A walk around Richmond Park 1 - # 66


Look at London on Google Earth. When still very high in the sky you will see a huge green area in the southwestern corner. That is the Royal Park of Richmond. It is 8 miles (13 km in circumference) and full of wild life and different habitats. This is the pond at the entrance known as Ham Gate. The photo was taken at about 07.00 hrs two weeks ago. You can see another shot of the Park in Post # 4 - that was taken around Christmas about two or three years ago.

  1. What a beautiful, serene spot. What's surprising though, is that I can only see one person in your picture... is it always this quiet?

  2. My first thought was what a lonely little duck, but looking at the bigger picture I see a dog walker on the far bank.

  6. Hmmm.....seems a lot of you like this one. Perhaps I have to start a new habit of getting up early to take photos of lone dog walkers at crazy unsocial hours!!!! It quite clear that you all have large screens on your computers.

  10. Very beautiful. I think your duck looks kind of lonely out there all by itself.
