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

Given some grain and slight motion after converting to monochrome, I just liked this scene.

This one stood quite still whilst I took the photograph!

As seen on a trip to Epping.

Another snowy scene for Christmas Eve. I hope you all have a lovely time this year.

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.

Taken directly opposite The Bell Hotel, Epping, which has been in the news a lot recently.

...actually having checked the map this isn't Epping Forest, instead it's another area of forest around the corner from the new house in Woodfood Green. Probably one of the nicest areas I've lived.

Of the few hundred or so shots I took yesterday I knew this was the best of the bunch the moment I landed on it. Ticks the boxes for me.

Approaching winter in the forest and the trees start to show their skeletons.

The Epping Ongar Railway is a heritage railway in south-west Essex, England, run by a small number of paid staff and a team of volunteers. It was the final section of the Great Eastern Railway branch line, later the London Underground's Central line from Loughton via Epping to Ongar. The Epping Ongar Lights Express is an incredible light show on and in a steam train, consisting of thousands of coloured LED lights and LED wristbands, creating a kaleidoscope of different colours and flashing patterns.

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.

A shot from 8 years ago, newly reprocessed.

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.

Taken with a 1978-vintage Olympus Trip 35, scanned from a colour print and processed with Nik Silver Efex.

Epping Forest - our local patch this morning.

First the forecast predicted mist, then sunshine and then cloud but looking out saw the mist coming around 7.30 this morning. Hotfoot into the forest.

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

Thanks for the Explore :)
