Lake view

We went to London for a walk round today. Parking's free on Sundays and there are more places to park legally as well, so it's a good day to go. You get the hustle and bustle with lots of people but not crowds, and there's plenty going on.
Part of our walk was a circuit of the lake in St.James' Park. I've put this photo of it in my main album because the view's pretty and because Lester liked it and suggested I take a shot .
Could've cropped it closer, I guess, but then I'd have lost the feeling of distance.

This is stunning. I like the way the trees frame the buildings.

[Brian Baptie]

Wonderful perspective. Would look a treat in the summer with all those trees in bloom.

[Terry Beigie]

So beautiful!

[Ulpi]

Wow Alison, that is an amazingbview!

@emmilou @terek55 @ulpiphotos Thank you, ladies. :-) London architecture's inspirational for someone toting a camera.
@bdb3471 Thank you Brian. You've given me an idea - a shot of the view for each season would be fun.

[CHARLES MALLIA]

nice place

[Jean Tookey]

A lovely shot. No need to crop. You both have a very good eye. I agree with Brian, you could do a series of shots to show each season of the year.

[Anita Hoyle]

Nicely done, Alison, doesn't need anything doing to it!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@jtookey150 @anitahoyle Thank you both. I must 'fess up and say I did crop a *bit* off the bottom, though!

[Claire Fisher]

This is beautiful Alison. You wouldn't think it was in the heart of London!! Good to hear parking is still free on Sundays. I knew it was years ago when I was a kid but assumed that had gone now.

[Taephy]

you are right, cropping would've made you lose that sense of distance. it is beautiful as it is.

[Netkonnexion]

Lovely shot. I have seen this one done many times. But I really like the framing in this one. The trees pull it off nicely . Great shot.

[Julie Purnell]

Great picture. Love the depth of this one.

[Susan Bell]

Lovely subtle tones in this. Sorry for late posting; I'm just finishing catching up with looking at all the pics I missed while in India. I've been going to each person in turn rather than using the home page and it has been nice seeing them in succession. However, you are last because you were the first person I followed!
What has happened to Lester? Given up?

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@bigsusan55 i think it's very noble of you to go back this far to comment - and I appreciate your kindness and diligence.
Yes, I'm afraid Lester sort of ran out of steam. :'-(

[Susan Bell]

I tend to feel that if I hope that others will look at my pics then I ought to make an effort to go and look at theirs. Not that it is an effort looking at yours, but some others can be a bit boring!
Shame about Lester as he was well into it.
