The colours of Autumn are beautiful, even if not all of us are lucky enough to live in New England (see this picture from Maine, for instance). Luckily for me, as I’ve mentioned before, London has massive open spaces. I was able the other day to head up the BT Tower and the view from 34 floors in the sky over London really does show just how massive our parks are.

This shot, then, was taken at the weekend in Regent’s Park, one of my favourite haunts. The park’s trees are slowly turning into cold skeletons for the winter, and some of them are really quite stunning, like this one that’s green-orange-red. I’ve bumped the saturation of these colours up slightly, just to bring them out a bit more as the image was quite flat in its raw state, but it still remains true to reality.

Expect more autumnal scenes in the near future.

I figured this one needed a post of its own, since it’s such a great sequence of photos.

My housemate Jem (who is also in the band Portland Rise) decided he’d try bicycle-kicking a snowball. Needless to say some of his other attempts were not so successful – check out this one of him on his bum, for instance.

Ideally I would have straightened these all out, made sure the crop and exposure was identical and then thrown them together, but I was tired last night and have lots to do today, so I’m afraid you’ll have to make do! Needless to say, I could if I wanted…

Looks like yesterday was it on the snow front – no fresh snow overnight and quite bright sunlight today leading to a lot of melting, which is a shame. It was fun while it lasted.

(This is one of the little side projects I mentioned in the panorama post, if you’re wondering. First time I’ve thrown a sequence like this together – will give it another go when I can to get the horizons matching up.)
