Another sunset - Allestree Park
It's been too hot to go for a walk (and keep up my Fitbit steps) during the day, so a brief outing in the evening has had to do. There's the advantage with that of catching the sunset. So we found ourselves one evening out at Allestree park, by the golf course, wandering around waiting for the sun to set.
Out previous visits there have always been at the lower end of the park, where there's a lake, but I expected the sunset to be masked from there by the slope and trees. Instead we parked at the higher end and walked through woodland to the golf course from where there's a wonderful view over Derby and beyond.
We still weren't in a good 'sunset' spot, so returned to the car park up a steeper hill than I was expecting and past some interesting fungi - artist's fungus according to my Twitter friends - then crossed the road and followed a public footpath through a harvested field which had good all round views - and a lovely sunset :)
