Autumn Shadows



A stand of trees along the Thorn Rd bridleway.



Caught out our windows one September afternoon.

After Wimbledon Common we passed into Richmond Park where we saw some magnificent trees, some dead, some fallen (see below).














At the end of the field we took a turning we’d never taken before and found ourselves on a public footpath we’d never been on before. I’m always taken by these types of tunnels of trees, probably because of W Eugene Smith’s famous image, and I made several attempts.




Our walk behind the university car-park took us through a wild field in bright, midday sun (but no more than about 20° (68°F) where sheep were grazing.



In late August we took a walk along a footpath that starts at the Northwest corner of the University car park.




This year I finally made it to Rencontre d’Arles, the photographers’ equivalent of the Cannes Film Festival, as some have called it. Unfortunately I was staying at a super-budget hotel on the outskirts of town, about a half hour walk (or 20 minute bus ride) from where the festival was occurring – hence the view. More to come from opening week in Arles.
