Jubilee gates at the Newtown Linford entrance to Bradgate Park - Leicestershire - UK

 

 

A sunny morning in Bradgate Park - Walking into Bradgate Park one cold morning, I found myself greeted with a bitter cold of 2 degrees just 20 minutes after sunrise. Despite the time constraint, I had the opportunity to capture the enchanting beauty illuminated by the soft morning light. With my trusty Nikon D850 camera in hand, I captured three shots, each embracing the tranquil setting of the park in soft, reflected sunlight.

 

My regular outings in the park often involve chasing fleeting views of birds and deer, losing track of time as we wander for hours, miles away. But this time, I made a conscious effort to enjoy the fleeting moments and focus on creating lasting memories through my lens. The 16-35mmf4 lens allowed me to capture the vastness and complexity of Bradgate Park from a variety of perspectives; I don't know if each frame tells its own unique story.

 

As I share these photos with my Flickr friends, I invite you to join me on this chilly morning to enjoy the peace and majesty of Bradgate Park. May these images remind you of the beauty that surrounds us and inspire you to embark on your own adventures capturing the wonders of nature. I wish you all a pleasant weekend.
