Richmond Park - Pen Ponds - #4

This post answers a special request from Tel Aviv Daily Photo. The Park is 8 miles in circumference. It is full of red deer and fallow deer, having been a royal hunting park for hundreds of years. The park is up on a plateau and offers stunning 360 degree 50km distant views of London and the surrounding lands. There will be more, later. It's a wonderful place right on the edge of London.

Go through early and you will catch Mr. Badger finishing his night rounds, and see Mr. Fox on the prowl.
