Dickinson College Humanities Program in Norwich

Instead of regurgitating into this blog post all of the research I did for my Hyde Park group walking tour, I’d like to present green spaces in a slightly different manner. This photoessay will show my impressions of what green spaces mean to London.

So, what are green spaces?

Green spaces are very, very green.

They are right in the middle of a busy city...

but quiet enough to sit and read.

Green spaces are political

beautiful

and festive

yet serene.

You can bring the whole family...

or just the kids.

So sit back and relax.

Soak up some sun.

Then, cool off with a quick dip.

But no matter who you are or what you do...

green spaces lead you straight to London's heart and soul.

For those of you who are not my facebook friends or who don’t have a facebook (GAWK!), I wanted to share with you a few great group photos I have acquired over the trip so far. I couldn’t think of any better way to share them than to post them in a blog with our favorite word as a title. Enjoy this juxtaposition of different group photos!
