Highgate Cemetery
Discovery of a magical place in London
After having visited London countless times, and having explored the city extensively, I was amazed to discover a new location: Highgate Cemetery. I learned of its existence from the newest Cormoran Strike audio book, where the cemetery features heavily.
Not only is the cemetery extraordinary, but I happened to go there on a frozen and foggy Sunday morning, with every frozen strand of cobweb highlighted. The atmosphere was magical. I even met a fox, which posed just long enough for me to take a photo.
Otherwise I have to say that London was not at its best, so the trip was pretty dull in terms of photography. But I did spot, and take a snap of, a Zelensky lookalike!
This was the first outing with my new Fujifilm XT5, which I really like.
