Didn't get a chance to compose this photo, barely had time to set the camera to an optimum shutter speed before the fire engine came past, leaving nice streaks of light.

Playing with channel mixer to imitate red filter on black and white again. These are the extensive switching yards in the Mill Creek Valley west of Downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. This is looking north from the art-deco double-decker Westernhills Viaduct, which crosses the valley between the originally named suburbs of Fairview and Fairmount. On the left is the Mill Creek itself, now constrained by concrete banks, with no habitats for small mammals and birds, and optimised for downstream flooding. The Union Terminal Station to the south of the viaduct now gets two passenger trains each weekday. The valley here is lined with wonderful crumbling derelict factories and warehouses, but it's difficult to get good views of them, as they're often obscured by ugly fences and portable offices. The newer industry is a few miles up the valley.
I took this from the metre wide shoulder of the viaduct, while those ridiculously oversized American cars came past far too close. It's not suprising everybody drives everywhere when it's so dangerous to cross this by bike, and impossible to walk across.

Stourhead is a 2,650 acre (11 km²) estate in south west Wiltshire at the source of the River Stour. The gardens were designed in the mid-18th century by the banker Henry Hoare II, who owned the estate. The lake was achieved by the construction of a dam accross the Stour. Since 1946 the estate has been owned by the National Trust and has been their second most visited property, behind Wakehurst, several years running.

I love this view, even after passing it hundreds of times. It's taken from the cycleway. Behind the camera is the barbed wire fence of HP's labs and the university, with the MOD, shopping mall and ring-road beyond. To the right is Lockleaze School and Bristol's northern suburbs. To the left is the motorway and Bristol's north eastern suburbs. Just over the hill behind the transmitter is Tescos, Ikea and then Bristol city centre. But if you compose the photo right you can pretend none if it's there.

"The High Cross stood for three centuries at the very centre of mediaeval Bristol on the crossroads formed by Corn Street, Wine Street, Broad Street and High Street. Commemorating Edward III's charter of 1373 granting county status to the town, it was brightly painted and decorated with four statues of mediaeval kings.
"In 1733 it was removed at the request of local residents, who found it a 'ruinous and superstitious relick' and public obstruction. For a few years it stood on College Green, but was once more removed when it was found to obstruct ladies and gentlemen walking on the green. It was then taken to the gardens at Stourhead in Wiltshire, where it had remained in safety and splendour without obstructing anyone ever since. A replica of the upper section of the Cross stands in the gardens of Berkeley Square, off Park Street."
