The petrified remains of a troll, Hvítserkur rises 15 meters from the sea. Geologists would tell you that it is a sea stack composed of basaltic rock, but what fun is that? #photography #Iceland
A dark rock formation resembling a drinking rhinoceros rises from the sea. Behind it, the clouds catch the light of a sun that is beginning to set at 20:30.

Tree dragon protecting Victoria Tower Gardens, a Thames-side park.
Look carefully and you can see a face marked out in the trunk and bark of a London Plane tree.

Customers enjoying a lunch in sunshine on the TAMESIS DOCK Bar.
This converted blue and yellow Dutch barge has fantastic views of London and the Thames. Low tide here but she floats as on the rising tide.
