Show me the way to San Jos?: Chevrolet Apache
I don't often submit photos of vehicles to Geograph, on the grounds that they're mobile. But this old Chevy 32 Apache hasn't moved for so long that it seems pretty much a landmark. The San José/California 'license plate' carries the date 1959.
I get the impression that the vehicle is being restored, but it's a slow process.

Bishop's Lodge, and the freebord of Richmond Park
When Richmond Park was first enclosed, by King Charles I, the Crown also commandeered a strip of land 16 feet 6 inches wide outside the Park wall. The primary purpose of this strip - the so-called freebord - seems to have been to allow passage along the wall for maintenance purposes. Over the course of centuries much of the freebord has been encroached upon, so that there are now few places where it is still constitutes a public passageway. One such place is here, off Chisholm Road, Richmond, where the freebord gives access to the Park via a pedestrian gate.
The house on the right, built into the Park wall, is known as Bishop's Lodge - because once upon a time a gamekeeper called Bishop lived here.

Heron at Bishop's Lodge Pond, Richmond Park
This species, the Grey Heron, Ardea cinerea, is one which has done very well in the London area in recent decades. Within Richmond Park, there is a heronry in Pen Pond Plantation, and herons are an everyday sight - something which was not the case as recently as the early 1970's.
What strikes me about this image is how the bird seems almost camouflaged in these watery surroundings. For another view, taken moments later, see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2760145
Richmond Park is a National Nature Reserve.
