Monterey Cypress Trees revisited

These majestic trees are native to California. But they are also resident at Plas Newydd in North Wales. Worth a second view!

Battersea Park

Battersea Park is one of London’s largest parks and there’s a lot to see there. These include the boating lake and the avenues of trees as well as several statues. One, recently cleaned, stands proudly in memory of soldiers of the 1st world war.
