Paparazzi Snap Fox! by John Hooton

Last night I found the contents of a garbage bag dragged along the back yard of my South London home, so I decided to catch the culprit tonight after his evening of celebrating. Just gone midnight young Brer Fox turned up. “Who me?” said his look and with a quiet pop he was immortalised by the Fox Paparazzi forever!

Lighthouse - Beachy Head by sstocker

Red and white striped lighthouse tower, below Beachy Head, East Sussex, UK. Suprisingly, I couldn’t actually find the name of this lighthouse – it simply appears to be the “Beachy Head Lighthouse”. Completed in 1902 and subsequently automated in 1983.

Thistle amongst the poppies by Alomie

Taken on 28th June 2009, in a field by the Devils Dyke. I saw this thistle amongst the poppies in the field, and thought it was a shot I couldn’t miss! I love the seemingly infinite amount of poppies and the single thistle amongst them. Model: NIKON D60 / Shutter Speed: 4/1000 second / Aperture: F/8.0 / Focal Length: 55 mm / ISO Speed: 100

They were all here by Ursula Rodgers

With all these names scratched into the surface of these bricks, I’m surprised that there wasn’t a name, followed by the familiar ‘woz ‘ere’! Taken with a Canon EOS 450D, Norwich (UK). Featured in South East UK, June 2009.
Where are you headed? by BettinaSchwarz

As you think, you travel; / and as you love you attract. / You are today where your thoughts have brought you; / you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. / You cannot escape the result of your thoughts, / but you can endure and learn … . / You will realise the vision (not the idle wish) of your heart, / be it base or beautiful … / for you will always gravitate towards that which you, secretly, most love. / Whatever your present environment may be, / you will fall, remain or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. / You will become as small as your controlling desire; / as great as your dominant aspiration. / ~~ James Allen This quote has accompanied me for more than half my life now … I found it printed on the bottom of a box of herbal tea … I was still at school back then, had just started high school. What did I know about life … I thought I knew it all and yet I knew I knew nothing and had everything to still discover :) ... I had little idea of the meaning or implications of this quote … yet it struck me as profound and important. I cut it out … and to this day I have the same piece of cardboard, slightly faded and worn, with the quote ever so faithfully accompanying me … and with each passing year, as I discover more and more, the quote grows in meaning and magnitude … / I hope it stirs some fresh thoughts for you too :) ... happy journeying :) Question remains: Where are you headed? Featured in Color Me a Rainbow May 2009 – Thank you kindly! :) Featured in Out of the Blue in May 2009 – there are some incredible blue works on display here … go on, go have a look! ... honoured at the feature – thank you!

Delapidated by Laura Kelk

This poor mill is neither used nor looked after nowadays. Situated on the River Thurne on the ‘long walk’ from Horsey Mill, Norfolk, UK. This is Brograve Mill. A few weeks later I returned and snapped this mill again, but on a less sunny day. It turned out well in a sepia toning. /

Old Postcard by bobculshaw

This is my first attempt at a montage. I started with a RAW image taken of Winkle Street (Barrington Row, Calbourne, Isle of Wight) on a recent trip to the Isle of Wight. I converted to B&W and added layers and textures, added a lady and dog from a copyright free vintage photograph. I then sepia toned in an attempt to create an ‘old photograph’ I then added a border, self created and placed all on a black background to give an appearance of a photo album page. I hope you like it – I greatly enjoyed creating it. PLEASE VIEW LARGER Featured in the Retired and Happy Group 6th November 2009 Copyrighted with MyfreeCopyright.com Ref: / MCN: C4PDD-JU6VM-T4DSA

Reflected domes by mikebov

Brighton Royal Pavilion / The Prince Regent, who later became King George IV, first visited Brighton in 1783, as his physician advised him that the seawater would be beneficial for his gout. In 1786 he rented a farmhouse in the Old Steine area of Brighton. Being remote from the Royal Court in London, the Pavilion was also a discreet location for the Prince to enjoy liaisons with his long-time companion, Mrs Fitzherbert. The Prince had wished to marry her, and may have done so secretly; however this was illegal owing to her Catholic religion. Henry Holland was soon employed to enlarge the building. The Prince also purchased land surrounding the property, on which a grand riding school and stables were built in an Indian style in 1803, to designs by William Porden. Between 1815 and 1822 the designer John Nash redesigned the palace, and it is the work of Nash which can be seen today. The palace looks rather striking in the middle of Brighton, having a very Indian appearance on the outside. However, the fanciful interior design, primarily by Frederick Crace and Robert Jones, is heavily influenced by both Chinese and Indian fashion (with Mughal and Islamic architectural elements). It is a prime example of the exoticism that was an alternative to more classicising mainstream taste in the Regency style. After the death of George IV in 1830, his successor King William IV also stayed in the Pavilion on his visits to Brighton. However, Queen Victoria disliked Brighton and the lack of privacy the Pavilion afforded her on her visits there (especially once Brighton became accessible to Londoners by rail in 1841) and after her last visit to Brighton in 1845, the Government planned to sell the building and grounds. The Brighton Commissioners and the Brighton Vestry successfully petitioned the Government to sell the Pavilion to the town for £53,000 in 1850 under the Brighton Improvement (Purchase of the Royal Pavilion and Grounds) Act 1850.[1] The town used the building as assembly rooms. Many of the Pavilion’s original fixtures and fittings were removed on the order of the royal household at the time of the sale, most ending up either in Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle. Although since the Second World War, the municipality of Brighton has spent a great deal of time, effort and money restoring the Pavilion to its state at the time of King George IV, most of the current fixtures and fittings are replicas of the originals. / (text from Wikipedia) / Panasonic G1
