More South Downs Landscapes
South Downs
In October we joined the Ramblers for a walk from Falmer to Rottingdean (a little over 7 miles) on the South Downs. I took a lot of landscape pictures of the lovely English countryside along the way (more to come in future posts).
As I’m just getting to mid-October pictures now in December I’ll revert to 2 posts a day until I’m a bit more caught up.
Panoramas from Chanctonbury Ring
Ramble
A couple days after our walk across the Seven Sisters we joined the Brighton Ramblers on a short (~5 miles) trek through the rolling countryside of the South Downs, beginning and ending at Salt Dean, one of Brighton’s villages.

The Chattri Memorial
Finally, after backtracking from poor directions, we made it to the Chattri itself.
Brighton & Hove Panorama
Good For You
A couple days after Ocean Beach and Mission Beach we went up to La Jolla. We got off the bus right in front of the mural above (I couldn’t get a wide enough shot so I did this clumsy in-camera stitched panorama, hence the barrel distortion). A hopeful sign.
San Diego Panorama
We walked back from Barrio Logan and I took this panorama along the way with more shots of abandoned and/or liminal spaces along the way.
View from the Oval
I had the great good fortune and honour to be invited to spend the first day of the September Test match between Surrey and Durham at the Oval, Surrey’s stadium (Surrey won by 10 wickets in only 3 days, retaining their title for a third year). The day included a tour of the historic stadium, its museum and library, and a visit to the roof, with its splendid views of London (see panorama above). Throughout the stadium are artworks depicting famous players and moments from its history, including the group portrait below.
Victoria Garden
Farnham’s Victoria Garden is across the street from us here. During Heritage Week we joined a tour and talk at the garden giving it’s history (it used to be a public bathing pool). Although I’ve taken pictures here many times before, I took a documentary sample (see below) again on the day.
Another Walk in the Park
Another walk in Farnham Park. As our time here nears to an end, we grow nostalgic an are driven to capture scenes we’ve photographed many times before (see below).
Cardiff Bay
A panorama of he Bay from the walk mentioned in yesterday’s post and a picture (below) of the Norwegian Church Arts Centre at the bay.
From the Heugh
Next we wandered up to the Heugh, a rocky ledge that may hold the foundations of the earliest church on the site (7th century). The panorama below is a gigantic file, stitched together from 14 separate shots. If you enlarge it you can see incredible detail throughout.
Mud Flats
Lindisfarne – Holy Island can only be reached at low tide when the causeway emerges from the North Sea, surrounded by wet sand and mud. It was a cold, windy, rainy day as we trekked the 6+ miles. (Click the images below o enlarge them.)
North Sea
The next day (Easter Monday), we set out from our hotel between Fenwick and Beal for the Holy Island. This rise gave us our first view of the North Sea, off in the distance.
Hill Descent
Some more images from the first few hours of our 14½-mile walk the first day (click on any of the images below to see them larger).
Night Out, London
We went to the West End Theatre at the beginning of the month (Hamnet). This was the view from the bridge on the walk back to Waterloo Station afterwards, with St Paul’s cathedral prominently lit.
Another View Towards Farnborough
