Consider this a pleasant reminder that just a few minutes from Oxford Street is a free roof terrace with some wonderful views of the local area.

Twenty-nine sailors drowned when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in the Great Lakes' icy waters on Nov. 10, 1975. The ship was immortalized in a surprise hit 1976 folk ballad by Gordon Lightfoot.
50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald, a 'rock star' ship, sank in Lake Superior

A perfectly-timed autumn thunder storm ~ Every year, I hope for a day like this, & sometimes I get very lucky. This was more spectacular in person. #stunday #orangesun #eastcoastkin #artchallenge #autumn #autumnmood #fallfoliage #treephotography #autumntrees #landscapephotography #autumnlandscape
Photo: A single tree stands centered in a newly-harvested cornfield, ablaze in orange foliage. The sky above is an ominous dark grey, portending a storm. The edge of woods, out of focus, appears in the background, in autumn colors.

Lovely day for cycling through the New Forest today. Just about missed a shower at the end.
#trees #autumn #nature #woodland #forest #cycling
Gravel track leading uphill through autumnal trees. Stream flowing through forest with autumnal shades of yellow and gold in the surrounding trees and bracken.

Glorious day for a stroll in South London today including Burgess and Kennington Parks.
#sky #trees #walking #urbanwalking #london #walworth #kennington
Blue sky reflected in Burgess Park Lake with reeds and a small jetty in the foreground, trees on the far side of the lake. Sun shining through a large plane tree in Kennington Park against a clear blue sky with leaves fallen onto grass below.

Gloomy skies in London this morning so here's one I took last Monday in Brenchley Gardens for #BlueskyMonday
Autumnal shades of yellow and gold in the trees against a clear blue sky

Cycling is a totally normal sport where you can win a piglet and take it home.

Just one pedestrian killed by a pedal cyclist in the UK in 2024. 265 killed by cars www.gov.uk/government/s...
Who kills who chart showing most road fatalities are killed by cars. Most car casualty fatalities don’t involve another vehicle

It was worth delaying my morning walk until after the mist had cleared this morning. This the view from Pasley Park towards Elephant and Castle.

Almost clear blue skies punctuated by high rise buildings with small trees and grass of Pasley Park in the foreground

I hand over an invisible ‘Tree Of The Day’ award to the most charismatic tree I see on each of my walks. Here are just a few past winners of this esteemed but still largely unknown prize.
An angry man with branch hands pretending to be two conjoined Sycamore trees. A tree on Exmoor which has some fucking stories to tell even though it doesn't go around shouting about it. A tree on Dartmoor which, though old, is still quite cheeky, and likes using its branches to sneakily tickle cattle, ponies and people when they pass it. A tree which is so endlessly proud of the village where it lives that it stands constantly at the edge of it, constantly welcoming everyone who arrives, with a wave and a smile.

Sunrise over Brockwell Park this morning
Orange sun at sunrise shining through trees Slivers of orange sun breaking through red cloudy skies on the horizon framed by trees with grass in the foreground Red cloudy skies just before sunrise framed by trees with grass in the foreground Light clouds illuminated bright red just before sunrise with trees and grass in the foreground

Grey skies over South London this morning so here's a couple of photos from Sunday morning of sunrise over Peckham Rye Park
Narrow beams of dawn sunlight shining through trees with their trunks creating shadows across the grass Bright orange glow of sunrise emerging from behind trees across playing fields still in relative darkness

A bit of South London dawn from my stroll on Sunday morning.
Early morning sun breaking through clouds on the horizon, reflecting in the waters of Burgess Park lake with grasses in the foreground.

I’m on TV tonight! Check out the first episode of Britain’s Railway Empire at 8pm on Channel 4.

It’s a new, two part series about the history of the railways, starting with the Victorian Era. It’s not just a story about tech and engineering, but covers the social and cultural impact too.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
