burnt embers

This photo of gorse is from the edge of last year’s burn in Trafalgar Park, taken the same time as my series from Trafalgar Park that I posted in August.

I very much dislike gorse, it’s an invasive and extremely sharp species that has spread at the expense of indigenous plants. So for me the fire was not totally unwelcome in that it cleared this jungle of thorns and broom out from a good proportion of the park.
