Under a blanket of leaves, the cemetery sleeps.

I went back to Highgate on Monday to do some more fieldwork. Oh how I have missed it. It looked beautiful with all the colours of autumn and the weather was delightfully clear and crisp.

I think it looks so peaceful with the fallen leaves lying like a duvet over everything, yet still refreshingly green because of the ivy which twines through everything there (looks lovely; is terribly damaging to the memorials, but a great habitat for wildlife, so a balance must be found).

    1. Yeah it was entirely the wrong sort of weather for mist! Never mind; was lovely all the same!

  2. Oh, Highgate is so beautiful! I have never been there myself but when I finally have the pleasure to go to London it will be the first place I want to visit. :)

    1. I hope you get to visit London and Highgate someday soon =] I used to hate London, but the more time I spend there, the more I like it despite the crowds and expense of everything!
