This is quite a shock when the woodpecker arrives alongside the little birds.
This Acer is always spectacular and changes quickly. Some of the trees have lost all their leaves and the Maple and Hazel in the background are still changing. At the same time there are still flowers.
Elsewhere there are various paintings and images containing snatches of what I think was formerly one of the largest shunting yards in Europe. Currently a new life is obviously planned for it. There is frantic work clearing and levelling going on. It is sometimes as noisy when the yard operated, but he lights are more localised and so less bright. Who knows what out view will contain next?
