A view looking south down Brompton Road at night with Harrods all lit up at & above street level with maybe Venus lighting up the sky. HWW to everybody. Enjoy the day.

Flying with the gulls over Calpe and the Playa de la Fossa!

Great Central Street Leicester with All Saints Church on the left. HWW to everyone. Have a great day.

The Garden of San Pedro de Alcantara is a fine place to sit & watch the world go by, read a book or just admire the view over the old city & castle. HBM to everyone. Enjoy your week.

The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière stands in a dominating position on a hill looking over the city of Lyon. This view is from the banks of the river Rhône.

An evening stroll along the lakeside at Como. The lights heading steeply up the mountainside are on the Como-Brunate funicular railway.

Contrasting 19th & 20th century bridge architecture spanning the Hebble Valley. The Victorian cast & wrought-iron North Bridge was completed in 1871 and as well as the river Hebble it crossed the once extensive railway yards. In fact Halifax Corporation & the Halifax & Ovenden Railway jointly financed its construction. Burdock Way, the modern flyover system, was opened in 1973 to take the A58 and A629 traffic over the valley leaving North Bridge in use for local traffic only. The steps lead down to Dean Clough mill.

Only 50 years later! No steam engines or snow this time. Verdun is overshadowed by the terrible slaughter of the First World War battle but today it is a very pleasant small city. This view over the river Meuse and the Notre-Dame cathedral was taken from our hotel room window at the Jardins du Mess. Before our stay I had wondered about the hotel name and in what condition we would find it.... In fact the Mess refers to the officer’s mess, the role that this building played in WWI.

On a grey pandemic Friday afternoon Nottingham city centre was unsurprisingly deserted. The trams were still running and I captured NET Alstom Citadis type 302 tram number 229 at the Old Market Square (Slab Square) stop. Nottingham's impressive Portland Stone Council House opened in 1929 forms the backdrop.

Bright lights. Big city......

The cathedral at night from our hotel rooftop bar.

Bradford Trolley bus 782, registration CBX912, en route to Clayton Spring 1969. An empty street scene close to Bradford city centre. I have only just noticed that there is a second trolleybus in this view - extreme left. I was walking between Bradford Exchange and Foster Square stations en route from Sheffield to Keighley when I took the photograph. I spy a Ford Corsair taxi tucked in behind the trolleybus. Adams Best Butter is now in a carton pack, you know?
