The Canadian National Vimy Memorial is located on Vimy Ridge in the north eastern corner of France. The memorial is dedicated to the thousands of Canadians who gave their lives in battles of The Great War around Vimy Ridge. Even today much of the land around Vimy is out of bounds […]

The writing is on the wall for this abandoned and ruined church. Chester is a great place for Christmas shopping by day and atmospheric photography by night.

I tried my hand at some night photography whilst in London. Where better to start than around Tower Bridge? Here is City Hall keeping it’s beady eye on the City of London.

When we think of Westminster, we often think also of Westminster Abbey. However, Westminster is also home to Westminster Cathedral. The cathedral is quite well hidden behind modern shops and offices on Victoria Street. The interior of Westminster Cathedral is in stunning Byzantine style. Attached to the cathedral is a […]

Where better to go on a Sunday than Godshill Church? This church stands on the top of a steep hill but was originally intended to be built on a flat, easy accessed area at the bottom of the hill. Legend says that construction on the intended site had begun, with […]

The Flintshire Bridge is nicknamed by the locals as “The Bridge to Nowhere”. I cross the bridge regularly which means I can understand why the locals chose that nickname. It’s usually a quiet road. The dual carriageway bridge does seem to be a little bit of over-kill for the […]
