9 January

London in Winter

PBasers from all over have been complaining about the weather. It seems no one is seeing much of the sun.
Today, in London, we got to see a bit of the sun, so I guess we cannot complain.

Teddy, Ben and I participated in a walk around Hampstead Heath to benefit victims of the Asian Tsunami.
There were a lot of children on the walk, and we all had a good time and helped a most important
cause. Along the way, I was able to take this photo, which to me sums up London in the winter:
cold, grey, but a bit of sunshine .... just enough to warm one's spirits.

A little while later, the kids came upon a big pile of dried leaves ... and the Great Leaf War began.
Thank goodness that casualties were light. Click on one of the images to see more.

Nicely done, Jim.

it's a shame my pooch wasn't there - he'd love to participate in a Great Leaf War!

Love the tones and mood of this. Beautiful winter image.

As long as Pbase behaves looking at good weather is almost as good as being able to get out in it.
Beautiful silhoutted trees.

Excellent!! We've been having rain here on and off all week long. Blah! Thanks for showing me some sun,Jim.

Very good photo, Jim. Love how the light comes through those trees. Still looks cold, but the day's a bit brighter, no?

I really like the beautiful soft sunlight filtered through the clouds. The colors are perfect for a melancholy winter afternoon.

What a beautiful photo. I think I'll get out and walk today! You've inspired me.

All of those images are delightful. I love the sun behind the tree branches that is terrific, but I think I really like the leaf fight. Those kids seem to have a lot of fun, Nicely seen and captured.

A great set of photos Jim. I love the one of the leaf fight. I imagine it was a cold walk - we went up to Hampstead a couple of weeks ago with our niece and were very grateful for a hot cup of tea and cake afterwards!
