St Peter's church in Dyrham Park a National Trust Property

Sandringham House is one of the Royal Residences. Located in North West Norfolk it is open to the public when the queen is not staying. This view of May bank holiday Monday in 2009 looks across one of two lakes toward the house.

A very cold and wet sea front at Sheringham on the North Norfolk Coast. A storm heading for the small town with strong winds whipping up the water, a split in the clouds for a moment and a shaft of light breaks through to create this sight. December 2008

Looking up to the Lantern roof in the Octagon of Ely Cathedral 142 ft above the floor this spectacular view really requires a very wide angle lens to get it all in. At night, when lit the lantern can be sen from ten miles away across the fens.The Cathedral is known locally as the ship of the fens.

Taken in York Castle Museum which is well worth a visit. A victorian street scene has been created in the style of those at the Beamish Museum in County Durham, but this one is all under cover and quite amazing. The Museum takes it's name from the site which was at one time York Castle and then a Jail (where Dick Turpin was imprisoned before being hanged). The lamp has been picked out using Picasa 3 freeware from Google .

Norwich market at close of day. The multi coloured roof tops were once a series of tents put up by traders in the past. Today these are now small self contained buildings. The Guild Hall is seen in the background.

A day in Newcastle and surrounding area
A rainy day over the Tyne on the
ferry via North and South Shields in July 2007.
How many old Geordies have made this crossing to work in the now long gone ship yards -what memories -what ruins -what future? The young today may not know the hardships of the past, but they are better off than their fore fathers ever were. Not many passengers on the ferry but this is mid day and the crossing is used a lot at peak hours. Three vessels are used in the operation, which is worked by NEXUS -the Tyne & Wear Public Transport Network. How long before the bridge or tunnel arrives?

Back at the Lynton and Barnstaple on 14 April 2007, two steam locomotive were at work.
The regular engine seen here is Bronllwyd approaching Woody Bay station at 13.18.
The railway has extended to Killington Lane and is now waiting funds to go beyond to Cricket Field Lane and Parracombe hopefully starting in 2009.
For further details please visit www.lynton-rail.co.uk or better still visit the railway off the A39 Barnstaple to Lynton Road.

St Helen's Church Ranworth, which many consider the cathedral of the Norfolk Broads.
It has a certain beauty and a tower which you can climb when open (most days during the summer season)
and view a 360 degree scene across the broads -well worth the visit as there is a nice church side tea room as well.

They now have a train which will go at 180 mph, I wonder where all the investment money went? March station Cambridgeshire September 2006. Privatisation brings many benefits to the rail industry - really?
