I have been photographing in Buckhurst Hill lately for a commission, I am building up a small collection of the area, not as many as Wanstead however! I particularly like this picture of the pond, its got a good winter feel to it. Not sure if it has a name or not but you can't miss it as you travel along the High Road.

Another picture I took of Snaresbrook Pond at the end of the day.  The rippling effect with the sun shining across the lake has a really lovely warm glow. A very apt picture I thought for Christmas Eve.

   

SNARESBROOK CROWN COURT

I was at Snaresbrook Pond photographing as the sun was setting and it struck me how the towers of Snaresbrook Crown Court stood out in silhouette against the sky. They were such a different shape to the bare branch's of the trees. The  building was opened in 1843 by King Leopold 11 of Belgium and was  originally the Infant Orphan Asylum and later became a school.

Across Snaresbrook Pond I caught these pigeons on camera at dusk flying around above the water.  The light spanning the pond led to another lovely Wanstead Sunset picture.

Leaving Waitrose in South Woodford I saw these incredible colours appearing on the horizon and immediately sped to Snaresbrook Pond. Low and behold I captured these amazing colours a few seconds before they drifted away toward the City. Another one in the bag !
