Morning Stroll - Greenwich Park, London

It has been an unprecedented year, and this will be a Christmas like no other. The usual build up and the rush to beat the crowds to get your presents, is replaced by the rush to get the presents before moving to lockdown Tier 3. Where the plans for that big, once a year family social gathering are a little more complicated, working within the rules in place to protect our elderly loved ones and those at risk. But I hope you still manage to find that little something that makes this time of year special, and makes it feel a little Christmassy for you, with only ten days to go!

For me, going through my archive pictures, I found this shot, that always gives me that ‘cosy, wrapped up in hat and scarf’ Christmas feel. The day I shot this I’d actually headed out to capture a wintery landscape shot of the park full of children playing in the first snowfall of the year, but then he caught my eye, with his beret and little brown bag, and that line of trees. I quickly (and nimbly as i could with cold and numb fingers from the cold) switched the wide angle for the long lens, and snapped this frame before he disappeared into the white mist………..
