#FacesInPlaces - and misty legs, floating arms. I know we're a few weeks off #Halloween, but it was getting a bit spooky as the @metwalkers.bsky.social wandered around #Chelsea yesterday

A white stone bust of an older man is lit in a dark park, near bushes and a bin

View over Albert Bridge, lit up at night. Crossing the road in front of some cars is what looks like part of an impossibly thin figure - a foot, connecting to a leg and arm - but only a blur where body and head should be.

A large clock above a shop window has the text "Worlds end" on it, and its one clear clock hand has the image of an arm holding a sword attached to it.

Under two small air vents someone has drawn a mouth with its tongue sticking out, and above the vents are two eyebrows, creating the appearance of a face.

Sometimes all you need is a walk in the woods to clear your head.
⠀⠀
With more woodland than any other National Park in England or Wales, there are plenty of tree-covered trails to escape to in the South Downs.

Heading to the coast to enjoy the cliffs? Remember to keep your visit safe and sound.⠀
⠀
Cliff falls happen completely at random. Enjoy the views, but please do so well away from the edge and base of the cliffs.⠀
