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.

Pointless path completed
The pointless path next to the small pond by Ham Gate (the start of Latchmere Brook) has now been completed. It is pointless because it suggests that it goes somewhere as it slides around the pond but it ends abruptly just beyond where it disappears out of sight in this picture.
My objection to these (and other) paths is that they have removed the mystery of exploration. Inquisitive explorers do not follow man-made paths. The people behind this silly scheme seem to have forgotten what it means to be young.
