Twelve Months Twenty-Four Photos. Numbers Seventeen and Eighteen - September

[blahflowers]

It is sometimes the case that you can live relatively nearby somewhere and never visit, yet think nothing of going further afield to other places more often. So it is with the Horniman Museum, which I finally visited in September after only living down here for, what, four years? Going with alextiefling, nanaya and [insert_name_here] we had an enjoyable time looking round the free bits, the musical instruments, the preserved animal specimens, the cultural plunder, then checking out the garden before the chill of the September evening drove us out. I will go back in 2014.

I had visited Nunhead Cemetery before but that had been on an Open Houses day and I'd been living in North London at the time, so even longer than four years ago. This time I walked round and saw the bits that I didn't see then. I chose this picture because even if it's not quite in focus I like the accidental effect of the green gravestone contrasted with the autumnal brown of the leaves, it's almost psychedelic.
