The Tower of London during the day, this is a photo I'd forgotten about and only unearthed from the hard drive a few weeks ago. [Taken: 9th February 2008]
This is the 'bottomless pit' found in Speedwell Cavern, note that it was virtually pitch black in this cave, and required an 8 second exposure. [Taken: 14th February 2009]
The final photo in my Battlefields series epitomises the atmosphere experienced in many of the memorials found. The countless white crosses, each marking a life lost. This the view of the Notre Dame de Lorette cemetery as seen from the Basilicas accompanying tower. [Taken: 11th April 2001]
The 'preserved' trenches found at Sanctuary Wood Museum. These may, or may not be, the exact original trenches from the Frist World War, however they give a great insight to the conditions that many men spent several years living and dying in. [Taken: 9th April 2001]
Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial is series of memorials and preserved trenches commemorating Canadian soldiers who fought and died at this bloody location on the Somme. [Taken: 10th April 2001]
Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme in France. This is a memorial to 72,090 British and South African soldiers who have no known resting place. [Taken: 10th April 2001]
This is my first photo in a series this week depicting Battlefields in France and Belgium. All were taken on a school trip almost eight years ago, and all are rather amateurish (especially since being taken with a simple 35 mm disposable camera). However, I felt compelled to share them. This is Tyne Cot Cemetery in Belgium, the resting place of 11,954 soldiers, the majority of which are British. [Taken: 9th April 2001]
This is the cathedral in Florence, the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is regarded as one of the finest and largest cathedrals in Italy. [Taken: 30th November 2008]
I've decided to join the masses and create a "Photoblog", the only name left that was vaguely similar to this was "Pixog". I enjoy taking pictures, but only ever view my efforts as amateurish, so I've decided to share some of my favourites with the world and see what you think!
