On arrival on the heath, with the sun setting somewhere over Hampstead.15:57:40
This tree on the way up Parliament Hill often makes a nice framing for the setting sun.15:58:02
Nice pink hints in the sky, and the London skyline beyond the bandstand.16:01:46
Lots of people milling about atop Parliament Hill today.
16:02:26
Settling down to watch the rest of the sunset.16:02:35
Official sunset time today was apparently 16:18, so it technically isn't fully there yet - but given the obstructions to the view of the horizon this was more or less the last glimpse of the sun.16:03:26
Nice light on the trees across from the top of Parliament Hill.16:04:16
Lovely pink tones.
16:04:38
Can see the moon here.16:06:12
Video of walking through the woods, with lots of bird song.16:07:37
The barrow.16:09:02
The view from the barrow, including the moon.

Brought along some of BBR's Nuits St Georges today, of which I wrote: "Abundance of fresh cherry on the nose. Palate alas has some untamed edges: needs more time. Tis but a baby."16:12:47
The view from the barrow again.16:13:01
Portrait orientation to try and emphasize the moon a bit.16:18:27
Of course attempts to get photos of the moon from a smart phone camera are always disappointing.

Dark now.17:20:34
Raising a glass to the moon.17:26:05
Attempt to take a Night Sight photo - and you can actually see a handful of stars there. Lens flare from the moon is interesting as well.17:40:34
Another Night Sight shot of my favourite bench by the barrow.
17:41:44
More Night Sight shots, but doesn't really work so well when hand held.17:44:18
The moon seen through this tree.17:48:05

Last shot from Parliament Hill before heading home.
