Sept 2012: Riding through an enchanted wood

One of the joys of riding in London that I have discovered is how wonderfully wooded London is.

Check this bike path out..can you imagine this?

Photobucket

With mushrooms sprouting in the fallen branches and tree trunks..

Photobucket

These wonderfully gnarled trees are in Brickett Wood

Photobucket

They look as if they have been tortured

Photobucket

Some of them have fallen off

Photobucket

But very short tree trunks, and massively kinked branches

Photobucket

One has to be careful walking around.

Photobucket

Quite a lot of people come here to walk their dogs or ride their horses…

Photobucket

While I bike through these lovely trees

Photobucket

Which form a tunnel over your head

Photobucket

And people live on the outskirts of the wood, with these nasturtiums blooming…even in September

And then this lovely lovely wonderful tree. It just looks so beautiful..including the house number plaque on the bole. You just wish there was a hobbit house somewhere near, no?
