Tree-mendous Tuesday
Bushy Park, Hampton Wick. Greater London. England. U.K.
Once a shortcut to and from Teddington and Hampton Court bypassing the busy Kingston upon Thames
Then Covid came along and during the lockdowns someone decided after "Hundreds of Years", it would be great to stop vehicles using the Avenue as a shortcut !
This is our daughter admiring the scenery. The predominant tree in the valley was chestnut - chestnut flour was for sale in the local markets.
The lady in the Les Vans tourist office sketched out a route to the north west of the town taking in beautiful scenery and lovely villages en route. These are some of the things we saw on our drive.

The chestnut tree across the road from us has lost most of its leafs, and the ones that fell on the road were swept up by neighbors rather than have them sit in the road. The leafs remaining in the tree are just waiting for a nice, stiff breeze to blow them off.
Sinaia, Romania
The palace, inaugurated in 1883, is a masterpiece of German Renaissance architecture and used to be the Romanian Royalty Summer residence and retreat. It has 168 rooms (only 35 are visited) hosting the finest examples of European art, Murano crystal chandeliers, German stained-glass windows, Meissen and Sevres porcelains, ebony and ivory sculptures, etc. Peles was the world's first castle fully operated by electric power and possessing elevators.
There is a whole grove of these trees just past the Lake Eroch General Store, going east. They are on both sides of the road and it is the only place in the lower mainland where you can come around a curve in the road and see a wall of colour.
This grove of chestnut trees also habours the deadliest mushroom native to NA. It is the only place in Canada were this grows.
"Ráncos vagy most is, gesztenyelomb,
ráncos megint,
mint bőr vagy öreg papír zörögsz,
ha a szél megráz odakint,
de ha fele kincsed lent röpül is
a földön ide-oda,
még beragyogsz az ablakomon,
gesztenyefáim aranya."
(Szabó Lőrinc: Őszi fák)
The 1st World War memorial in Elne is unusual in that it uses an adaption of an existing sculpture by Maillol. "La Pomone" is Pomona the Roman Goddess of Plenty. Here, for Maillol, she stands for the universal woman and her promise of maternity which represents all mothers. It is notable that many French 1st World War memorials emphasise the suffering of grieving women/mothers rather than the heroism of the men who died.
