Sitting on a Buddleia bush on the Isle of Wight, this butterfly basks in the warm sunshine.

After some 31 x years on Island Line after some 51 x years before that under the streets of London, Class 483 Unit 006 waits to go into a happy retirement on the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. The newcomer Class 484 Unit 004 waits to shunt into the Sidings at Ryde St Johns Road.

A Class 484 on test at Fareham on a hot sunny afternoon. These trains are replacing the old 483 Units that have carried out over 30 x years of service on the Isle of Wight (after 50 x years on the London Underground).

A warm Summer day at Eastleigh and a Shunting Signal is glimpsed through the trees.

From a late spring perspective, the Spinnaker Tower is seen from Portsmouth & Southsea High Level Station.

With temperatures well below Zero, the early morning sun shines over Long Valley Sidings in Basingstoke where a Class 450 Desiro from South Western Railway awaits its next trip.

The rain turned to sleet and then for a short time to wet snow on the last day of January 2021.

A very cold freezing fog across much of the South East of England leaves a frosting on these trees in Haslemere.

my sister told me that, this art is looking like a tree. So I name it "Mother Earth". I used acrylic and ballpen to this one ☺️

c.s. Pacific Guardian braving atrocious weather in the North Atlantic. This was the big storm that "Pac-G" endured on her first attempt at repairing the CANTAT-3 submarine telecoms cable, off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland in January, 2007 I was not there, (fortunately!) - So I definitely was not the photographer. (If whoever took thi sphoto would like to post a comment or send me an e-mail, I would be glad to give the credit where it is due!)

A small passenger ferry weaves its way through a mass of barges on the Huang Pu near Shanghai, China. A busy river, this one! Photo taken from aboard c.s. Wave Mercury, on passage up the Huang Pu to the SBSS cable depot at Wujing - some time in 2006

This is the ledge that a pair of nest-building birds, (some kind of North American Swallow or Swift?) chose to build their home on... The little ledge they chose must have seemed ideal - south-facing and out of the wind - and the ship that it was on hadn't been anywhere for a couple of weeks already... Little did this hapless couple know, that they had set up home on a ship that was just about to set sail across the Pacific; on a three week voyage from the West coast of Canada to Japan. NOT a good place to try to bring up a nest full of fledglings, especially if you depend on insects for your food?! Well, luckily, they hadn't yet laid any eggs when their little nest was discovered... It was with extremely heavy heart that I removed their lovingly crafted home and threw it into the dock, water. But sometimes, you have to be cruel to be kind? Better that they were evicted and forced to build a new home somewhere else, than for them to have to abandon a nest full of fledglings to starve to death, as the ship sailed out across the Pacific Ocean... These birds were mightily annoyed with me at the time, though - for destroying days of work and countless flights back and forth fetching bits of grass and mud. Ever thought of putting a ledge someplace on your house for swifts and swallows to build their nests on? At least, your house isn't going anywhere soon! Photo taken aboard c.s. Wave Venture at Victoria, B.C., Canada - May, 2007

Photo taken on a bright, sunny but windy day in, 2007. This photo marks the end of an era - not only for the c.s. (cable ship) Wave Venture but for the old Cable and Wireless Marine, (latterly Global Marine Systems,) Victoria Station. At the time this photo was taken, Wave Venture was loading cable from the depot and preparing to leave Victoria - probably for the last time...
