***Latest Photos***
I realised that people weren't easily able to identify the most recent photos, so I've added this group for the latest ones. As new photos are added they will go into this group and older photos will move to their permanent home in one of the other groups. (Contains 27 photos)
 The Italian garden in Kensington Palace Gardens was created by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. It is situated at the North end of the Long Water (or Serpentine) which is the artificial lake created by Queen Caroline. The Fountains are situated at the point where the River Westbourne (one of the Lost Rivers of London) enters the Kensington Palace Gardens.The Fountains have recently been renovated, and notable among the refurbished fountains is one at the very end of the gardens, which now plays most impressively, for many years it only managed a faint half-hearted dribble. As the light was good I took a lot of photos of this fountain. I also took some photos of the area around the Long Water which also looked particularly attractive in the Winter light. | (Contains 43 photos)

 The light was simply too good when I arrived at work, so I set off along the towpath towards Richmond in the gorgeous early Autumn morning light | (Contains 50 photos)
 I woke to find a certain mistiness in the air, and rushed off to the parks. The amount of mist was very variable, the mist present when I arrived had cleared by the time I reached the bridge over the lake, then, suddenly, it all rolled back again! After about half an hour it cleared again, and there was a further hour or so of clear weather before it clouded over and the light went for most of the rest of the day. |
