Having spent most of the second half of the year travelling and not updating any social media or this website. I have now a day relaxing, preparing for the New year celebrations. And yesterday I walked to the Cascades of Chiloza in the cold winter sun.

A great short walk of around 7km that includes some very high steps and a steep hillsides. It’s not for everyone but overall is fairly moderate. The reward is the sequence of waterfalls and cascades that are spectacularly beautiful in the river valley.

Using a long exposure helps with the lighting as it was not very bright under the trees and also gives the flowing water a movement blur. I like these images.

A spring afternoon walk around Villennes

A cool spring afternoon was the ideal opportunity to take a walk in the park. Walk around the park and capture the quiet atmosphere at the start of lockdown. New year’s growth is just appearing. As a result; it is not swamped by the profuse summer leaves and flowers.

The small Paris suburb of Villennes-sur-Seine, in Yvelines, France has some wonderful architecture and parks. So I stayed in the centre of town and visit the Parc du Docteur Fauvel, the town hall and its garden and the river Seine. The river runs very close to town here. This spring afternoon walk around Villennes was in April.

These were taken on my Canon camera with either my 50mm or 18-135mm lens. I would recommend a Spring afternoon walk around Villennes as it shows you don’t have to be far from the city of Paris to be in lovely countryside. It’s a short train ride from St Lazare station. When you get off the train I suggest you start by appreciating the architecture of the old station building. However, If you come by car, parking in the town centre is limited and short stay. The town is not far from the A13 and A14 autoroutes.

My next walk will be a little upstream on the river Seine at Conflans-Sainte-Honorine
