Ham Photos is a growing archive of photos of Ham (at the meeting of Richmond upon Thames and Kingston upon Thames in south-west London), where I have lived since 1996. It captures the small changes that are easily missed and delights in the unusual, the unexpected and the unnoticed.

Bowing tree
As the tow path follows the river West and down-stream towards Teddington Lock it comes across this tree paying homage to the mighty Thames. Branches defy the call of the sun and, instead, lean towards the water.
A less poetic view is that the river won this worship by relentlessly undermining the trees roots causing it to tumble in fear and pain towards its victor.
