Neglected window seen from outside. Inside there is an old net curtain and a dirty teddy bear sitting on the ledge looking out

A black and white photograph of a large, classical-style glass building, likely a conservatory, set back from a wide paved area. A lone figure is walking across the pavement in the foreground, with a large, dark tree obscuring part of the building on the right. The sky is bright and clear. and the scene is characterized by deep shadows.

A black and white photograph showing the corner of a modern glass-and-steel greenhouse or pavilion, with a striking arched design, situated next to a reflective pool of water. The low sun is visible through the glass panels, creating a bright flare and strong reflections on the water's surface. A line of bare trees and a distant horizon complete the composition on the right.

A black and white photograph of a modern glass building with vertical white columns reflecting in a still pool of water, leading the eye toward a traditional building and trees in the background. A person walks on a pathway to the right.

RIP Martin Parr. I worked with him once on a story about the NHS. I interviewed and he photographed Britain's busiest and least busy GP. I think he was brilliant and this is one of my favorites of his.

A solitary white yak grazes quietly beneath the vast Himalayas, its heavy coat glowing against golden autumn trees and the immense sweep of snowy peaks rising in dramatic contrast behind it.

This winter landscape photo shows a snow-covered field bordered by a wooden fence in the foreground. A lone leafless tree stands on the left, while a frozen lake stretches across the middle ground, reflecting the vivid blue sky. Snow-dusted mountains rise in the distance under a bright, partly cloudy sky, with a few evergreen trees dotting the shoreline.

The Iron Bridge in Shropshire. Completed in 1779; the first finished large scale cast iron bridge in the world. Made from iron smelted close by in the Severn Valley it spans, the bridge is a symbol of the Industrial Revolution and is curiously complex and beautiful with a span of 30 meters. #bridges

Photo of a spiral staircase taken from above looking straight down. There are four bright lights at the bottom of the stairwell shining upwards, illuminating the black wrought iron balustrade

The photograph depicts the building of a former textile company. The elongated structure is captured in its entirety. A small turret in the centre visually divides the building into two halves. In reality, the turret is merely an architectural hint on the faรงade, a playful use of form. The photograph shows the state of the building long after the company ceased operations. The site has been cleared, and the actual production halls had already been demolished at the time the picture was taken. By January 2012, when the photo was taken, it was already decided that this building would also be demolished. It stands as a ruin: some window panes have been broken, and the roof shows signs of damage.

Facade of a former textile factory in #Nordhorn. The building had become a 'lost place' and was soon demolished after this photo was taken.

The image depicts a stained glass window in the Berlin Cathedral, featuring Christian symbols. The central symbol is the Christogram, composed of the first two Greek letters of "Christos." The letters Alpha and Omega are visible on the left and right. At the top is the letter Delta, and at the bottom is the letter Iota.

Night view of the corner window of a cafe bar, with globe pendant lights inside, dangling chains of LEDs inside the window, and the chairs and tables barely visible inside. On the window is the reflection of pictures from the front of an estate agent's opposite. The words 'CAFร‰ BAR' are written on the window, and the word 'BAR' above it; there is a pedestrian zone signpost to the left.

This is a picture of an aurora borealis over the sea. The colours of the sky is mainly green, with touches of red, pink and yellow. Small rocks firm the foreground.

A little stone bridge crossing a small unseen gully. The path is gravel & dirt with golden leaves freckled across the surface. In the distance mostly barren trees & shrubs with tall evergreen interspersed. The sky is a hazy white with a beam of sunlight crossing the middle of the bridge. Path winds into the unknown.

I like to imagine you there, behind a veil of crisp autumn air, beyond a beam of cool sun, barely out of reach yet stubbornly hidden from my mortal human eyes. Oh, how your light still shines as it walks with me.....
