Start of a new month and time to join in with Brian’s Last on the Card Challengeπ
Oldest photo taken early in the month on the Fujifilm XPro-2. This was taken on one of my more extreme exercise walks from Gospel Oak to home over Hampstead Heath. I made a good attempt at killing myself climbing straight up to the viewpoint on Parliament Hill, pushing my heart rate up to its max 160bpm. I don’t know how I managed the last few yards of the climb and was glad to sit on one of the benches at the top for a 2min recovery before setting off on the rest of my walk. Walking down The Bishops Avenue I was lucky to catch a shot of an H3 bus going up towards the Heath…
…This is an unusual London Bus route in that it only runs 7 times in each direction on weekdays and Saturdays starting from Golders Green and turning at East Finchley (Hilltop). The last service leaves Golders at 14:00 and returns from Hilltop at 14:25 – there are no more runs after that! Anyway, I think that walk proved very beneficial and opened the door to improving my general fitnessπ The bus photo was a great bonusπ
On a more relaxed ‘maintaining health’ walk I captured some local graffiti with the Moto g50…
…painted on the retaining wall of the North Circular Road.
The last shot was captured during my journey home from my spotting trip last Friday using the Fujifilm X-H2s…
…Taken at Clapham Junction, 450067 is working a service from Alton to Waterloo. It wears a special livery celebrating the contribution of Key Workers during the Covid pandemic. The Class 450’s are Siemens Desiro units. Operating on 750v DC they are capable of 100mph.
