The Thames isn't the only waterway that adds presence and beauty to London; there's also the Regent's Canal which snakes a more northerly route. It links the Grand Union Canal with docklandsЧитать далее

This is by far from being my first walk along the canal. I first got to know it in the 1970s, having found my first post-graduation job (which I hated) in London. Weekdays involved the daily trudgeЧитать далее
Speak, WorldWow, great grit! Wonderful photos! I’m so glad that you are able to display them here. Keep them coming, please!

It could be the name of a pub! These pictures were all taken within 10 minutes of my flat and go to show that while I miss long-haul travelling hugely, it's still possible to spot curiosities on one'sЧитать далее

Well, I don’t think this patch of green deserves a name, quite frankly, unless it’s “Clean Up After Your Dog”

Speak, WorldYou gave me such nostalgia for deciduous trees! What beautiful photos. Hyde Park is so wonderful, and I’d love to go back for a visit sometime soon. Actually, I’m due for a visit in 2022 because I try to visit every five years. Let’s hope that Covid dies down quite a bit.
ПутешественникSo glad you like these! There's something special about the autumn shades that detract from the sadness of approaching winter---which it now is. But only 3-4 months and then the spring colours will start emerging.

Speak, WorldWow James, you certainly outdid yourself in those beautiful pictures! The first one is a really good find, don’t you think?! But then, they all are.
ПутешественникThanks! The Bacardi poster shows how to make best use of dull conditions by contrasting a bright subject with dismal weather. Bad weather, good pictures!

Speak, WorldThis has been a lovely and inspiring blog. I have appreciated all of your artistic photos and comments about home. You truly made lemonade.
Speak, WorldWhat a stunningly beautiful walk! I didn’t know that one could walk such a long way along the canals. The next time I’m in London…
ПутешественникYes, it's much prettier than when I discovered it in the 1970s (subject of the next blog page!) Well recommended for a scenic walk, best done on weekdays when there are fewer cyclists.
