Scouting South Downs Kingston near Lewes
Another hot weekend here in east Sussex, too hot to be out in the midday sun. The plan was to do an evening walk along a part of the South Downs I have not been yet. Another escarpment the other side of the river Ouse that continues to Brighton.

Willingdon Hill Sunset Moonrise South Downs

Along the river Medway Kent
I do enjoy a walk along the riverside and often you can find good subjects for some landscape photography and if you are lucky some wildlife too.
