Down the Tracks
These views down the tracks were taken along the stretch of the Kent & East Sussex Railway that approaches Bodiam station. For any children reading, before I went on the tracks I checked to make...

Pett Level Flood Defenses
The picture of Pett Level above shows the height of the sea defences. The land is only just above sea level and it is these defences that keep the sea at bay and usable for livestock. Of course, it used…
The Shard of Glass, London
The Shard of Glass is London’s tallest building so it only seemed right to show the entire structure. Shame that lady walked past, but then you don’t see that many yellow coats these days. I haven’t been to the viewing…
Hastings Underground Car Park
Hastings Underground Car Park was designed and built by Sidney Little. It was opened in 1931 and was the first large-scale underground car park in the world. It is a listed building. Sidney Little was the Hastings Borough Engineer between…
Sculpture at St Pancras Station by Paul Day
The sculpture at St Pancras station is a fantastic piece of work. It has been created by artist Paul Day, whose other work includes the Battle of Britain monument and Queen Mother Memorial in London. The work series of panels…
Herstmonceux Castle
Another day out, another overcast day but this time at Herstmonceux Castle. The daffodils are defying the miserable weather though and add some much needed colour to the drabness of sky. This picture looked a bit flat originally, so…
Rock-a-Nore Groyne
This day was cold and overcast like most days have been in 2013. On this day at least there was some contrast in the clouds. This groyne at Rock-a-Nore would have the other arm of the harbour, had it…
Hastings Pier and Bottle Alley
I liked this particular perspective of Bottle Alley and Hastings Pier. Where the vanishing point of the alley intersects with the entrance to the pier. There was good news for Hastings Pier in November when the Heritage Lottery Fund…
By The Seaside : The Secret Of The Sea
I was struggling to find something to write about this photo, so I looked for some appropriate poetry instead. I found a verse by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, a prolific American poet who lived between 1807 and 1882. I wondered if…
Two views of Ryde Pier, Isle of Wight
Ryde Pier on the Isle of Wight is the 681m pier from which you can catch the Wightlink Catamaran for the 20 minute journey to Portsmouth. The original pier was built during 1814 so that visitors to Ryde didn’t have…
Albert Dock, Liverpool
I briefly visited Liverpool and stayed in a hotel within the Albert Dock buildings, the worlds first non combustable warehouse complex. What was once on the cutting edge of commerce and trade is now a UNESCO world heritage site, with…
Perspective Blocks, South Bank Centre
These blocks are outside the South Bank Centre, London. I approached them from the far end so could not see their purpose at first. From that end looking toward where I took this photo from they are just different sized…
