HALSTEAD ROAD.

I took this picture of Halstead Road showing the natural curvature in the road and I really like the V shape that the cars make. Seeing it after on the Applemac I also realised that Wanstead is far from flat, there are a lot of little hills which add to the uniqueness and appeal of the area.

GARDEN THEME 3

On my way to the Gallery this morning I spotted this fabulous combination of colours in Leicester Road. The white of the Lilac tree really leapt out against the darker red of the Copper Beech tree. I framed the photograph so that each colour had half of the frame, what a lovely start to the day.

GARDEN THEME 2

A corner of a garden left to go wild.  Brings back memories of a French garden that I photographed on a magazine assignment.  Hopefully, it will encourage bees and butterflies sorely missed to come back and visit.

Looking around Wanstead at the moment there is an abundance of colour. The gardens and trees have come alive.  Seeing these dandelions I realised that they have three stages of beauty. The yellow flowers, the tell the time clocks and even the stalks have unique beauty of their own. Just had to catch this image on camera.

I owe a picture for yesterday. Apologies for that, still recovering from the Exhibition at the weekend. I will be putting another picture on today to compensate.

This complex of apartments 'The Shrubbery' is at the top of Grosvenor Road. Every time I pass I am reminded of a Hollywood film set in Los Angeles in the 'thirties', unfortunately the name of it escapes me, any suggestions welcome. Bathed in morning sunlight this Grade 2 listed 1935 building is a real Wanstead gem.

FRIENDS OF WANSTEAD PARKLANDS PHOTO COM...

Great day yesterday, it was prize giving day at our gallery 'eightyfour' for The Friends of Wanstead Parklands photography competition. The Mayor of Redbridge Councillor Felicity Banks did us the honour of presenting the prizes with great enthusiasm and wit. The weather was kind and  there was a good turnout from Friends of Wanstead Parklands members, photographers and friends. Really enjoyable afternoon in support of a really good cause.

We have been getting ready today at 'eighyfour' for The Friend's of Wanstead Parklands photographic exhibition this weekend. I was looking through the photographs again today and was very impressed by the overall standard, there's a lot of talent out there. The Redbridge Mayor  Councillor Felicity Banks will be opening the exhibition at 2pm today so if you are in the Wanstead area please stop by and and have a look at the pictures. The Gallery will look a lot tidier than in the picture above which I took during the hanging.
