This is a colour photograph but the colour hasn't registered !! I checked it at 100% and a few leaves in the shadows have colour but that's it. Everything was totally covered with snow. This was taken two years ago; the weather now is horrendous rain all over the UK. What a contrast between winters.
Connaught Water is one of the most popular lakes to walk around in Epping Forest, largely because of the range of wildlife that lives here and its close proximity to Chingford.

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.
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.
A wetland area, currently just slightly swampy but will turn into a group of small ponds over the winter.
There's a good crop of holly berries this year.
The Northern Railway Line in Sydney (Strathfield to Hornsby) opened in 1886 and was electrified in 1926.
Epping is located 18 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district and harbour. @sydney
Not much picture wise today. Clear blue skies here in the UK which are lovely but not my favourite for photography. I enjoyed a nice walk in the woods before work and captured a few images just as the sun came up with a low depth of field to try and create a bit of atmosphere.

Lovely to see quite a few Large Skippers, and also some Small or Essex Skippers flitting around in sunny spots in Epping Forest. This Large Skipper was very chilled sitting in the sun on the bracken!

Now a preserved railway, but in June 1981 it was the most surprising part of the London Underground. This is North Weald station. By then the passing loop had been removed - hence the abandoned platform and signal box. This of course meant only a one train shuttle service, which might have been peak hours only by this stage.

The forest always looks good in autumn/fall and this year is no exception. Just beginning to fade and we could use some mist before that happens.
The Epping Fusion Project was a period recreation with a modern twist.
Hammer action, gas power, and even incorporating a tactical rail system; the EFP was the Brainchild of Markus Epping.
More Form than Functionality, this almost piece of art still performed fantastically at the range.
Two trains of London Underground 1992 stock in Epping station, 91161 arriving and 91317 standing in the platform on the right. These units were built by ABB Transportation in Derby. Today Epping is the eastern terminus of the London Underground Central Line but until 25 years ago the electrification went as far as Ongar along the former Great Eastern Railway's 1865 Epping to Ongar branch line.
The modern-day preserved Epping to Ongar Railway doesn't actually reach this station but terminates a short distance to the east in Epping Forest. On this day heritage London Transport buses were running from Epping to North Weald & Ongar to connect with the steam and diesels and then on to Shenfield station for the London-Ipswich main line service trains.
Epping Forest was founded in 1811. Once famous as part of the convict trail the lovely old town is small part of a larger rural community. The epping church was presbyterian but was sold to private owners. Enjoy this small series of shots from around the area.
