A silhouette of a square building with an external spiral staircase next to a large tree under a sky of fluffy clouds. A block of flats in a simple utilitarian style in concrete and glass. In front is a canal and long boat. A mid-century glass office building towering over three bare trees growing on the forecourt. Two tall apartment blocks called The Sentinels stand over all other buildings nearby. In between is a light pole in the foreground.

The brutalism of the New Street Signal Box building with an uber eats cyclist riding past in front of it. The curvy, shiny exterior of the Bullring building under a bright sky with fluffy clouds. Historic, brick building in a Victorian, industrial style with a sign "Rolling Mill" painted onto the facade. In front on the pavement is 2 overstuffed dumpster bins. The classical style facade of the Council House in Birmingham underneath a grey, cloudy sky. A Union Jack flag flutters from a tall flagpole overhead.

Definitely not in the UK anymore, Toto. 🪃🇦🇺🏝
A cute quokka curled up for a nap. A tiny quokka joey inspecting a stick. A man wearing a blue shirt holding two boomerangs used for music. A very blue sky and blue water with coral and rock outcrops.

In lack of better ideas, the historic Ignacy coal mine is always a reliable photo location...

Underneath a large, cavernous bridge space over a canal. An historic brick factory building on a canal with a brick chimney stack. In the foreground there are a couple of long boats on the water. A 3 level brick building sits on a bridge over the canal. A path alongside the water walks past some historic buildings. A brick bridge over a canal with a tall apartment building in the background.

Totally harrowing but necessary for Australians to view and understand, IMO.

Then, if you're a bit depressed by the subject, you can watch a modern musical road movie! m.imdb.com/title/tt1148...
I frequently get a certain song from this film in my head. 😄

A rear train carriage is shrouded in steam. Looking down an historic train platform. On the tracks is a long set of carriages. On the platform is a man in an early 20th Century outfit. Further down the platform if a large sign declaring it to be "Platform No 1" and a man carries a small child. Looking into a train carriage and 2 small white lamps sit on tables in the window. One lampshade is slightly askew A train platform with a brick building sits in the background behind a set of 2 wooden benches and an old pram full of pots and pans. The pram has rough writing on the side that says, "Up yours Adolf!".

When I first arrived in the UK, in 2002, the Loughborough fair was on, and I visited. 🎡🎠

Here are some photos of the fair taken 23 years later.

Loughborough Fair is in its 804th year in 2025. 🫨

A fair ride lit up in the dark swings up to nearly vertical, holding the riders upside down. Silhouetted fair attendees watch a lit up fair ride. A fair attendant stands amongst the lights and fog of a fair ride, helping folks to get on and off the ride. Silhouetted fair attendees watch on as a brightly lit carousel spins around.

I posted my films to AG late on Wed night, and I had the scans in my inbox by Friday afternoon. They nearly beat me home on my flight to Australia! 😄
Scans look good. 🫶

Looks like we should have the negs back easily by the end of next week. 🤗
Recommend these guys!🎞

Last night in the UK. Spent the last 36 hours in Birmingham before I fly out of BHX tomorrow.
Sent my 4 rolls of XP2 off to AG Photo Lab, and 🤞 my partner gets them back before he comes back to Aus.

Birmingham phone snaps

#Birmingham #mobilephonephotographu
A view from inside a train car towards a bridge and trees outside whizzing past. Looking through a window to the reflection of a historic building on a mirrored building facade. A very square armchair made of plastic and fake cash bills sits abandoned next to a bright red dumpster in front of a graffitied wall. Utilitarian buildings and a green narrow boat are reflected in the still waters of the canal.

B&W photo taken on a beach, in the foreground a rock protrudes from a pool of water, leading to a white reflection on the wet sand caused by a lighthouse standing where the water meets the sand. Clouds in the sky swirl around the lighthouse.

A very British series of images 🇬🇧🌧🌂
A wet road with cars' headlights and brakelights shining under a very grey sky. A buffet spread of yellow and beige foods such as scones, pork pies, hot chips, cakes, sandwiches, wraps, honeyed sausages and mini quiches. Folks walking along an English country lane next to a green field. A public footpath sign next to a field and a stile over a wooden fence.

Some of my favorite aurora photos from tonight.

It’s honestly wild to me that I’ve been able to see this twice with the naked eye within the city limits of a city as big as Chicago. So lucky.

I found some topiary because my photography teacher said he hates it. 🏡🌳

#EnglishVillage #NikonD750
A driveway with 2 green, round trees on skinny trunks next to it leads to a red brick 3- level house. A white 2- level house sits behind an imperfectly round topiary bush with orange flowers. 2 funny shaped and small topiaries sit awkwardly in front of a barber shop in a house.

Village scenes 🏡🌳

#EastMidlands #EnglishVillage
A timbered house sits on a narrow road, and a more modern red brick house sits further up the street as the road winds to the left. A row of cars are parked in front of red bricked terrace houses. In the foreground is a light pole with a large red paper poppy hangs on it. Colourful bunting of prayer flags hangs on iron railings in front of a timbered house with a thatched roof. A thick green hedge grows atop a stone wall. Behind the hedge, a red brick double storey house is partially visible. On the street in front of the wall is a garden bench, a green salt bin, and a low street sign that says "Church Street".

Wandering the village to stretch my legs after a long flight.

The colours on the falling leaves are pretty. 🍂🍁

I've been awake since 4am.

#EnglishVillage #NikonD750 #Autumnal
Fallen orange and red leaves on green grass lie in front of a historic stone church. A wooden gate with a bright red poppy blocks a tarmac drive lined by a hedgerow and tall trees with yellow leaves. A metal gate covered in overgrown vines sits in front of a vast grassy field. The field is lined with trees of yellowing leaves. In the distance is large electricity pylons. A stone church and stone boundary wall are partially shaded by a tree with a few yellow leaves left. In front of the wall, the ground is covered in yellow fallen leaves.
