There have been some wonderful May-like days this week, but it’s September, it’s now freezing cold and it’s getting darker earlier every night – yes, the summer is truly over, so here are some photos in memory of it:
The summer starts with flights grounded because of the volcanic ash and Brixton got perfect, plane-less blue skies:

Then came the end of Labour and the beginning of Con-Lib…
The Lido went from being empty…

Flowers, and especially roses, bloomed all over Brixton:

There was a jerk chicken cook-off:
One photographer, Charlie Abbiss, took photos of Brixton Market:
And the star of the summer was…Brockwell Park:
Loved the summer in Brixton again this year with a fantastic new Square and Rush Common finally getting back to proper condition providing great opportunities to get out and enjoy it. I took a phot each morning throghout Autumn leading into Spring and it’s amazing to see the trees and flowers coming out. Have a look at the film I put together from the photos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5v6qPsYn8w
Seeing this has made me realise it was a wonderful summer… I hope autumn in Brixton is just as lovely.
