A nice day out.

Travelled to Leicester on Wednesday for a nice day out. My hosts took me to Beacon Hill outside the city where the views of the Trent plain are quite remarkable. I’m pleased with the images I managed to capture on my new camera from the top of the hill. It was a really bright day, though cold. On top of the hill there is a very attractive craggy feature pushing out of the landscape. This made a nice panoramic.

I passed through London St Pancras as I was travelling by train to and from Essex. Captured a few nice nighttime images of the Christmas lights. People playing the pianos create a nice atmosphere in the station. There is however no Christmas tree at the station this year. Last year the tree was awful. This year there is a pink Eiffel Town monstrosity. Why can we not have a traditional tree in this showplace. I have not included a picture of it here, however if you use this link you can see it. All in all it was a nice day out. Two good journeys and lots to do in the middle.

Pictures from the Park

A series of images from Knighton Park in Leicester forms “Pictures from the park”. The title could add the words “in the rain” as it started raining just after we arrived. There are some lovely golden leaves falling from the trees. Others have fallen and lie on the ground. The park in question is Knighton Park in Leicester.

Two things might have improved the shots. Firstly, being there a week earlier. Secondly using a tripod. As it was a family walk there was not time to fuss with a tripod. Have a look at our other galleries of images from gardens using this link. View our website www.compassphotography.co.uk
