Walk in the park

Fascinated by the reflections, I thought this photo tells its own story.

Change of season

Back in time in the park and at the spot to document the change of season marking the visual of the park. This has become a little pet project. I always thought I was well aware of the seasons but narrowing it down to the same place, same angle has focused my attention in a completely new way.

Change of season

Back in the park, at 'my spot' to note how the seasons change the environment and it's visual, the light, shade and colours. And how this change impacts on people.

Change of Season

Back in the park at 'my' spot, I took another photo to document the change of season. And I am amazed how much I am learning with this. As the seasons are quite pronounced in London, I was always aware of the change, but had not really picked up on the subtleties and little details that get caught in a photo.

Urban wildlife

While walking in Rio de Janeiro's neighbourhood Leme, I came across the Marmoset or locally called Micos, little monkeys found along the Brazilian coast line. This species is said to have been introduced from the northern state of Bahia and have settled so successfully that biologists fear they are becoming a problem to local wildlife. In Rio they have become used to people and were utterly at ease in our presence. A couple of shots, I could not miss.

Change of season

Back in London and finding the city utterly changed over the last two weeks, I went out this morning to visit 'my spot' to take note of the change. It's been two weeks since I stood at this spot in the park. There is such power and energy in Spring and I'm amazed about the sudden explosion of foliage and flowers everywhere.

Park view

Catching the morning sun, the sight of typical London houses with their roof extensions overlooking the park.

The invitation

Would you like to take a moment? Unspoken moments. I felt drawn to this bench and the shadows cast around it by the trees.

Morning walks

Exploring the change of season, I went back to take a photo of the same scenery. This is an ongoing project over the next months to explore how the light, colours and textures change during the year.

Winter

Living in London, weather, as much as change of season, is an ongoing theme. Going back to the same part of the park where I took a picture the other week, I thought that this stretch allows me to follow up on the changes we go through in this part of the world, and to catch the different mood, colours, light and shades.

Winter mood

Tempting to think the photo is underexposed, but it was simply another gloomy winter morning, with a bit of a hint of white on the branches of the trees.
