Foggy Roundwood Park

A wonderful foggy November morning in Roundwood Park, feeling like Sherlock Holmes out in the London Smog solving one of life's great mysteries.  Not many people out, only the hardened dog owners and prospective Premier League football players.   The fog is super atmospheric and gives nature an eerie and close feeling.

Autumn in Kenwood / Hampstead Heath

It's that time again to change the summer wardrobe to winter clothes, to get the wellies out and watch the leaves fall.  Nothing more magnificent than a potter in mild temperatures, a deep blue sky and wine coloured leaves falling like snow.  A walk on the wilder side of London leaves one feeling that maybe the winter is survivable!

Nature en Marseille

By the wonderful tumbling water feature in the centre of the Parc de La Campagne Pastré, a silky swaying grass has been planted alongside the bank.  The grass (possibly a Fountain Grass) is irresistible to caress and often one surprises the frogs enjoying the tranquility of the scene.

One can see the grasses running across the bottom third of the image below.  From the Parc Pastré, one can hike to the Calanques in twelve hours.  The route is variable and a map, plenty of water and sustenance is vital.

Within the wooded area of the childrens' adventure park are some beautiful crumbling tree barks, often embedded with fungi.

Spring is in the Air, Hyde Park

Lovely to see blue sky and feel the warmth of the sun on ones faces, though it was cold with arctic winds.  Weather for the soul.  One can feel that spring is desperately trying to establish itself and that if we are lucky summer will follow.

Regent's Park

It doesn't really look like Regent's Park but this is taken from the bridge between the mosque and the playing fields, near the boating lake.  It's has a slightly Japanesy feel to it, but the plastic bottle floating in the water (which I have airbrushed out) places it in England.
