Early morning workers, and the occasional tourist, cross Westminster Bridge on a cold, dark December morning. In the background is Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

London Eye from Westminster Bridge

11 Dec 2014 144
The River Thames glides past the London Eye – a Ferris wheel – and Country Hall on an early December day in late 2014. Photographed upon Westminster Bridge, the setting made famous by William Wordsworth. Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802 By William Wordsworth. Earth has not anything to show more fair: Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty: This City now doth, like a garment, wear The beauty of the morning; silent, bare, Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie Open unto the fields, and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. Never did sun more beautifully steep In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill; Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep! The river glideth at his own sweet will: Dear God! the very houses seem asleep; And all that mighty heart is lying still!

Red-booted, Fiona Cornick, atop the Devil's Pulpit. Legend has it that the devil preached to the monks below at Tintern Abbey, tempting them to desert their order. The ruined remains of Tintern Abbey can be seen in the background next to the River Wye.

Christmas lights in Bridgwater, Somerset

17 Dec 2014 106
Robert Blake, 'Father of the Royal Navy' and former Bridgwater Member of Parliament, stands outside the Corn Exchange, which is adorned with Christmas lights, December 2014. Coming from a film background, I still find it astonishing that the above picture was exposed at 3200 ASA/ISO. There is good detail in the shadow areas and digital noise is mimimal.

Dursley town centre. c.1978

01 Jan 1978 139
Not the prettiest view of a town centre, but this was how Dursley looked like at the end of the 1970s. The large building is the Market House, built in 1738. Today, in 2014, the shop fronts have changed, the geometry of the road is different, and the shop on the right 'Wilkes' has been demolished.
