London’s Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park
Today really was the first day of spring. After what can only be described as one of the dreariest weeks the UK has ever seen, the coldest February since records began and the wettest and snowiest month for 30 years it was simply heaven to wake up to crystal blue skies, a hike in temperatures and an altogether perfect first day of March. Even more so as I was off to Hyde Park, or more so Kensington Gardens, to shoot the Serpentine Gallery for a magazine. This time last week i was shooting another piece of architecture and as i arrived at my destination it started to snow. Today however as i arrived at my destination it was so warm that i had to take my coat off and i wished i had a pair of sunglasses on! Sadly the front lawn where the summer pavilion usually sits was a quagmire of mud from all the recent rain. They have been waiting for better weather to turf over it so from my perspective of photographing it i had to be very careful not to feature it in the shots. Not altogether too difficult as the least interesting of the shots would be face on, so i was pretty happy when i got home to have the following images in my collection. I hope you like them too because quite honestly – monday morning in Kensington Gardens was a literally a breath of fresh air…
