Seven bright red open poppies growing in a garden.
Looking upwards into the spreading branches of a tree, backlit by the sun. Brick walls and houses glimpsed in the background.
CD cover showing a young-looking Andrei Gavrilov in evening dress sitting at a piano.
Five ceramic piggy banks: the father in a black suit and red bow tie, the mother in a blue top, the son in blue trousers and braces, the daughter in a green dress, and the baby in a nappy with a large pin.
Close up of the blossom of a flowering cherry tree. New leaves are just starting to sprout. A bumble bee visits one of the blossoms.
A number of people visiting a Christmas fair at night. A brightly-lit traditional roundabout. A stall selling sausages with an illuminated windmill on top. A white illuminated big ("Ferris") wheel in the background. The pavement wet from recent rain.
Goods on display at a Christmas market stall: model houses and other decorations.
A stone-lined tunnel with steps rising and curving to the left, towards an unseen light source.
A bright red poppy flower with a green background, of the poppy plant and a fence.
A stone wall with several interlocking arches.
A pencil drawing of three figures standing next to each other, a grandmother and grandfather on either side of their granddaughter. The figures are labelled 'Mamie', 'Ines' and 'Parpar'.
Two pillars of white stone seen from below including two carved figures facing each other. The background is a dark blue sky.
A copy of Bach's prelude for organ 'In dulci jubilo' BWV 729 lies on the music rest of a piano by Rogers of London.
An underwater passage in an aquarium with a transparent arching roof. Underneath one of the joints in the roof is a plastic bucket next to a sign which says "Beware, slippery floor".
A view looking up into a tall dome. The effect is one of concentric circles. An outer ring contains sixteen statues. A ring inside that contains sixteen windows. The rings inside that contain blue geometric patterns.
Two similar views of the Maison Kammerzell (1472) in Strasbourg, the upper taken in 1982, the lower in 2024. The photos show two rows of windows with carved wooden frames. The lower photo is considerably sharper and shows more detail.
I am standing in front of a motorway service station in France, looking happy.
Looking up a stone staircase. The steps are very worn. In the middle distance the steps curve round to the right leading to some arches.
A view of the roofs of the Gare de l'Est in Paris.
