18:49:32 On arrival on the heath, it initially seemed like a normal, pleasant evening heading towards sunset. | 18:49:44 Rather interesting and dramatic clouds though. | 18:50:35 The usual view of the bandstand. | 18:52:35 As I headed up to the top of Parliament Hill though, I started to notice a sort of mist creeping up the slopes. |
18:55:02 Little wisps of mist here looking over towards Highgate. Rater picturesque this evening. | 18:55:24 The mist then seemed to creep up the hill a bit more - perhaps combined somehow with the fading light. | 18:55:40 ...and it started to become very atmospheric. | 18:58:50 Here I am sat on a bench amidst the mist. |
18:59:43 Slightly grey looking down towards the centre of London. | 19:00:02 Other people had clearly stopped and noticed the pleasingly picturesque quality of the views this evening. | 19:05:06 Then as the sun started to set, it started to get really quite misty. | 19:06:43 ...and then couple with that little bit of fiery pink of the sunset, it made for a great effect. |
19:07:25 I particularly like this photo with the chap who helped to frame it somehow. | 19:08:11 Video of the strange scenes atop Parliament Hill this evening. | 19:09:49 | 19:10:02 |
19:10:17 Really very atmospheric - I was so pleased to have been here for this moment. | 19:10:21 | 19:13:42 | 19:13:46 |
19:16:50 | 19:25:41 I decided to go for a walk and see how the rest of the heath was looking in these unusual conditions. I like this glimpse through the canopy of this oak tree. | 19:25:47 | 19:26:25 The woods, looking pleasingly crepuscular, although not much sign of the mist here. |
19:28:05 The barrow. Only slight hints of the mist here, but still adding a bit of mystery to the scene. | 19:29:00 | 19:29:39 | 19:30:11 Looking into the barrow. |
19:31:22 The view from the barrow - with a bit of mist. | 19:31:26 Somebody had left one of those rental bikes here. | 19:46:04 Video of the misty hillside. | 19:49:52 |
19:50:09 Me enjoying the gloom on my favourite bench by the barrow. | 19:50:19 | 19:55:26 Not sure why this was necessary. | 19:56:48 The bike still there. |
19:57:20 Getting a bit dark now. | 19:59:30 | 20:00:10 Night time video of the heath. | 20:03:01 |
20:04:17 | 20:05:57 Back atop Parliament Hill. | 20:06:14 | 20:12:59 Good night Hampstead Heath! |
