Twilight tree

Back in my park this evening. Too cloudy for any night sky shots.

Even though it was only about half six and there were a few people in the park I was taking a shot of one of the shelters when I noticed a group of four walking towards where I was crouched. I'm pretty switched on so as soon as they got near and split up to circle around me I already had my camera and tripod in my hand and was ready for them.
It turns out assertive and confident voice commands do work after all. They skulked away looking for an easier target. However, as much as I can take reasonable care of myself I don't want to risk my camera so I might have to knock this night photography on the head unless I have company.

A shame, I was enjoying myself. Take care blippers :)

PS: reported to police.
