Type 45 Destroyer
This photo was taken when travelling on the ferry from the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth. The Type 45 Destroyer cruised very slowly into the Solent, and never got close enough for me to pick out much detail even at…

Distant Rain
The past 17 months have seen the driest conditions on record in the East of England, and the South East isn’t fairing much better. This report from the Environment Agency shows that river flow, reservoir and ground water levels are…
