p>\n

Some were quite\u00a0funny and arty!<\/p>\n

\"Egg\u00a0\u00a0\"Egg\u00a0\u00a0\"Egg<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Egg<\/a>\u00a0\"Egg<\/a><\/p>\n

Some\u00a0luxury was there too:<\/p>\n

\"Egg<\/a>\u00a0\"Egg<\/a>\u00a0\"Egg<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, I got my own egg!<\/p>\n
