A black and white photograph taken in Upton-upon-Severn, Worcester, UK.
I reckon this was the Cooperative Society Branch No.5 Worcester shop which is now a 'brick-a-brack' shop.

A black and white photograph, on Fomopan 400 Action 35mm film - developed in Kodak HC110.
The scene is of some construction timbers that have been recovered and then thrown onto a piece of land scrubland. Nature has begun to take its course as grass grows up entwining the wood.

A colour photograph of part of an art installation, which consists of spot welded stainless steel panels with cascading water flowing down the faces.
This image is of two of these panels. The one on the left is lighter in colour and giving off a rainbow effect and the one on the right is darker, though in that darkness is an even darker shape darker shape, which is in fact the photographer.

Lit by late afternoon, low angle, sunlight from the right - with a reflection in the pond of a single overhanging branch and some blue and cloudy sky.

A colour photograph of what was once a cheese warehouse facing the Welsh Back, Bristol, UK.
Nowadays a block of apartments, with one story of red brick at the base, then five stories of cream panelling and two slate-grey stories for the penthouse level at the top of the building. 
With water out front and boats moored next to it.

A colour photograph of Weston Bay Harbour just after high tide. Taken on what was a sunny day though it turned cloudy. Then a darker bank of cloud came rolling in over the Grand Pier.

A colour photograph of the 'T' Junction, at the top end of Broad Street, Bristol, UK.
Opposite, on the other side of the road, are rental bikes & scooter stood in front of a hoarding covered in graffiti and street art.
There are a few bare trees and a defunct building, forming a backdrop to the scene, which is also covered with street art.

A black and white photograph of a small foot bridge which leads from Castle Green to the Ex Bank of England and Norwich Union Buildings, Bristol, UK, which are now off limits and surrounding by wooden screen boards. These hoarding and the buildings themselves are covered with graffiti and street artistry. Which I'm calling 'Dismay Land'.

Taken on the beach looking out to sea where Steepholm can be seen in distance and on the right middle of frame is the Grand Pier, just catching what little light there is, on a cool, dull grey and cloudy day.

The jetty-ways here are attached to black, with white tops, riser poles that float up or down with the prevailing tides. Three of these poles occupy the left, centre and right points of the image. The focal point is a listing yacht, 'Oops-A-Daisy', near the centre riser.
The scene was captured on a grey, cloudy and rainy day - though the rain had abated at this point. The water in the foreground is quite glassy giving off reflections.

A black and white photograph, taken at Weston Milton Halt, W-s-M, Somerset, UK.
A 'Sprinter' Train comes to a stop at the platform and people move ready to get on. As that happens, two women, with their backs to the camera, emerge from the throng. Their attire causes them to standout as it is more in keeping with, perhaps, a hen night; whereas, mostly, the other people are dressed for winter.

The weather is a cloudy, though low angle sun is breaking through from the right and it has previous rained, which slowly is drying out.
There is graffiti on the aluminium dimple plate, fixed to both inner sides of the footway.
