View from a firebreak in the forest at Henley Common, at sunset, to Black Down, 280 metres, West Sussex, England.
Poem.
Sun-dappled, forested slopes of pine plantation and autumnal, deciduous trees in gold, yellow and red.
Black Down stretches its sandstone neck to the ominous clouds,
being West Sussex’s loftiest peak.
It peers eastwards and southwards over the equally wooded Sussex Weald, with splendid views to the Surrey Hills and South Downs.
Late autumn in such an arboreal wonderland offers a spellbinding kaleidoscope of colour.
No wonder the Surrey Hills and adjacent South Downs National Park are “Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty,”
beautiful splendour……indeed!
