Helios Urban Parklife

Vernon Park, Basford, Nottingham, shot on my lunch break at work.

An urban park, in inner city Nottingham

A green oasis of beauty in the heart of terraced streets and industrial units. Although the winter trees have no leaves and I've presented this in black and white

All the people
So many people
And they all go hand-in-hand
Hand-in-hand through their parklife
Know what I mean?

This was shot using my my Russian vintage Helios 44M 2/58 lens attached to my Sony A6000.

To see the same scene in Autumn 2017 and shot with my Sony A6000 Sony 50 mm f1.8 follow the link here ....

I love the winter avenue of trees bare of leaves and their tangled branches , nice gentle light and shades along the pathway with couple of people to add interest ! B/W suits it well , and I like it better than your previous post in colour ! fav

Works well in B&W it's interesting comparing the autumn image I long to see some leaves again!

lovely shot of the park which works excellently in black and white. Not a bad place to have access to in your work break!

Reminds me of the park by the river in Cambridge. I do love tree lined avenues in parks like this. Something so pleasing about them.

Is this the same park you feature from time to time in your project?
Nice range of tones and the darks of the tree trunks give a sense of how imposing they are.

@dulciknit Alison, yes the park near work. Always a nice walk along the avenue of trees in my lunch time , although I sometimes have my anorak on and do the tram track instead
