Sunny Afternoon
Thursday 2nd December 2021
Took the afternoon off work because the sky was blue, and it seems a shame to be cooped up indoors this time of year with daylight such a precious commodity. Went to the heath of course.

On arrival on the heath, the view of the bandstand.

14:10:15
The view from the top of Parliament Hil this afternoon.

14:10:55

14:12:04
I thought this tree was looking especially picturesque in the winter sun this afternoon.

14:15:51
Looks like somebody has trimmed down all the foliage atop the barrow since last time I was here.

14:20:28
Vapour trail.

14:20:32

14:22:15
There had actually been a light dusting of snow earlier today.

14:23:03
Slightly unusual view towards the barrow.

14:23:07

14:29:29
Into the woods.

14:30:26

14:30:35
This tree had roses on it - I wonder if some sort of ceremony had taken place here?

14:34:16
I found a spot to sit at - the base of a favourite tree - and enjoyed the peace and quiet and the sun shining on my face through the trees.

14:34:21
Nice lens flare here.

14:35:25
I thought this might make a good background for a shot of today's wine bottle.

14:35:41
That's a bit more in focus - I think that's a pretty good shot.

14:36:14

14:36:34
Pointless video of the earlier scene.

14:48:41

14:52:46
I attempted to do some time lapse videos while I was sitting here but they weren't very successful. A dog almost immediately ran up to get in the way.

15:08:42

15:10:00
I constructed this circle of acorn cups for no particular reason.

15:10:13
Here it is in context.

15:12:23
More sunlight through the trees.

15:16:41
The barrow again.

15:16:45

15:17:36

15:18:40
A crow and the sun through the trees.

15:18:48

15:23:14
Back to the top of Parliament Hill to watch the sunset.

15:28:06
Timelapse of people milling about.

15:29:03

15:30:16
Umpteen photos of the sunset now follow.

15:30:21

15:31:47

15:31:53

15:35:49

15:37:45
As always partly obscured by trees.

15:40:17

15:40:47
Another bottle shot. This was the newly released 2017 vintage of Sugrue's Trouble with Dreams series.

15:41:20
...and the glass.

15:42:58
The London skyline.

15:43:06

15:44:24

15:44:28

15:46:07
Nice bit of lens flare here.

15:48:10

15:50:41

15:53:50
Nice wisp of cloud here I thought.

16:02:41

16:09:24

16:19:16
A collection of probably rather pointless videos...

16:21:29

16:22:07

16:23:39

16:24:09

16:24:22
A bench beneath the pink/orange sky.

16:24:28

16:24:47
Glass.

16:25:03

16:34:07
Heading home now.

16:35:04
Somme parting view of the bandstand.
