Just me and an English Longhorn in Wanstead Park this afternoon. Who says London is all grime and grit and crowded tube carriages…

A striking black and white photograph of a bare winter forest with tall, leafless trees standing in rows. The forest floor is covered with fallen leaves and scattered with weathered logs and decaying wood. The stark contrast and monochrome treatment emphasizes the skeletal branches against the pale sky, creating a moody, atmospheric scene that captures the quiet solitude of the woods in their dormant season.
Here's a recent #infrared snap from #WansteadPark.

Today the Friends were pleased to welcome members of the Planning and Conservation Working Group (PCWG) of the London Parks and Gardens Trust to #WansteadPark. We are grateful for their interest, and will continue to liaise with them as plans for the park develop.
A serene autumn woodland scene with tall, slender trees creating natural corridors through the forest. The forest floor is completely blanketed in rich brown fallen leaves, while the canopy above displays golden and yellow foliage still clinging to the branches. Late afternoon sunlight filters through the trees from the left, creating warm, dappled lighting that illuminates the textured bark of the trees in the foreground. The composition draws the eye down a natural pathway between the tree trunks, creating depth and perspective in this peaceful deciduous forest setting.

Here's a late afternoon shot from #WansteadPark - this is the well known bluebell site, Chalet Wood, but it's gorgeous this time of year too.

This view was captured on 8th December 2021 at 08:46. The captured image looks over a lake with the red sky reflecting in the water. It was the talk of the town as everyone close by stopped to watch this view unfold. Nature and beauty.
A red sky at morning, December 2021.
Let's see what tomorrow morning will bring.
