Some shots of the cathedral and nearby University of Surrey.

Looking like a sort of amphitheatre enclosed by a wall, this is a view looking vertically up the side of the cathedral from within an arched recess.

Playing around in Paint Shop Pro I added a bit of drama to these shots of an electricity sub-station.

This has to be the most affectionate cat I’ve met. A regular visitor to the golf driving range, it goes from one mat to the next, rolling on its back waiting for a tummy rub. It makes it rather tricky to hit the golf balls without whacking the cat! Having my pocket camera with me, I resigned to just photographing it for a while. The shots were pretty mediocre so I played around with them in Paint Shop Pro. All except the first one are clickable.

Proving that the local council have a sense of humour. Taken on the seafront at Bognor Regis.

If only all graffiti was this helpful! Taken at a temple in Thailand.

This restaurant in Thailand had a somewhat relaxed approach to hygiene! (Or was this the “dish of the day”?)

This is one of my favourite views in southern England. From the Isle of Portland in Dorset looking northwest towards the mainland. The beach is 18 miles long, and partly separated from the mainland by another stretch of water running alongside. The technical term for this geological feature is a tombolo.

Pebbles on the beach diminish from fist-sized near Portland to pea-sized at the other end. It is said that fishermen landing on the bank at night can judge their position by the size of the pebbles.

Tyneham, Dorset. During the Second World War the inhabitants of this village were evicted, and the land taken over by the army who were expanding their firing ranges. The villagers were promised that they could return to their homes after the war had ended. The promise was never kept and to this day the area is still under military control. Most of the homes of the now deserted village have deteriorated over the years and today lie in ruins. More Tyneham photos here.

Gold Hill, Shaftesbury. This street was featured in the famous Hovis TV advertisement which has been voted the favourite TV advert of all time. It’s actually an excerpt from “Boy and Bicycle” – Ridley Scott’s first film made while he was a student at the Royal College of Art. The boy featured in the advert walking up the hill was his younger brother. Scott went on to direct the films Alien and Blade Runner amongst others.
