R is for Ruskin Park
The A-Z of Camberwell Online Exhibition

To me this tree is dancing in the Winter winds, branches (arms) flung high and whirling around

Nice sunset over Ruskin Park in Camberwell combined with a little bit of luck in finding someone chilling listening to music on bandstand. Their silhouette providing a focal point and human presence for the image.

This was my walk five years ago. A place of tranquillity and history, when visiting relative in Kings.

I have recently become more familiar with Ruskin Park due to lockdown. It is walking distance of my home, and one sunny day I enjoyed the return home along Green Dale.

I love trees, they are dynamic, textural, graphic

The band stand in Ruskin Park on a beautiful sunny day in May. I was inspired by the vivid colours of late spring and earlier summer bouncing off each other, amidst the liveliness of a busy park.
Rose of sunrise
Rose of sunrise
Rose of dawn
You have stole
My heart this morn.
From the cold
Unsculpted clay
Your perfect form
Enchants the day.
White as sunlight
On the snow
Yet with an
Opalescent glow.
Shades of sunrise
Pink and gold
Glimmering
In every fold.
Oh thing of beauty
In this place
To meet you
Brings a sense of grace.
Your presence has
An inner fire
That surely speaks
Of something higher.

Roses make any park or garden beautiful. This one took my breath away one morning.

Is it art or homeless shelters? They are beautifully made with great skill, but may also be functionally useful in times of great hardship. These are the two extremes of Camberwell.

In Ruskin Park I've heard bagpipes, musicians playing bass and sax, I've seen a girl skipping, a damson fly in the wildlife area and people socially distancing even in the rain under umbrellas. I also started skipping selfies as part of lockdown so I have combined the two and tried to take photos in recognisable park locations.
