About the book
THIS BEAUTIFUL collection of photographs captures the changing moods of the tree-lined avenues and vistas of Kensington Gardens.
There are over 4000 trees in the 240 acres of Kensington Gardens including many fine old specimens. Set in the heart of London the Gardens provide a peaceful, green, ‘biodiversity-rich’ oasis.
At any given time of day and year you will see sunlight setting leaves aglow; branches forming intricate shadows on the grass; huge natural “sculptures” of tree trunks in winter; tiny, delicate flowers hidden amongst the leaves; hues of red, green and yellow set against a blue sky; myriads of catkins, acorns and buds - to mention just a few of the visual treats that the trees offer the observant visitor.
Meticulously designed to display the photographs to their best advantage the plates are punctuated with occasional historical anecdotes, tree facts and poems penned by the author but, mostly, the pictures are left to speak for themselves.
This book is for anyone who loves trees, London or photography and, of course, Kensington Gardens.
