22 November 2013: Beech Tree on Lower Cohen's Field

This beech on Lower Cohen's Field is showing all its glorious autumn colours.

21 September 2013: Sloes

Sloes, the fruit of the blackthorn, are now ripening. Blackthorns can be found in the hedgerows on Hampstead Heath. These slows are growing on a tall shrub between the two Cohen's Fields, near the Goodison Fountain.

15 April 2013: Blackthorn Blossoms

I think this is a blackthorn (Prunus spinosa), one of the first to flower on Hampstead Heath, at the bottom of Upper Cohen's Field.

The snow is gone, and it felt almost like spring today.

A cold, wintery sunrise, at Cohen's Fields and Highgate Ponds.

...and now it is Summer

Upper Cohen's Field, 15 July 2012

And this morning, it even felt like summer! I went out onto the Heath with my camera for the first time in months, and summer had arrived. Here are three photos to make up for the lack of photos in the last months (and the lack of summer in England this year).

And then it was Spring...

London seen from the top of Milfield Lane, 15 April 2012

In the winter months, I didn't have much time anymore to visit the Heath as regularly as I would have liked to, so in the last half year I didn't take many photos and didn't post any here. I'm hoping to be able to make more time for this again, although I feel that a photo a day is too ambitious, and too wet, so I may just post more photos taken on nice days (do you hear that, weather?).

Looking across the upper Cohen's Field from the top of Millfield Lane, to Athlone House, which is hiding behind the autumnal looking chestnut trees.

See on the map where this picture was taken.

4 September 2011: London Seen From Cohen's Fields

After the rain, the clouds parted and the sun came out to shine on London. This is the skyline seen from one of the viewpoints on Hampstead Heath, the upper part of Cohen's Fields, near the Kenwood Pagoda.
