The Golden Park

The Golden Park
Another look at this Alexandra Park in Oldham , now toward the old ‘Lions den’ pavilion. This was another ramshackled structure until being completely re-furbished some years back now. A stone lion still sits at the foot of each front corner. Of course it is this burning gold tree that really strikes us here, a sign that Autumn is well under-way and Winter is just around the corner.

Full screen essential.

The pavilion looks beautiful Herb, but my eyes went straight to the star of the shot....that gorgeous burnt gold tree!! The three trees lined up by the pavilion also look good with their autumn blush. An excellent picture. Take care and have a good day. Rosa.

There are trees still in a gorgeous autumn and others already in winter
Each species has its own rhythm..
I also enjoy the effect of the long shadows on the grass
A very beautiful setting, Herb

Thanks Judite, yes we still have golden trees, even today, but there are not as many now. Shadows are a natural add-on to this too. Great that you liked it.

Glorious light and long shadows..........and a very attractive looking pavilion.........but as Rosa has said it's that gorgeous golden tree that stands out the most. The other trees look very nice too, but have been completely upstaged.

Another superb shot from this beautiful park Herb............very well done!

Toz, Oldham has for many years been a most ugly dank town full of history best forgotten, filth, crime and a population that reflect the same. That being said, it is also blessed with the most wonderful population who would do anything for you, who care and try to look after nature. We are also blessed with beautiful surrounding countryside and many attempts in the life of the town to create beauty where there was none to start with. Alexandra Park is only one of such examples and my heart fills with pride as i do one of my many strolls through that every few weeks. It can be walked trough and through in an hour or so but it is well worth it if you are ever near. Maybe at the time you visit Dovestones again.

Hi Diana and thanks for this for which I feel a little privileged of your comment whilst having such a bad hand. I presume you had to type with your left hand only. Great that you enjoyed this and it brought some colour into your life (not that you really needed me to do that.)

Keep safe and get well soon. Herb

Hi Herb,

I do like this scene. Of course the golden tree, but also the long shadows from the trees on the right fill in that expanse of grass.. Very well thought out as ever..
And yes, I did look large, and spotted the lion!!

Best Wishes
Peter

Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Thanks a lot for this Peter. I had not realised that the lion on the left could be spotted until you pointed it out. Well done! Yes, I too though the long shadows filled in that space much better.

Keep safe. Herb
