Colourful early autumn scenes on a sunny day in Bradford's Lister Park: Two small boys armed with long sticks were attempting to dislodge conkers from the horse chestnut trees - a pastime that has endured for centuries.
A small acer in the Botanic Garden was making the most of its few weeks of glory.
The bronze Stag statue, by Pierre Louis Rouillard (1820–1881), was looking every inch the monarch of the park.
You chose a great day with very good light for these photos.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing statues that are lit without bright shadows, against a dull background. It's hard to get all those together which of course you did!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. You seem to be at just about the same stage of autumn there as we are here!
ReplyDeleteWe used to have fun with the conkers when I was a kid. I wonder if they still play with them here?
