Another late afternoon / early evening visit to the heath.
London January 2022
John's Pictures

15:56:59
On arrival on the heath, with the sun setting somewhere over Hampstead.

15:57:40
This tree on the way up Parliament Hill often makes a nice framing for the setting sun.

15:58:02
Nice pink hints in the sky, and the London skyline beyond the bandstand.

16:01:46
Lots of people milling about atop Parliament Hill today.

16:02:26
Settling down to watch the rest of the sunset.

16:02:35
Official sunset time today was apparently 16:18, so it technically isn't fully there yet - but given the obstructions to the view of the horizon this was more or less the last glimpse of the sun.

16:03:26
Nice light on the trees across from the top of Parliament Hill.

16:04:16
Lovely pink tones.

16:04:38
Can see the moon here.

16:06:12
Video of walking through the woods, with lots of bird song.

16:07:37
The barrow.

16:09:02
The view from the barrow, including the moon.

16:09:50
Brought along some of BBR's Nuits St Georges today, of which I wrote: "Abundance of fresh cherry on the nose. Palate alas has some untamed edges: needs more time. Tis but a baby."

16:12:47
The view from the barrow again.

16:13:01
Portrait orientation to try and emphasize the moon a bit.

16:18:27
Of course attempts to get photos of the moon from a smart phone camera are always disappointing.

16:28:25

16:28:31

16:36:14
Looking in the other direction.

16:44:13

16:46:00
Taken by accident?

16:50:46

16:53:17

16:55:43

17:04:53
Dark now.

17:20:34
Raising a glass to the moon.

17:26:05
Attempt to take a Night Sight photo - and you can actually see a handful of stars there. Lens flare from the moon is interesting as well.

17:40:34
Another Night Sight shot of my favourite bench by the barrow.

17:41:44
More Night Sight shots, but doesn't really work so well when hand held.

17:44:18
The moon seen through this tree.

17:48:05

17:52:14
Last shot from Parliament Hill before heading home.
