An immature pigeon, all grey, sits on a slate roof looking at the photographer.
A small (23"?) scale fretted bass guitar with 5 strings. On the headstock is the maker's name: BEE.
Front view of a 6-string headless bass guitar on a leather armchair. It has a purpleheart fingerboard with no markings whatsoever. A packet of gold Labella flatwound strings sits on the arm of the chair.
A variety of instruments in front of a stage. Various trumpets, saxophones, a keyboard, bass trombone and an archtop guitar.
Judge Dredd putting on his helmet. Of course, his face is not shown during this procedure.
Closed curtain of a theatre stage viewed from the front row of the balcony. The interior decoration is in shades of pale orange.
Close up of an ugly and angular spacecraft resembling some sort of cargo hauler. Above the windows of what is presumably the bridge is a confederate battle flag.
A Regency party scene. Donald Sutherland is at work acting whilst I hand around nearby as a well-dressed (in my own clothes) extra.
A black T shirt with a coloured blob and the following text: Gordon Research Conference: Chromatin Structure and Function Tilton, NH July 16-21, 2000
The Reader's Digest book if strange stories and amazing facts. Stories that are bizarre, unusual, odd astonishing, incredible... But true.
Tradesman's van parked on double yellow lines right on a junction.
The partially open door of a pale stone house with a large rose Bush around it. There are red roses flowering upon it.
Screenshot of a message from my bank saying that they have blocked a payment because it's against their policy, but they won't tell me what the policy is or if/when it will change. They suggest paying by another means.
Tradesman's van parked on double yellow lines right at a junction, with turning traffic having to use the other lane.
Reactor dressed in a 19th century French uniform with red trousers, armed with a rifle and aiming it left-handed around a brick doorway in a fortress.
Inside a laptop. A small piece of black plastic sits snapped next to a connector and length of ribbon cable.
Roj Blake and his five human accomplices. He is wearing a jacket with incredibly puffy sleeves, his arms extended as if to dissuade the others from advancing. Kerr Avon's studded leather jacket almost reaches the same level of taste and elegance.
A page from 2000AD (the awesome comic) showing a vampire robot. Its fangs are syringes.
A box of cardboard cornflower badges. Two are marked "1925-2025 100 and de mémoire et de solidarité".
A cartoon in which someone asks a genie to grant them the knowledge of everything there is to know about computer security. The genie complies. Last frame: A look of horror upon the wish recipient's face as they exclaim "oh god".
A large 18th century house in yellow stone. A modern car is parked outside. A downstairs window towards the rear, on the side, is circled.
A small black & white kitten curls up to sleep in a cheese plant.
A Pebble Time Steel showing the activity stripes watch face.
A rock band on stage in a dingy pub. It's clearly an old colour photograph which has suffered from age and then been scanned. The singer, two guitarists and the bassist can be seen, but the drummer is hidden from view behind the singer.
A rock band in a dingy pub. This is clearly a scanned photo from the days before digital photography. The guitarists and bassist have their hands (at which they are looking) at the 5th fret. The singer is looking back at the band. The few audience members visible don't seem to be paying attention.
A slice of sponge cake with white cream icing and red, orange, yellow, green and blue layers.
The same houses, to the photographer's right, on the 15th of Aug. 2025. One, on the right, has been replaced with a more modern stone building but the others remain much the same other than such things as new doors, windows, and satellite dishes. The street is now empty. Now that the photo is in colour the houses can be seen to be made of yellow stone and have pale green doors (a popular colour in this area).
Exterior view of the cockpit of a diesel locomotive. A plate states it was built by the English Electric co. Vulcan Works, no. 3393/D859, built in 1963.
First class compartment on a railway carriage, dating from the 1960s, probably.
An issue of "The LIGHT" - it appears to be a right wing conspiracy theorist newspaper, and is on display under a shelf of sauce bottles (or bottles resembling them). The headline is "computer says no".
A sparse and tasteful lock screen with simple diagonal coloured stripes. It is clearly from an Android phone, not iOS.
A Tesco Value Valentine card. Quality guaranteed! It has a plain design with blue stripes on white.
A ThinkPad L16 sitting on a desk with various cables plugged in. Open on screen, in the GNOME desktop environment, is a terminal showing the output of `rpm-ostree status`.
Christopher Reeve and Jayne Seymour dressed in early 20th century style, standing to converse beside a blue sea.
Proton calendar offers jam tomorrow.
A black and white photo of a row of stone cottages with a thatched roof. There is a hedge and a gate in front. At the gate stands a woman accompanied by a girl and a child in a push chair. They are dressed in early 20th century (I would guess) clothing.

Voltan, dastardly villain of the greatest sword & sorcery film ever, gasps with horror as he sees that his saintly brother Hawk has found the power that should rightfully be his. Behind him is a nun, standing on a table ready to be "hung", because that's how dastardly he is.
A sign showing a young woman inhaling the aroma of a cup of coffee. The French text exhorts the reader to take a coffee break every day.
An ugly American-style truck is parked on double yellow lines in front of two garages with a no parking sign beside them. Around the corner, a penis car marks the end of a row of parked cars obstructing the pavement.
The passenger in a white car raises a middle finger to the car behind, after having performed a boorish overtake.
A sword cane, percussion pocket pistol with accessories and a sign warning of man traps, all in a museum display case.

A cat sits on a lavatory looking pleased with itself. It has clearly hunted, killed and dismembered a roll of paper.

An Odeon cinema commissionaire between the world wars, dressed in a frock coat and hat, and standing with a martial bearing.
Some tiny kittens feeding.
An old stone-walled house out of the wall of which emerges a white plastic pipe. From this pipe comes a stream of water into a bucket below.
Two reecactors in khaki uniform stasding outside and ornate gate with gold painted accents.
