November in Hyde Park

I was in London earlier this week, and one morning went for a walk through Hyde Park. It was quite early and on a weekday, so there were not many people around. Mainly my company was the ducks and seagulls, and the occasional squirrel running around hoping to find a crumble of bread left by the tourists the day before, and so far overlooked by their winged colleagues. The weather had been rather harsh the past few days and this morning was no different. With temperatures just below zero and with a cold wind blowing from almost every direction, it was certainly a chilling experience. There were clouds in the sky but every once in a while the sun would fight its way through and supply the park with some most welcome rays of light. The air was crisp and the frozen roads and grass, while awaiting the first flakes of snow, laid welcoming and inviting across the entire park. In between warming my fingers on a cup of cappuccino I managed to snap a few pictures of this wonderful place.
