I spent ten minutes layer masking the lighthouse (because I hate photoshop's dodge & burn tool) so I could increase the contrast of the sky, making the sunset look far more impressive than it actually was, without burning out the lighthouse.
This is the mid-C19 "low lighthouse" or "lighthouse on legs", one of three lighthouses in the small town, and one of the most photographed structures in Somerset.

The Princess Elizabeth, presumably on some sort of test excercise, crossing the 402 m 24 arch Ribblehead viaduct (built 1870-74) in the Yorkshire Dales national park in northern England. The Settle-Carlisle railway was threatened with closure in the 1980s because British Rail did not want to spend the money required to keep the viaduct safe. Fortunately the plans were made long after the public backlash against railway closures had set in, and the closure was strongly opposed, forcing BR to refurbish the line.
I wasn't expecting this train to come along -- a fortutous accident of right place and time.

Portland Bill, at the southern tip of the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England. Sticking over a mile into the English Channel, the waters around Portland are treacherous and known for shipwreaks. I'm not entirely sure what the little coin operated telescope is for, there's nothing but water to see on one side, and nothing but the obelisk to see on the other. Well, actually, I do know what it's for: making money from the parents of small children who insist on playing with the thing.
Taken back in September 2006, and converted to B&W with PS channel mixer's immitation filters.

Lyme Regis is famous for its fossils. sitting towards the western end of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, it is part of a coastline internationally recognised for its geology. Mary Anning discovered the first ichthyosaur fossil here in the early 19th century, and one would be unlucky not to find a fossil on the beach if searching.
These, though, are apparently not real fossils, but replicas made from Coade Stone, a substance I hadn't even heard of until I looked up info on this shot. The pavement outside the museum is made from them.
