Little houses on the Prairie (or Burgess Park). I stumbled upon these little red houses which marked the spots where a Zeppelin destroyed homes. We are so lucky to have a park like this, but it was made from war time destruction like this, and slum clearance, and disused canals. It's good to be reminded of what was there before.

The night walks are always interesting. Sometimes too interesting

I'm a Camberwell resident. I live near the Burgess Park and I happened to be also an artist. Last spring I did few quick oil paintings in Burgess Park, and this is one of them.

Burgess Park has become a haven for wildlife in the middle of the city. You can now see lots of butterflies through the summer - you just need to look. I wanted to offer a tribute to the Park and say a big "thank you" to those who look after it.

I took these pictures in Burgess Park following a conversation with my Keyworker at the Southwark Resource Centre, Andre Harding, about the CAF. As I have lived with MS for several years, I liked the idea of participating in the project, it's given me a focus during lockdown and my assistance dog plenty of exercise!

These are paintings of leaves collected from Burgess Park as part of a project undertaken by the art class at the Southwark Resource Centre for people with physical disabilities. The mobile was made by the pottery class as part of a whole group project under the same theme.

I took this photograph in Burgess Park on a very warm sunny afternoon I wanted to try to represent the heat in the park by creating a lot of contrast in the image. I also wanted to show how empty Park was due to the lockdown constructions.

I try to take photos of the park that are different than the usual pretty photos of birds and lakes

Black Lives Matter in Camberwell - I'm still affected by the sickening death of Floyd George in USA.

Paintings of foliage from Burgess Park, I run an art class at the Southwark Resource Centre for people with physical disabilities and we did a project over a number of weeks, collecting and painting leaves from Burgess Park. I then decided to have a go myself.
