A QUIET SPOT...

    World © Geoff Wilkinson - All rights reserved

Sadly no sign of the eclipse, too much cloud cover but here's a nice picture anyway..

The river Roding forms the eastern boundary of Wanstead. Most people know that it's there but I'll bet not that many have seen it in all it's beauty. Many people may glimpse it as they drive over the bridge near the Redbridge roundabout but it really is worth a stroll along it's banks. This picture shows it passing  through Wanstead Park, see what I mean about the beauty...

    1. Yes it always interests me that in a 'natural' park how people always seem to stick to the paths yet just a few yards away is quite often peaceful and undisturbed.

    I got a few photos of the eclipse with my cell phone. It was pretty neat to see it.
