It feels like September brought its change rapidly on the heels of this year's hot Summer 🍂🌿. But even as we button up against the crisp air and wet weather, we're still enjoying moments of natural beauty in The Pines Garden. 🌧️🍁 #TheBayTrust #PinesGarden #AutumnInKent

Clifton Suspension Bridge in late afternoon autumn sunshine, from the Clifton side of the Avon Gorge. Brick “almost A-shaped” towers on either bank, with white-painted non-brick toppings. White-painted chains hang across the gorge, between the towers, holding the road and footways. Trees and rock faces dominate either bank of the gorge. A yellow sun is descending through the sky beyond.

A bridge pilgrimage. At @brunelsbridge.bsky.social yesterday, briefly experiencing its public-facing interpretation (with lessons for #ThePinesCalyx back at #TheBayTrust); had been with Bristol Uni’s very helpful Theatre Collection before, re TBT’s museum modernisation. I will be returning :-)

Shadows, from a slatted wooden bench and tall trees, stretch out across brightly-lit (from a low afternoon sun) grassland. A band of trees, peppered with pieces of white-painted houses, extends across the top third of the picture, beneath a clear blue sky.

Wood shadows, thrown by the afternoon sun, across #ThePinesGarden today. We’ve had a bushcraft workshop, as part of the Dover Youth Festival, and a Halloween-themed eco-crafts class here this week. Also, work on our new apartment now has a start date :-) #TheBayTrust
