As seen on a walk and given a distressed paper treatment.

This one stood quite still whilst I took the photograph!

A few miles out of London and it becomes quite rural. As seen just outside the town of Epping in Essex.

A little about the church today:

This water tower is Grade 2 listed. After a campaign by local doctor John Clegg - Epping had the highest rate of Cholera & Typhoid in Essex - it was built in 1872.

I've taken photos of it before from the main road but there is a car park behind from where you get this view. It's part of The Tower School today.

….. One from our London trip 2 weeks ago, we did manage to snatch a few moments leisure time with out Grandson in his favourite woodland retreat! Alan:-)….

Then, as the mist cleared..........

This is the birthplace of Mary Ball (Washington), the mother of George Washington, the first President of the United States.

The original house was constructed in about 1680. The present day (ca. 1800) Epping Forest house in Lively, Virginia incorporates parts of the original house.

Mary Ball was born in approximately 1707, to Joseph Ball and Mary Johnson Ball. Mary Ball married Augustine Washington in 1731. Their first son, George Washington was born on February 22, 1732, at Popes Creek, Virginia.

Mary Ball Washington died on August 25, 1789.

This house is currently privately owned.

Another foggy day on Epping Upland - I love it but many don't.

Epping Forest is a 2,400-hectare area of ancient woodland, and other established habitats, between Epping in Essex to the north, and Forest Gate in Greater London to the south, straddling the border between London and Essex. It is a former royal forest, and is owned and managed by the City of London Corporation.

The lack of winds and warm temperatures have ensured that autumn in the forest is very colourful. Point a camera anywhere and the colours are amazing.

Beech trees in part of Loughton Camp, an Iron Age ring fort, dating to c. 500 BC. Part of the earthwork can just about be seen beyond the furthest righthand tree.

Still deep in the archives, this shot's from 1984. A bunch of us used to go and camp there from time to time between about 1981 and 1985, which was seemingly legal in those days - the forest wardens would appear on little trail bikes and sell us a camping ticket for a nominal fee and were happy as long as we didn't light fires or leave litter behind. I'm guessing this has changed now as I haven't seen a tent in the forest in decades - though tbh I never saw anyone else camping there back then either.

Epping Forest - our local patch this morning.

D25198. A misty, moisty morning in Epping Forest.

Over the Christmas weekend our daughter introduced us to Epping Forest in Essex, somewhere that was new to us. Despite the miserable weather I took some cameras along...

A quick detor on a foggy morning on the way to work :)

Thanks for the Explore :)

The morning threatened rain throughout which led to wonderfully saturated colours in the local part of Epping Forest.

This is a hand-held 4 image stack at f5.6.

An image made during an evening walk through Epping Forest a few weeks ago.

This is from Autumn 2015, looking forward to the coming seasons change.

My first trip to Epping Forest and I was blessed with almost perfect colour and conditions - happiest four hours with a camera I've had for a long time.
