A subway train at a platform. However, the doors of the train are tilted about 15 degrees anti-clockwise from the rest of the train. The view from the platform looks directly through both sets of open doors to the opposite platform where a bench is visible. The bench is slightly tilted too implying the platform is not on a level gradient. The doors have “Taksim” written on them.
A book entitled “The story of the Victoria Line”. Along with the title text is a picture of a tube train, the silhouette of Queen Victoria and the logo of the Victoria Line (a blue “V” superimposed with the Tube roundel)
A black coloured dragonfly resting on a stone wall. The sun is casting subtle shadows around it as the sun is low in the sky.
A terrier looking enthusiastically directly at the camera with his mouth open and ears perked up.
A grey tabby lounging in a sunbeam on the floor. He’s looking directly at the camera and lying on his back.
A tree trunk with an old-timey analogue clock attached. The clock face is slightly wider than the width of the trunk, and the time shows 3:43.
View from high up overlooking the city. Foliage is visible in the foreground in abundance, and the sun shined bright in a blue sky filled with of wispy clouds.
An unusual looking church bell tower. Concrete and brutalist, it’s shaped like a church steeple and sits at ground level with the three bells clearly exposed to the elements.
A photo of a building undergoing demolition. All that remains is the supporting arch, the rest is rubble on the ground. A fence along the sidewalk prevents access to the construction site.
Two cats facing each other on the bed. The cat on the left is black and looking directly at the camera. The grey tabby on the right is averting his gaze.
A zoomed in photo of a rainbow. The arc of the rainbow is low in the sky.
A shopfront absolutely covered in union flag bunting and paraphernalia.
The package for a Nintendo Gameboy “game”: Berlioz French Translator from Infogenius. The cover design has what looks like a stylised face with the French flag sketched over it.
An iPhone notification: “Updated Time Zone Information Available. Restart to apply new time zone definitions.”
A shelf in a grocery store with 12 pots of Marmite.
An evening view of the old incinerator in Rosemont taken from the nearby cycle path. The sky is light blue with orange clouds as the sun sets and casts its light. Graffiti covers parts of the main incinerator building and chimneys, indicating people regularly trespass and scale the structure.
A man abseils down the outside of an office building in hard hat and harness. Distant bulkings are visible in the background making it clear this is very high up indeed, maybe the 15th floor.
Looking upwards from a station platform. Behind metal rafters and brickwork the sky is visible, with a red bricked house at ground level along with some trees. The top of a train is just visible.
The mouth of a railway tunnel large enough to contain two tracks. There’s the presence of moss or lichen on the brickwork surrounding the tunnel. The edge of the platform is visible and it looks like an underground station given the lighting doesn’t look natural.
A drone shot of a stretch of railway track curving through a cutting between a field and some woods. There are two sets of two tracks, and one has a train on it. At one end is a tunnel mouth and in the background are the two groups of skyscrapers of central London and the Docklands.
A glass espresso cup filled half way with coffee sits in the circuit board of an upside down laptop hard drive. Around it is a keyboard and some wires.
A MacBook Air with its bottom case removed. Of the four battery banks, two are alarmingly bulged, looking like they’re ready to burst.
A cliff face covered in ice. The ice shows notes of blue amongst the white, making it look almost like an ice berg.
A tower peers through bare autumn trees.
A sign on a bus stop showing two bus routes (164 and 170). The 170 shows a mysterious station named “Monkland” as a destination en route.
A late 2012 Mac Mini in a disassembled state. Screw drivers surround it and sticky notes with loose screws on them are attached to the table.
