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.
Taken from the Mortlake side of the Thames.
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.
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.
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! :)
Nice little pub in Chiswick. Cheap beer (by Australian standards), good pub food and great atmosphere
From Wikipedia: Chiswick House is a Palladian villa in Chiswick, in the west of London, England. A "glorious" example of Neo-Palladian architecture in London, the house was built and designed by Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington, and completed in 1729.
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.

Out of London on the way to Windsor down the A4 in Chiswick. This is the route the Queen took many, many times during her life.
The house of Chiswick's most famous resident is in the background - the satirical painter William Hogarth (1697–1764).

Pretty chaotic today, since Abellio decided to colonise the standing area for the extensive rail replacement service from Gunnersbury to Heathrow, involving several dual carriageway sections and stunning views of the airport. We also have a number 440 ; these have only recently started serving the business park.
