Sunset at the Pier
The eclipse was totally done by this point but the light was golden.
Foule
We took the train into Victoria, then made the mistake of walking to the National Gallery past Buckingham Palace just as the changing of the guard was set to begin. We were penned in and were allowed to go neither forward nor backward for about 20 minutes, stuck in a crowd of tourists with volunteers warning of pickpockets. But, of course, nothing can be said to have happened unless it’s been captured on a phone.
Rana Begum, No. 1367 Mesh
I first saw this backlit, as you see here, and didn’t think much of it, but as I progressed through the museum, catching views of it from different angles and in different light, I kept seeing new pictures of it.
No Flies on Me
Bell Tower

Kemptown Streets Leading to the Sea
On a walk home from Kemptown I was struck by the many interesting streets leading down to the beach and the English Channel. I’m not sure any of the individual pictures make the grade but as a small collection…?
Metternich Slept Here
Flight of the Langoustine
I’ve photographed Hove Plinth before, but now from a different angle with more sea and the flight of a seagull. I was scouting the viability of this path for a “dividing the frame” group shoot.
Hide Out
We sat in a hide and gazed through the window slots at this peaceful pond or lake. As a gentl breeze blew across the top of the water, specular highlights shimmered towards us. Impossible to capture the movement in a still photograph, I still attempted to get the magic of the scene.
Some Trees in Bloom
Wakehurst Botanic Garden
Idyll
In the Garden
A couple days after our hike from Devil’s Dyke (about 3 weeks ago, now), friends who were members took us to see the Wakehurst Botanical Garden. I carried 2 cameras: one with a 16-55mm zoom (24 – 82mm equivalent) and the other with the 60mm macro (90mm equivalent). It was hard not to take lots of pretty pictures which I’ll be showing here over the next few days.
Hands Down
Afloat
A view through Afloat, commonly known as the Doughnut, in Brighton.
West Pier, Again
As the i360 descended we caught a view of starlings gathering for their murmuration.

How the Cookie Crumbles
When the aliens arrive, they’ll know where to stay – the Hilton Doubletree!
Piering Down
A view of West Pier I’ve not had before, looking at it from above, with reflections.
