Cold Day | Warm Reception

I was out in West Dulwich the other day as I had hoped to go to the Norman Rockwell exhibition, unfortunately the Picture Gallery was closed as Tuesday was a bank holiday. So instead of turning about and going straight home I took a walk with my friend and camera to the local park.

Dulwich Park was quite busy considering how cold it was, quite a few young families with children riding tricycles, some runners jogging on what looked like a sand path for horses and dog walkers were ignoring the polite notices that asked them to keep their dogs on short leads. 

As I knelt down to take this photo an older couple who had seen me failing to take photos of birds in flight earlier stopped to ask if I had taken any good shots, I hadn't and told them as much. They were kind enough to suggest that the view and light through the rushes around the pond in the park might make a good and 'cold' photo. 

Here's a view of the park which I think is as beautiful as the people there are friendly. I hope you enjoy it.

Wonderland

"What's the point of being a writer or an artist anyway? Herman Melville wrote f#*kin' Moby Dick, he was so poor and forgotten by the time he died that in his obituary they called him Henry Melville. You know, like why bother? They're just going to forget our f#*kin' names anyway."

- Joel (Adventureland, 2009)

We're All In This Together

"Do you ever feel like we should have migrated for the winter?"

Feels So Distant | Rules To Follow

Remember summer? Those halcyon days of yore where we all seemed care free, jolly and gay? I remember, but the picture of balmy, warm sunny evenings and bright sun tempered by cool breeze is obscured by the snow storms of the tundra we face ahead of us. 

Ice cold toes, wet-through trousers, pained fingers and wind stung (brave) face do not a happy-snapper make. But this sight made me smile. A reminder of that distant past and a reminder that beneath the dusty white snow lays a verdant lush field in wait for my picnic basket and blanket.

I just need to survive a few more months, just a few more.
