This was taken during our visit to Cornwall earlier at Land’s End. The unusually balanced rock on a distant cliff (with what seemed to be like a human figure sitting under it) first caught my attention. I deliberately included the silhouette of a distant passing ship to balance the final composition.
The Queen’s Guards (or British Royal Guards) remind me of toy soldiers that we used to read about in children’s books. I like the bright colours of their uniform compared to the camouflage fatigues of modern day soldiers. Taken during our recent visit to Windsor…
I took this in Oxford, UK on my way back to London after teaching on a course in Manchester last week. An unusual heatwave (the hottest end-September since 1895!) greeted us when we arrived. We packed our thick clothing and travelled in light t-shirts and jeans… something we would only have done back in hot and humid Singapore!
