An early evening view through the park towards the west. This is Chapelfield Gardens in Norwich, UK. The viewer stands at the T-intersection of the pathways. It’s May and the leaves are bright green, as is the grass. However, because of the low sun in the distance beyond the park, color is retreating into shadows. There are two trees in the foreground: on the left we see the young leaves with still much light and space between the branches. On the right, nearer the viewer, is an already flush large tree with branches that reach out over the path that passes between the trees. At this Golden Hour, this tree is now almost completely in silhouette. Near the tree on the left, and beside the path where it takes a corner from the left, is a large cement ball on a flat plinth. There is no sign, and so it is difficult to know if it’s a deterrent for bicycles cutting the corner across the grass, or an artistic element added for fun. In the middle of the image, further along the path, we see two individuals walking away into the ‘almost sunset’, approaching a large central circular open space. This is where community meets. Soon, on the left, they will pass a quiet, white-pillared bandstand, wrapped with an X-design balustrade, and encircled by luxuriant flowerbeds. It's topped with a red-tiled, peak-roof - and is, again, topped with a louvre-paneled cupola, with it’s own echoing miniature red-peaked roof. Around the edge of the large open circle there are regularly spaced benches facing the bandstand; here people gather to enjoy entertainment from featured guests during festivals and other special days.
