Autumn in Telegraph Hill Park

Autumn has finally come, a cherry tree down in Telegraph Hill upper park (Kitto Road SE14) in a storm last week. Some suggested struck by lightning in a storm, others that the wind alone did the damage.

Tree Trunk Love on Hilly Fields

'I pray you mar no more trees by writing love-songs on their barks'

(Shakespeare, As You Like It)

I would agree with the Bard as far as living trees are concerned, but you can't really object to the ancient practice of carving names on a dead tree trunk like this one in Hilly Fields.

Hilly Fields Teepees

Sad as it was to see some trees come down in Hilly Fields in last October's storm (see photos here), it's good to see branches being put to good use to create these little 'teepee' structures. There's three of them close to the Montague Avenue SE4 end of the park

Transpontine Christmas Trees

'It's coming on Christmas, They're cutting down trees,

They're putting up reindeer, And singing songs of joy and peace'

My favourite so far - a 'tree' made of books made of trees in Goldsmiths library- the sharp eyed
may  spot Derrida's Of Grammatology, Jameson's  Postmodernism and Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks
contributing to the festive cheer!
