The borrowed tripod took me for a walk to the hill behind my house. We had a human friend and a dog friend in tow, for safety. There used to be a Roman fort on the hill, now there are council flats. Those poor Romans (road construction workers?) missed out on the view of St Paul's, Lambeth Palace, London Eye and PO tower or whatever it's called these days. They were lucky to miss out on the view of the skyscraper rising up out of the ashes of Elephant & Castle. They were probably able to see the Tamesis, a view now obliterated.
As I don't have a special lens for these distance shots the above landmarks aren't too clear - on this blog you can hardly see them at all! Anyway, I was able to practise using the tripod again and sort out leg lengths to take into account rough ground. We nearly froze, apart from Missie who was kept busy chasing a stick so she wouldn't get bored. Sorry Bernadette, I didn't take a photo of the dog. I have one of my cat to show you.
