Decided to try and get to grips with photoshop elements and a rare try at layers. Probably 90% of my work is done with lightroom.
Chiswick Bridge at sunset on last Saturday. I was surprised by how far I could venture from the riverbank with the tide out. I was practically in the middle of the river channel.

This elegant early 18th-century villa was designed by the 3rd Earl of Burlington as an exquisite setting to showcase his art collections and entertain his friends. Inspired by his travels in Italy and study of architecture, it is one of the earliest and finest examples of the ‘neo-Palladian’ style in England. The style greatly influenced British country house design throughout the 18th century, while the surrounding spacious garden created at the same time can claim to be the birthplace of the English landscape garden.
Sunset over the Conservatory in Chiswick House & Gardens built way back in 1820. I really like the wispy clouds combined with the sunset colours, if you look long enough it almost looks like a Phoenix! Unfortunately not everything goes right and I find myself discarding photos due to small errors, the movement in the foliage, due to the wind, caused it to blur and almost rendered this shot unusable but after showing it to a couple of people they didn't even notice.
I also got locked in the park taking this shot and had to scale quite a high wall to get out so this shot is definitely being used! :)
DM969 LK58CSU seen at Chiswick Bridge working on route 190 towards Richmond Bus Station.
Route 190's via point, which normally is served by itself. Because of the closure of Hammersmith Bridge, route 533 being reintroduced also serves here.
Nice little pub in Chiswick. Cheap beer (by Australian standards), good pub food and great atmosphere
The Mosaic House is the home of Carrie Reichardt, which can be found in Chiswick, London. This epic undertaking started on the back wall in honour of Luis Ramirez, with a final push in 2017 to complete the house. It features some of the world’s best mosaic artists and was made possible by many people, over many years, with each section telling a story.

Chiswick House is a nearby stately home in west London once owned by the 3rd Earl of Burlington in the 18th century (1726-9). It was built featuring a neo-Palladian domed villa as its main feature. It occupies the grounds of a large landscape gardens inspired by Italian Renaissance gardens and classical architecture. Chiswick House is believed by some to have been built as a Masonic lodge or temple, the main villa was solely intended to display the Earl's art collection and as there are no bedrooms. A Georgian extension wing was later added by the Duke of Devonshire's family with accommodation quarters in 1788.
