THIS ARE CONKERS, AND THEY LOOK LIKE CHESSNUTS BUT ARE UNFORTUNATELY NOT GOOD FOR THE TABLE! 
MAY I SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO LEON (see his comment bellow), FOR HIS KEEN EYE SPOTTING THAT THE "NUTS" IN THIS IMAGES ARE NOT CHESSNUTS - THEY ARE IN FACT CONKERS (CHESSNUTS LOOKALIKE) BUT NOT GOOD TO EAT! IN FACT YOU'D BE "NUTS" TO TRY AND EAT THEM AS I'M TOLD THEY ARE POISONOUS! THANKS LEON! AFTER COMPARING THEM TO THE ONES I HAVE AT HOME... THERE IS A DIFFERENCE! 
I THINK CAROL AND A FEW OTHERS SPOTTED IT AS WELL!
Following my theme on "Nuts", this two shots were taken last year in Alexandra Palace - North London
Thank you to everyone who has voted and remarked on the last two "Nutty" uploads

Must say Isabel both captures are excellent, the DOF used on V1 is great providing a perfect defocused background, for the knowledgeable way they have been taken have my UA. The lens in use is excellent for the price, I use mine a lot.

Nice Autumnal images. May I add that the write up is referring to Sweet chestnuts and the images are of Horse chestnuts and not edible. Sylvia
Two well taken shots, very different. V1 takes it for me 
Lavina
May I point out these are horse chestnuts which are conkers!and are not edible, do not mistake them for the common chestnut which is edible, and has a pointed shape rather like an onion, conkers are poison and could make you very ill indeed if not kill. having got that out the way! yes two very good shots of conkers like both good light and detail, well done just change the narrative please! regards Leon.
A colourful complimentary background to go with a fine image of the conker, Isabel.
