Whenever I am home in London, I always find the opportunity to head straight to my favourite place - Osterley Park. A walk here always clears the cobwebs and puts the world to rights - at least for a while!!
On my recent trip over Christmas, there was only one day when it didn't rain and the blustery gale force winds subsided for a few hours....The sun shone, the shadows lengthened, and the sky burst out strong and blue in all its glorious winter light...
Who would think that this scenic place is in the middle of a seething metropolis only a stone's throw from Heathrow airport and the M4?? For more shadow shots this week, click HERE for Shadow Shot Sunday. Enjoy!!

Everyone of us has that special place where we do our thinking and clear our minds. Mine is either at the top of the mountain or inside the CR :)
Magnificent collection of London shadows! How fortunate you are to be so close to that great city!

The park bench had a fascinating shadow - love your photos.
Would love to have that green wrought iron bench in my yard…just looking at these shots calm the soul:-)
Have a great Sunday!
Fabulous!
Interesting shadow of the bench...I'd love to have seen a much closer shot!!!
WOW! That reflection shot is THAT close to Heathrow? It really does look like it's in a less built-up are.
Thanks for the lovely comments this week - very much appreciatred....
I'm doing two things right now: one is soaking up the spectacular views your photos provide. Thanks. The other one is chuckling at your comment about the rain. My latest post is precisely about the rain in London. You're right, I can't remember when we last had sunshine. Oh, actually that was today for about half an hour! :-)
Greetings from London.
Wow! How pretty Londontown looks! I know it's good to be home.
Can hardly believe such peaceful settings lie so near the chaos you describe, both geographically and climatically.
