Dusk lavender

It’s been a beautiful summer day and the light is gradually fading into darkness. I’m at the walled garden in Ravenscourt Park, enjoying the sight and scent of some lavender bushes. They’re now in full bloom in the green spaces and gardens of west London.

Shortly after taking this shot, I was asked to leave by park officials who were locking up the garden for the night. It was quite easy to ignore them…

  Thanks for coming by, Rich, and I really appreciate the comment. It was all the work of Mother Nature – the light was fast fading but still had an edge of gold.

  Thanks so much, Rachel. The light was very last minute, but also nice and golden. Worth being told to leave the garden!
