This depends on whether I shoot it the first of the month or near the end, and I am planning to shoot it at the very start of March. It is very likely to capture some snow too. The weather is playing funny this year.
On the bright side I’m invited with a small part of the company to Italy/Venice in August, which I think will be nicer. I hope they have gluten-free pasta there! 😀
Don’t expect to eat well in Venice. I hear that they are more interested in charging a lot than leaving a good impression on guests. If you are eating at a good place, go for the seafood instead – I am not sure they have gluten-free pasta. We are going there the first week in March (for just 3 days). How long will you stay? August is usually crazy hot and extremely smelly.
It is a large area and it is not difficult to find something interesting to shoot there. I hope to take some pics of snow for a change. It is when this park looks its best 🙂 I am not really a Spring person 😀
Lovely shots, even better than last month’s I believe. My favourite this time is the pair of benches with that lovely building in the distance and such glorious light playing across the whole.
What is the address of your wordpress photoblog? I found betgloft.co.uk but it is asking me to log in through different accounts to comment on your changing season :S
Because I have been hacked several times now and I also don’t like the way that they have betrayed their original “free and always will be” stance. I stopped using wordpress.com when they began to stick adverts in my posts and now only use the self-hosted version but even that is prey to Premium this and Premium that. The blogging environment is not what it was
“Blogging is about commenting, not clicking likes. Be heard…..” – Hallelujah, sister! How it grieves me that readers no longer join in discussion. Blogging feels like such a lonely activity nowadays. Clicking a Like button is not just lazy but I think downright rude if one does not trouble to explain one’s engagement with the post. Yes, I am that Social Media Dinosaur. I like it that way.
I am not sure what blogging was before, not even how old the “blogging” is. I think that many people treat their blogs as their fb page – another thing I dislike a lot is fb.
These are all beautiful, Paula. I love the road going to that house/building. I look forward to seeing it with full foliage on the trees. I also wouldn’t mind sitting on those benches for a while!
Hello Linda 🙂 Yes, these benches are the best viewpoint in the whole park I think. Winter is more poetic than Spring. I doubt that foliage will make it look better.
I think I heard Indian weather report once saying that you only know: hot, very hot, and hell hot. I wouldn’t thrive in your climate, but you have so much going for you- imensily rich history and architecture, people that are less conformist than in other parts of the world. I find your peninsula captivating.
