The #52frames theme last week was Nature. Oxford's Port Meadow is full of it, including the ponies you see here, shot just after sunset down at grazing level.

A typical day on Westminster Bridge last week, taken for the #52frames "Shoot from the hip" challenge. The second image of the two friends was way more popular than the rickshaw driver, which is my favourite.

The Gothic Temple reflected in the lake at Stowe a few weeks ago, when colour was just arriving. Fun fact: you can book a stay at the Temple.

Captivated? A longing look at Radcliffe Square? We'll never know but it does make this photograph work.

One more Dartmoor shot, if only because this looks like something out of a Lord of the Rings movie. This was taken in about 60 minutes of sunlight at the end of what had been a relentlessly rainy day.

Another wet and windy day in Devon, another water scene! The River Plym (no prizes for guessing where that meets the sea) was full of with water from Storm Benjamin here in Dewerstone Woods.

Wistman's Wood on Dartmoor is just one of a few remaining temperate rainforests in the UK. I find it hard to photograph because it's spectacular but also visually "noisy". It was pouring with rain and blowing a gale (storm Benjamin).

Great Staple Tor on Dartmoor last weekend at sunset. The clouds are Storm Benjamin gathering. I'll post an image made in the wet and windy storm later this week!

Don't go chasing waterfalls they said, but on this overcast day the River Tavy on Dartmoor was a great subject. This was taken hand-held at 8mm (12mm equivalent) at 1/15 (thank you IBIS).

Last week's #52frames challenge was a "day to night" image, so I thought I would have a go with the Radcliffe Camera. It was harder than it looks because the Rad Cam is not lit after dark, so I chose to shoot just after sunset, so you can still see it

I visited the newly-opened Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities last week under sunnier skies. This dome structure sits over the central atrium and working area. It's a great building with excellent facilities.

I visited RAF Upper Heyford last weekend, a former USAF Cold War base. Fascinating history (the heritage centre guides were great)

1: Watchtower in the nuclear weapons area
2: Mural opposite a nuclear bomb store
3: 6 inch thick blast door
4: Hardened aircraft shelters where F-111 bombers were kept

A Stormy day on a North Devon beach. The tide was rushing in flecked with foam, the wind blowing hard, leaving patterns on the sand to be washed away by the next wave.
