Was feeling restless working today, decided I needed some fresh air and exercise, so called it a day at 3:30 and headed to the heath to catch the tail end of the sunset.15:48:33
15:48:38
The bandstand.15:49:19
There was a pleasing hint of mist on the slightly higher parts of the heath.
15:49:25
15:53:06
Very muddy underfoot though!15:53:10
15:53:56
15:54:25
Interesting effect of perspective creating by moving back and zooming, making the London skyline seem much closer than it really is on the top of Parliament Hill.15:54:46
Nice combination of mist and sunset around here.15:55:35
15:56:42
15:57:12
I really like this picture, the mist, the silhoetted trees and the fading light.15:58:05
A squirrel.15:58:10

The barrow, still a bit of light lingering here at 4pm.
16:00:37
16:22:47
I sat by the barrow for a while, without any wine for a change, and just enjoyed the peace and quiet.16:22:51
16:23:01
16:24:07
Nicely silhoutted barrow and still some hints of pink in the sky.16:24:18
A bit of the mist visible here as well.16:27:44
Heading home now.16:28:50
16:28:53
16:29:23
16:29:36
16:30:23
More mist.
16:30:38
16:32:30
The London skyline. Really must start bringing a tripod!16:33:06
16:35:52

16:38:21
16:39:34

The bandstand.20:36:08
Later on, in Jeremy's garden, where the plan was to sit outside and catch up around the fire with a glass of wine. I got the fire going while Jeremy was indoors for a bit attending to domestic duties.20:38:09
I thought it might be a case of an hour of faffing around to get the fire properly established, but it pretty much went with the first match.20:39:08
One of Jeremy's jobs is as a carpenter, and so we were burning some offcuts from his work.
20:39:18
This included some oak I think. It all burnt impressively well.20:41:45
20:42:10
20:45:16
I set up my phone to do a self timer shot here.
20:46:38
Me, the fire, and tonight's wine - some Rossignol Trapet Gevrey Chambertin.20:47:04
More shots of the fire.20:54:57
21:01:41
I ended up having a rather extended period of time sitting outside by myself in Jeremy's garden (about an hour!) while he attempted to deal with domestic issues indoors. Still I was quite happy, with the fire and the Gevrey Chambertin.
21:37:18
The fire later on as it was reducing to embers - I think Jeremy had finally joined me outside by this point.21:39:04
23:09:12
One final hurrah for the fire wih some old floorboards, before we called it a night.
