A bright morning after a couple of grotty days, so I got up early with the intention of a quick stroll to Alexandra Palace.
Some decent atmospheric shots due to the cloud cover - and the open views from the hill.
As it was quite so nice, I decided to extend my walk by going on through the Parkland Walk, which follows the disused railway line that used to go to Alexandra Palace. Although described as a nature reserve it is just a narrow (albeit pleasant) treelined walk through North London, the northern section terminating in Highgate Woods. Only catch was that the Walk, and Highgate Woods, were teeming with people, mostly walking either their dogs or their children on a Sunday morning. Plus copious numbers of joggers. So many folk that I didn't really feel able to photograph the walkway itself, which really only leaves one worthwhile sight that that you can see from the path, St James Church, Muswell Hill.
I gave up Highgate Woods, partly as too busy and partly due to the extreme cold. My fingers were frozen even with gloves.
