Barforth Road

Barforth Road, 1st November, 2008-11-02.

One of the many short and quite nondescript streets around Nunhead, Barforth Rd. is unexceptional in almost every way. Unexemplary mid-Victorian semi-detatched houses and some more modern stock built on bomb sites, I guess.


It does, however, have quite a wide array of trees.

For example.

I love the way in which the red autumnal colours of this tree play against the roof of a nearby house:-

At the same time, one or two of the front gardens have what I would call show trees, which don’t seem to notice that it is Autumn at all:


But they are easily overwhelmed, for me, by the great bare, hulk of the horse chestnut over the road:


Elsewhere in this road, there are deep reds...

... and a fancy street evergreen;

Juicy red berries...
...and leaves changing colours, ready to be shed
