The striking carpet of leaves baffling motorists and pedestrians
London’s streets are often described as dirty and drab. But this road in the capital has been given a dramatic makeover following the spell of unseasonably hot weather and early autumnal leaf fall.
On first glance, it could be any ordinary road on an October day, covered with thousands of fallen leaves. Except there’s something distinctly out-of-the-ordinary about this.
The carpet of leaves comes complete with abrupt, geometric edges - made all the more striking by the patches of unaffected tarmac next to it.
Motorists and pedestrians have been left baffled by the display. Could it be a street art project designed to brighten up the area?
However, there appears to be a more logical explanation. It is thought that last week’s blistering heatwave and an early fall of leaves on to a sticky, non-slip section of tarmac created the collage
Up close, the leaves appear to have been pressed into the tarmac by cars driving on top of them. Whether this spectacle lasts into winter remains to be seen.
