I like taking photos, going to interesting places, and history. Sometimes I take photos of interesting historical places

A poster for (Don't) Sink the Bismarck! With the tag line They had one job..and this is the handful that had to do it!
An attic space with ornate plaster ceiling. The floor is thought to be wonky because originally there was a bell tower above it, which deformed the building.
A sound mirror, essentially a large concrete bowl.
A group of red and black bugs. European firebugs.
A model of a Cromwell tank on a cobbles street.
A head-on view of a bright yellow Shorts Scion aeroplane inside the nave of Rochester Cathedral. It was built in the Rochester esplanade factory near the cathedral in 1937.
A hand holding a camcorder at a gig.
Kate Nash playing a guitar, with a violinist in the background.
Kate Nash sitting behind a Yamaha keyboard, singing. She's wearing a yellow dress, and has a blue teapot and an asthma inhaler on the keyboard.
A shop called Gaslight Gift Shop. There is a sign in the window that says Store Closed.
A deer with large antlers grazing
A captcha that says "select all images with stairs", with a grid of 9 various images (some of which are stairs)
"This is fine" meme dog, but he's saying "this is average"
A giant wooden 3D wound man with swords and other weapons stuck in him
A shipwrecked mariners society collection box. I say box, it's an old sea mine.
A job advert for "Pork Sector Director"
The car from Monopoly
Leonardo DiCaprio pointing while holding a can of beer and a cigarette
A row of camera equipment mountings from Google Streetview cars lying on a warehouse floor
Frank Carson. It's a kraken.
A statue of Mercury, with his hand raised to the sky, and bird poop on his chest
A railway line disappears into the distance. Trees tower above it either side, and in the distance the entrance to a siding.
The gun port of the pillbox, covered in ivy.
The M20 motorway. Quiet because it's a Sunday. Well, quiet in terms of traffic. It's shockingly noisy when you've just walked out of a pleasant field to cross over it.
A modern bridge over the River Medway. There's lots of trees and bushes on the river banks.
The medieval bridge at Aylesford. In the background is the church, and the village.
The underside of a modern concrete road bridge. The bridge is reflected in the water below. This is the River Medway. The tide is out, so the water level is low.
A 1/35 scale PIAT
Model tank instructions with drivers hatch labelled in German, which is "fahrerluke"
A concrete area with white chalk cliffs above, and grass on top of the cliffs. On the concrete wall someone has chalked the words "Bum Bum!"
Father Ted and Father Jack, with the caption "That would've an ecumenical matter"
A graph showing the increasing number of teams in the world cup
The cover of Led Zeppelin IV. A framed picture of an old man carring a bundle of sticks on his back.
The searchlight openings and the ladder to the beach
The cliff face with three openings cut into it. It looks like two eyes and a mouth.
A brick lined room in the cliff face, with an opening to the left and a doorway to the right
A tunnel in the chalk, a mysterious shadow on the ground stretches into the distance. Ok, it's my shadow.
A wooden door, open to reveal a tunnel cut into the chalk
The remains of a shipwreck on the beach.
An eroded footpath leading down towards the sea, with chalk cliff on the right hand side
A path alongside the cliff face, with a handrail because it is quite steep and narrow
Steps cut into the chalk, leading down from the cliff top
A chalky path leading down the cliff top. In the distance is the port of Dover.
A path curves round and down behind a small grassy mound. On the top of the mound is a public footpath stone marker.
A landscape photo of the white cliffs at Dover. It's a nice sunny day, blue sky, blue sea. At the base of the cliffs is a grey pebbly beach.
A colour 1940s photo of a woman about to drop a round into a mortar tube. Two more are lining up holding a round each. In the background are more women watching.
Two universal carriers jam packed full of women war workers. They look like they're having a fun time.
A picture of Grimlock from Transformers the Movie, with the caption "Me Grimlock no Bezos, Me King!"
Models of a Spitfire and Me109. They're held up by wire so they look like they're flying over a map of the English Channel.
The cover of a book called "VE-Day". There are several photos on it related to VE-day: troops on ruined buildings, jubilant crowds, *record scratch* Adolf Hitler?
A stone carving of dragon. It is curled up around itself, and looks quite cosy.
A screenshot of my Bluesky feed. A post with a picture of Macron with his hands together, underneath a post about slaps. So my brain thought Macron was playing slaps.
Mars inside the nave of Rochester Cathedral. There are lots of people standing around and underneath it. The photo is taken with a fisheye lens so it's a bit distorted.
A door with a sign that says 'St. Simon Stock Room'
An Outspan Orange car on a race track. It's a Mini, but with a body shaped like an orange. There are people inside, waving, because that's what British people do when they're in a moving vehicle looking out. I took this photo at the Goodwood Revival, which made me very happy because as a child I had a book with a drawing of one of these in it.
A deer in Knole Park. The deer has antlers, and a grey coat. The deer at Knole are wild, but there's a stately home in the park, so they're quite used to people being around. This photo was taken with a 600mm lens, so I kept my distance from them.
A screen grab from the Monty Python sketch "All-England Summarize Proust Competition". A group of men in black tuxedos stand next to a gameshow score board. The host of the game is dressed in white.
A black stone memorial, with text in Hebrew and English. It reads: In remembrance of all victims of persecution. In memory of Fritz Moritz Wertheimer (1884-? Auschwitz) Rosa Wertheimer (1890-? Treblinka) Their lives were cruelly cut short. May their souls rest in peace. This memorial was erected by their loving daughter Inge in 1997.
A wood pigeon, on top of some sunflower seeds. But the seeds are in a bag, on a shelf, in a shop
