As London heads into the Autumn season ('Fall' for USA viewers!), here's another film of the changing parkscape from green to golden leaves.

There is a particularly beautiful park in London's NW4 district (north west of the centre) at Hendon. Sunny Hill Park offers a rich mix of trees and grassland to bring a rural sense to the urban area - and a perfect place to film the beauty of Autumn on 11th October 2007.

Look out for the squirrel!

As part of the launch of LLTV TWO next week, LLTV ONE viewers can enjoy a sample of the sort of innovative and experimental content which will be available from London Landscape TV's new channel.

LLTV One Shot provides a single static view of a picturesque or picture-worthy part of London in high-definition and very high bitrate to give a highly detailed video and satisfy the true concept of a static window on the UK's capital city.

This episode is the full extended shot (of which 30 seconds was used in 'Autumn City') of a static view looking East along the River Thames from the Jubilee/Charing Cross Bridge.

The video has been set up to give HD 720-line 24fps progressive playback at 4.128 Mbps (close to the limit for Apple TV playback).

Enjoy!

The heat of Summer is fading and London's millions of trees are just beginning to turn from green to gold.

This month my aim is to catch this city changing into Autumn gold using the best of high definition video.

On October 4th I had a meeting in Central London but stepped out with the HD camera to the River Thames to catch the Autumn sunshine and watch the many boats and craft plying along the waterway.

This is a very gentle episode - enjoy!
