Paris Street
Incongruity was what struck me about today’s picture, taken on the streets of Paris in spring a couple of years back. On the one hand, it is instantly recognisable as the French capital from the building style, the trees and … Continue reading

Dusty bottles
I took this picture in a museum in upstate New York back in 2009, although to my shame I can’t remember exactly where I shot it. The things which people discard, the detritus of day-to-day life, can be just as … Continue reading

Reflecting windows
At first glance, today’s image looks very neat and symmetrical, but on careful examination it’s full of untidy disruptions to that sense of order. One of the columns of windows sits slightly recessed from the others, carving a deeper line … Continue reading

Lincoln’s Inn Fields
Lincoln’s Inn Fields, I am told, is the largest public square in London. Tucked in next to one of London’s four great Inns of Court, it is today a beautiful space in which workers come for a lunch or coffee … Continue reading

A long break
Well, it’s been around three weeks since I last posted up a photo – sorry about that! I’ve had a busy few weeks toing and froing from the WW1 battlefields of France and Belgium with tour groups, beginning with a … Continue reading

New River pumping station
In some ways, today’s picture looks rather empty, but it shows a view which I liked when I used to live in Hertfordshire. The New River, which flows through the picture, was constructed in the early 1600s to bring fresh … Continue reading
