Section 5 and we are in a corner section today with and entrance so potentially a few people walking through my section. It is a Saturday about 6pm and today has been really hot and sunny. I am here with my daughter who is riding round the park on her scooter which means I am possibly a little more distracted than usual. She has a habit of disappearing completely out of view for about 10 minutes and just when you are thinking, should I worry?, she appears again. The park is still quite busy and there are a few dog walkers out but not too many in my section. There are a group of lads playing football, who go just as I start to film so they obviously want to hide, maybe it’s the Scottish team here practicing for The Euros! Another group of men walk by piled high with beer so there must be a party happening nearby, I didn’t ask to gatecrash as those days have long gone!
Interestingly there is an electric fenced area in this section and I have to say that despite years of coming into this park I have never noticed this before. I obviously can’t go into it but have a look round and there are a couple of large trees next to it. I sort of wonder if I examine too much round this area I may find something I don’t want to. Like a human hand that dropped out of the back pack of the retired doctor. I maybe gloss over this area a bit because of this and spiders obviously. Also it makes a buzzing noise.
Today I saw: 1 ripped off poster, 3 feathers, 28 pieces of litter (mainly cigarette ends), lots of webs, 1 bin, 1 bin bag, 1 dog poo bin, lots of spider webs, many twigs, leaves and sycamore keys, 3 dog walkers and 3 dogs.
I said there were 3 dog walkers, there were more in the rest of the park, obviously a popular time but only 3 in my section and one walked through so quickly I didn’t get a chance. The other 2 dogs were Cheri and Jasper. Cheri’s owner was Dave with very fancy trousers, a musician I feel. He told me about a nearby graveyard I never knew about that was great to photograph so I will look sometime. Jasper’s owner, name unknown maybe Dave too? Lived nearby and showed me another photographer he knew that I will look up. Actually thinking about it pretty much all the dog walkers were men on there own so it is obviously the time that men feel the need to get out of the house.
