The walkie talkie building towers over two older buildings like an alien machine with malicious intent. People walk by as if oblivious to the danger just out of sight.
The window shades on the outside of a curved face of a multistorey building appear as coloured stripes between curved black lines
Ghostly apparitions of feet and legs pass through the centre of the frame, walking through a pedestrian tunnel with a vaulted brick roof.
A tunnel leads away and to the left. Made up of panels which have changing colours behind them. At the point the picture was taken it's mainly red with Yellow, Green and Purple at the far end
A modern skyscraper towers over a church spire
St Paul's Cathedral across the river Thames lit up against the evening sky with the millennium bridge cutting across from the top right
Rex is sitting in the shadows casually panting away the afternoon heat His red collar is matched by the red tee shirts of the people behind
A sheepdog patiently waits on top of the Shepherds Quad next to the whitewashed farmhouse wall. Tongue out, ears pricked in readiness.
Till is sat calmly looking directly at me with an unknown expectation in her eyes. Her silver whiskers are glowing a burnished bronze in the light of the room we are in and she is framed by the legs of her owner
https://ysp.org.uk/art-outdoors/seated-figure A painted bronze statue of a man seated on a three legged foldable stool, while holding a brown leather satchel, looks out over the landscape of woods and fields towards Emley Moor television transmitter in the distance. The sky is a mixture of cumulus clouds lined up against the blue above.
After the heat of the day, fluffy dark tones of cumulus clouds are scattered across the orange sunset sky Rooftops of houses drifting off to sleep fill the bottom quarter of the picture
A church with a spire, nestles in the shadow of mature trees against a sharp blue sky. In the foreground is a metal gate with horizontal bars against a thick wooded post. The grass is light brown from the heat and lack of recent rain.
A juvenile sparrow sits on top of a wooden fence looking off at something to the left. Foliage behind out of focus making a soft background
A blue residential sky coloured with streaks of powdery peach and orange
Painted lady feeding on knapweed
A setting sun has partially dropped behind a section of woodland on the horizon. In between there are a patchwork of fields, one nearest the camera green with growing maize the others further away gold with barley and wheat. Lines of trees mark field boundaries and electricity lines trail through on pylons and poles. The sky occupies the top half of the picture, peach fading up through to the palest of golds at the top
A field of mixed flowers jumbled together on a flood plain and back lit by the almost setting sun throwing orange halos around the edges
The sunrise illuminates mist in the valley glowing golden as the vibrant greens of trees and grass wake up with the morning light
A motorcyclist accelerates away from a bend in the road after crossing a dam wall. In the back ground someone crouches to pick up something one of their dogs has dropped and then behind that the waters of a reservoir backed by a line of pine trees.
A footpath heads straight on between pine trees. The packed earth dry from the current dry weather. In the middle distance the path turns out of sight.
Overlapping fungi blooming from a trunk. Smooth and slightly golden against the rough bark.
A moorland valley with mature trees on the lower levels. Bilberry, bracken and heather make up a patchwork on the slopes.
A large Oak tree with sinuous branches spreading amongst it's canopy of bright green leaves. Back lit by the sun peeping from behind one of the larger thicker boughs.
The mid summer northern sky A mix of rich colours from bronze low down through ultramarine to indigo high The street lights are blown out through the exposure staggered left to right over and up the street
A snail with extended tentacles crosses paving heading into the camera. It's shell is behind the focal plane and slightly blurred.
Full moon in the bottom right quarter of the shot. The rest, a black backdrop.
Towering cumulus clouds rise above lower grey strata bright white reflecting the sun. The heat of the day has built these great masses of water ready to drop
A predominantly white butterfly sits on a broad blade of grass, highlighted against the shadows beneath it.
A cluster of slumbering bees sat below a flower head. The grasses behind are warm from the sun back lighting the bees and giving them a glow.
A Kestrel is stood on a wooden fence post looking back in the general direction of the camera over it's left shoulder. The post is wrapped with wire from the fence, the top strand being barbed. The background is blurred.
A panoramic aspect of grasses rising against a bronze evening sky before sunset. Strands of different lengths bend different at different angles with some tree tops softly out of focus in the background
Half a Box Tree Moth on the inside of a window. Veins stark against the sky behind them
Drax power station, burning wood transported from North America in the background with wind turbines slightly nearer with solar panels in the foreground which are sited on an old colliery spoil heap which was a consequence of mining coal for the power station in the background (among others)
Spikes of vibrant yellow flowers in the darkening evening. Stems at multiple angles through the picture mainly right to left.
Pale yellow moon just over half with the craters near the terminator
The moon, seen through threads of clouds The lowest clouds are already in shadow as the sun has sunk so low and are dark and brooding
Peach candy floss clouds stretch away from bigger clumps against a royal blue sky
A brilliant white moon veiled behind peach coloured clouds at sunset
The petals of an Ox Eye Daisy from a cup around the yellow domed centre. Other Daisies are out of focus behind
A small solitary bee collecting pollen from a yellow corn marigold. The flower is side on offering a rough crescent facing the top left.
A bank of cloud trails from the front right, narrowing towards the horizon, spotted with lower grey cloud which is already out of the sun. The lowest part of the picture is in full shadow.
Pale crescent moon on a brand new denim blue background
The night sky with a crescent moon and Venus framed between two layers of cloud
A Painted Lady butterfly with wings open wide splashing it's colour as it gathers warmth from the tarmac
A long strip of poppies contrasts with the stems of grasses along a field edge
The black and white butterfly is partially obscured by blades of pale green grass.
A daisy stands highest above grasses and other flowers blown by the wind
Early spring trees cast shadows across a country lane. A house and outbuildings occupy the right hand side and the sky behind it all is bright.
Two Marbled White butterflies hang upside down from a flowered stem, back lit by an evening sun
A Marbled White butterfly, white wings traced with black veins, matt black eye, feeding on a purple knapweed flower.
A pink/purple pyramidal orchid sits amongst a sea of daisies and diagonal stems. Almost lost in the crowd but standing out enough.
A Marbled White butterfly, white wings traced with black veins, matt black eye, seemingly blank and impassive. It is hanging onto a white flower which is past it's best and the background is stems of grass of varying shades.
A crane leans at 45 degrees in the distance. Hanging out over a canal reflecting the pre dawn colours of the sky
A seabird, wings spread towards and away from the camera. Head still, eyes gazing down to the left
A spike of light pink flowers in the centre of the picture surrounded by sap green grass
