A lone person sits on a grassy ridge in the South Downs, with a white windmill behind them under soft spring sunlight and layered distant hills.

Black and white close-up of a windmill, focusing on the intersecting blades and textured structure against a soft sky.

On the ridge, a quiet moment beneath the windmill and a bonus shot: windmill study in light and structure.

Black and white image of a flint church with Gothic arched windows and a lamppost in the foreground, gravestones at the base and an overcast sky above.

Backlit silhouette of a teasel seed head seen from below against a blue winter sky, with sharp spines, fine spider silk, and softly blurred trees at the horizon.

Teasel, back lit and unambiguous. Knowing where to stand matters.

Close-up of a pigeon standing on textured grey tarmac, facing the camera with one foot raised, showing green and purple neck feathers and red feet.

A city pigeon pauses mid-stride on grey tarmac, its iridescent neck feathers catching the light against the muted surface. A minimalist study of urban character.

A woman sits on a wooden bench facing away from the camera at Pevensey Bay, checking her camera beside a modern white house under an overcast sky.

Mum, chimping.
