Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F3F04F - Atmospheric view of the Kelpies at The Helix near Falkirk and Grangemouth in central Scotland. The pair of monumental horse head sculptures rise above the surrounding parkland under dark, dramatic clouds, while rainwater in the foreground creates a reflective pool that echoes their distinctive outline. The image captures both the scale of the artwork and the shifting Scottish weather, giving the famous landmark an impressive and moody presence.
Designed by sculptor Andy Scott and opened in 2013, the Kelpies stand around 30 metres high and are among Scotland's best-known contemporary public artworks. The sculptures are modelled on Clydesdale horses and were created to celebrate the strength, endurance and contribution of working horses to Scottish industry, agriculture, transport and canal history. Their name comes from the kelpie, the shape-shifting water spirit of Scottish folklore, linking myth with the waterways and wetland setting of The Helix.
Located between Falkirk and Grangemouth, beside the Forth and Clyde Canal, the Kelpies form the centrepiece of a wider regeneration and leisure landscape that includes paths, open green space and visitor facilities. Since opening, they have become a major Scottish tourist attraction, drawing visitors for sightseeing, photography, family days out and short breaks. The close-cropped composition, dark sky and water reflection emphasise the sculptures' steel-clad surfaces, muscular form and striking architectural character. The photograph works well for themes including Scottish tourism, iconic landmarks, public art, engineering-inspired design, horse sculpture, visitor attractions and atmospheric travel imagery. As one of the most recognisable sights in central Scotland, the Kelpies are regularly used to represent Falkirk, modern Scottish culture and successful post-industrial regeneration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EKDAPD - . Swans on the Bridgewater Canal at Lymm, Cheshire, England, UK. Photographed on 25 May 2026. The recorded location is Bridgewater Canal, Lymm, Cheshire, England, UK. Two white swans face each other on the dark green canal water, their necks forming a heart-like shape as their orange bills nearly meet. The still water and mirrored shapes create a calm and decorative composition, while the location gives the scene clear regional context. It can illustrate wildlife features, Valentine's Day themes, animal behaviour, nature photography, waterway conservation and the role of canals as habitats as well as transport and leisure corridors. The birds' symmetry and the heart-shaped pose give the image broad visual appeal beyond a straightforward wildlife record. In relation to canal restoration, historical context shows that britain's canals were built principally in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to move coal, raw materials and manufactured goods cheaply between industrial districts, ports and growing towns
Locks, basins, bridges and towpaths survive as engineering heritage. For the story of farm landscape, it is useful to note that plants and seasonal countryside details provide precise markers of the agricultural and botanical year
Flowering, harvest, autumn colour and winter dormancy can all be used to compare evolving seasonal patterns over time. As of 2026, the position for canal restoration is that the condition and funding of ageing waterway infrastructure remain recurring issues, while canals are valued for navigation, walking, cycling, biodiversity and urban regeneration as well as heritage. For present-day farm landscape, 2026 is significant because seasonal nature photography also has growing relevance to phenology , as researchers and the public pay more attention to changes in flowering, rainfall and the timing of autumn or spring. Relevant long-tail terms include inland waterway, canal heritage, and lock gates.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EFEG0Y - . West Midlands Police car reflected in the glass frontage of Birmingham New Street station, England, UK. Photographed on 2 October 2023. The recorded location is Birmingham New Street station, Birmingham, West Midlands, England, UK. The marked yellow and blue police vehicle is parked beside the station while the distinctive reflective facade creates a mirrored view above it. Major stations are regularly policed because of their high passenger numbers and importance as transport hubs. In relation to law enforcement, historical context shows that courts and police buildings are physical expressions of the justice system
Their entrances, crests and signs identify the institutions responsible for criminal and civil proceedings, public order and local administration. For the story of AA, it is useful to note that road accidents and damaged vehicles are part of the history of road safety, prompting improvements in vehicle design, seat belts, speed management, emergency response and highway engineering. The historical setting for rail heritage is that stations are both functional transport interchanges and pieces of civic architecture
Their canopies, footbridges, booking halls, signal boxes and signage reveal how passenger expectations and railway technology changed from steam-era operation to today's increasingly digital network. As of 2026, the position for law enforcement is that courts and policing remain closely linked to debate about access to justice, case backlogs, community safety, estate modernisation and public-service funding
Photographs of buildings and signs can illustrate the institutional setting without implying details of any individual case. For present-day AA, 2026 is significant because road safety remains a major policy concern , while modern vehicles add sophisticated driver-assistance systems without eliminating collisions or the need for recovery services.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RE4PK0 - . Panorama of Northwich Quay - Geomac Canal boat marina on the River Weaver Navigation, London Road, Northwich, Cheshire, UK, CW9 5HD. Photographed on 13 July 2023. The recorded location is Northwich Quay Marina, London Road, Northwich, Cheshire, England, UK, CW9 5HD. Northwich Quay Canal Boat Marina is ideally located for exploring some of the nearby attractions. The marina is just a short distance from the Anderton Boat Lift, a remarkable engineering feat and a popular tourist attraction. The nearby Delamere Forest offers beautiful woodland walks and bike trails, while the nearby town of Chester is home to a range of attractions, including the historic Chester Cathedral, Chester Zoo, and the city walls. The historical setting for leisure boating is that canal infrastructure is a legacy of the Industrial Revolution, when navigable waterways linked mines, mills, factories and ports
The same lock chambers and towpaths now support leisure cruising, walking, cycling, wildlife and waterside redevelopment. Seen through harbour town, the earlier context is that working harbours combine civil engineering with everyday transport
Their breakwaters, piers, navigation lights and boarding areas reflect successive generations of investment as traditional fishing and coastal shipping have been joined by tourism, cruise traffic and lifeline ferry services. For urban housing, the historical context is that housing photographs document evolving ideas about density, tenure, architecture and neighbourhood design
Tower blocks, suburban estates, converted industrial buildings and private apartment schemes each represent different responses to demand for homes in particular periods. In the 2026 discussion of leisure boating, the condition and funding of ageing waterway infrastructure remain recurring issues, while canals are valued for navigation, walking, cycling, biodiversity and urban regeneration as well as heritage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R22XM3 - As Liverpool prepares itself for the arrival of the spectacular Eurovision Song Contest this year, Royal Albert Dock Liverpool has revealed the first of its celebratory events to mark the occasion, one which promises to dazzle and delight both local and international visitors.
In the run-up to 13 May and the contest's Grand Final, a huge series of events are being rolled out by the dock.
From Ukrainian food and drink, live music events to creative pop-ups, the jewel in dock's programme is the installation of a 10-metre artwork, Floating Earth', which will shine brightly in the dock from 28th April - 18th May.
The piece, by artist Luke Jerram, uses detailed NASA imagery of the Earth's surface, and provides visitors with the opportunity to see our planet floating gently in three dimensions - creating Liverpool's most incredible backdrop.
Floating Earth will be in situ in the dock's inner quay over the early Spring Bank Holiday and Coronation Bank Holiday, as well as throughout all of Eurovision's key dates, including two semi-finals and the Grand Final on Saturday 13 May.
Visitors can view the installation daily from 12-10pm for free, accompanied with a soundscape by BAFTA award-winning composer Dan Jones. Sensory-friendly viewings, without the soundscape, are available on Sundays.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K0WRHM - Bolton Interchange is a transport interchange combining Bolton railway station and Bolton Bus Station in the town of Bolton in Greater Manchester, England. The station is located on the Manchester to Preston line and the Ribble Valley line, and is managed by Northern Trains. The station is 11+1⁄4 miles (18.1 km) north west of Manchester Piccadilly. Ticket gates have been in operation at the station since 2016.
The railway station was originally named Bolton Trinity Street to differentiate it from nearby Bolton Great Moor Street station which closed in 1954. The station was also known as Bridgeman Street Station and Bradford Square Station.
From the railway station, there are frequent services to Manchester Victoria, Manchester Piccadilly, Clitheroe via Blackburn, Wigan North Western, and Preston. Services operating to Victoria and Piccadilly operate through and terminate at other regional stations, such as Manchester Airport and Stalybridge. There is 1 train per weekday from Southport to Leeds. There is no return service.
The entrance and ticket office are at street level, at which there is a footbridge to the bus station and a taxi rank. A walkway leads to the platforms which are in a cutting. The main island platform has a buffet. The original main station building was demolished in the 1980s, but the Victorian buildings survive on the platforms. The clock tower was dismantled and rebuilt next to the new station.
Several bus companies provide a comprehensive route network of services around Bolton and the surrounding areas, with some subsidised on behalf of Transport for Greater Manchester: Arriva North West, Stagecoach Manchester, Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire, Tyrers, Diamond Bus North West, Blackburn Bus Company, Vision Bus, and Rosso.

Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG is a German international discount supermarket chain that operates over 10,000 stores across Europe and the United States. Headquartered in Neckarsulm, Baden-Württemberg, the company belongs to the Schwarz Group, which also operates the hypermarket chain Kaufland.
Lidl opened its first UK store in 1994. Since then, Lidl UK has grown consistently, and today has over 800 stores. While it is still a small player in the United Kingdom, with a grocery market share of less than 5%, its importance, along with that of continental, no-frills competitor Aldi is growing, with half of the shoppers in the United Kingdom visiting Aldi or Lidl over Christmas 2014.
The Lidl operation in the United Kingdom took a different approach than in Germany, with a focus on marketing and public relations, and providing employee benefits not required by law, including paying the independently verified living wage and offering a staff discount. Upmarket products were introduced, especially in the lead-up to Christmas. This required significant investment in marketing to produce sales growth but had an effect on Lidl's logistical operation and pressure on profits. Ronny Gottschlich, who had run Lidl UK for the six years to 2016, was responsible for this approach, which led to friction with head office, due to the cost involved. In September 2016, Gottschlich unexpectedly left and was replaced by the Austrian sales and operations director, German-national Christian Härtnagel. Lidl continued to have ambitious investment plans in the United Kingdom, ultimately doubling the number of stores to 1,500. In the financial year of 2015, Lidl Great Britain's revenue from its over 630 stores throughout Britain was £4.7 billion

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFFFME - Queen Victoria and the Oliver Cromwell statue
The gates were made for the International Exhibition of 1862, and then intended for Queen Victoria's Sandringham home in Norfolk. The Queen was meant to see them for the first time at the exhibition but, clearly visible through the gates, was a statue of Oliver Cromwell.
As Cromwell had signed King Charles I's death warrant, royalty didn't like him very much. The Queen's courtiers realised she wouldn't be amused to see the statue, and diverted her.
Coalbrookdale found it hard to find a buyer for such grand gates, so Monks was able to buy and bring them to Warrington to stand at the front of the town hall lawn. Monks also presented the cast iron Cromwell statue, designed by John Bell, to Warrington in 1899. It now stands on Bridge Street and is Grade II Listed.
The design
Because the owner was supposed to be Queen Victoria, the gates have four winged figures of Nike, the goddess of victory. They also had a Prince of Wales motif above the arch in the middle, but this was changed to Warrington's Coat of Arms.
The grand opening
Such grand gates needed a grand opening. So on Warrington Walking Day, 28 June 1895, Monks ceremoniously opened the gates with a golden key and the church groups set off from the town hall lawn, through the gates and on to their walk.
The iconic golden gates are Grade II* Listed, along with the gate piers and the lamps which line the driveways at either side of the town hall. They are also part of the Town Hall Conservation Area. The gates have recently been refurbished to repair, enhance and preserve them for future generations

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFFFNE - Warrington Town Hall, on the north side of Sankey Street, was designed and built in 1750 by James Gibbs as an elegant Georgian mansion, known as Bank Hall. It was a home for local merchant Thomas Patten and his family.
As more traffic started to use Sankey Street, the Patten family built a high brick wall in front of the building to give them privacy. But when the council bought Bank Hall in 1870 and turned it into Warrington's new town hall, local people started to complain that they were paying rates which helped to look after the building but they couldn't even see it!
So Frederick Monks, one of the town's earliest councillors, came up with an idea. As a local ironmaster, he could give the town hall a fitting entrance.

The fountain, where the north tower of the World Trade Center once stood, was undergoing tests of the massive pumping systems that will blast 26,000 gallons a minute over the 30-foot deep black granite walls.
Daniels, who happened upon the test yesterday, said the sight of the water filling the 1-acre pool was awe-inspiring after years of planning and building.
Construction workers from around the site paused to look and listen during the tests as engineers below the memorial plaza monitored and adjusted the 16 pumps that will circulate 480,000 gallons of recycled water.
During the design phase of the memorial, there were concerns that the fountains might be too loud. But Daniels said the sound of the cascading water yesterday created a nice, peaceful background, like the sound of the ocean.
It's perfect. It's not overwhelming at all, Daniels said.
A second fountain over the footprint of the south tower will be ready for testing later this year. A spokesman for the Port Authority, which is overseeing construction of the $500 million memorial, said yesterday's trial run went very well.
The two fountains together make up the nation's largest manmade waterfalls, and are at the heart of the design of the memorial, called Reflecting Absence.
Paula Berry, a 9/11 family member who served on the 13-member jury that picked the memorial design by Michael Arad, was ecstatic about the test run.
The presence of water is incredibly important at the memorial, said Berry. When you think of the memorial's name, Reflecting Absence, you have to have the means to reflect and the water plays that role.
But Berry said the sound of the water rushing over the sides of the fountains could very well be one of the most lasting impressions visitors take away.
Yesterday's tests lasted a few hours, and will be repeated as needed.
Construction of the memorial remains on schedule for its planned opening next Sept. 11 the 10th anniversary

The chain was founded in 1974 by Yorkshire-based father-and-son team Chris Edwards Sr. and Chris Edwards Jr. In contrast to many high street retailers, Poundworld maintained strong sales and growth during the global recession that started in 2007.
Poundworld's product range consisted of over 6,000 items including groceries, health and beauty, toiletries, cleaning products and pet care. some of them known brands
At its peak it had 335 stores in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. In 2014, it was planning to open 150 new stores within three years.
Its larger rival in the market was Poundland. A series on BBC One entitled Pound Shop Wars, broadcast between 2012 and 2015, concerned Poundworld and its rivals.
As well as all of its £1 lines, Poundworld introduced a range of multi-price products across its estate of stores in 2017 to offer customers 'More Choice, More Savings'.
Suffering intense competition from the addition of multi-price products, combined with difficulties arising from the weak pound, Poundworld entered administration in June 2018. Closing sales began in stores late that month. In July 2018, Poundworld confirmed that all stores were to close by 10 August 2018 after rescue talks with original founder Chris Edwards failed

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P9FFM2 - The Cheshire Ring is a canal cruising circuit or canal ring, which includes sections of six canals in and around Cheshire and Greater Manchester in North West England: the Ashton Canal, Peak Forest Canal, Macclesfield Canal, Trent and Mersey Canal, water.htm Target=_Blank>Bridgewater Canal and Rochdale Canal.
Because it takes boats approximately one week to complete the circuit, it is suited to narrowboat holidays that start at and return to the same location. The route has 92 locks and is 97 miles (156 km) long. It passes through contrasting landscapes between Manchester city centre and rural Cheshire with views of the Peak District and the Cheshire Plain.
The term Cheshire Ring first appeared in the Inland Waterways Association (IWA) Bulletin in 1965,[2] where it was coined as part of a campaign to prevent the abandonment of, and restore navigation to, part of what had been known as the Peak Forest Circular Route between Manchester and Marple. When commercial carrying declined after the Second World War, sections of the Rochdale, Ashton and Peak Forest Canals that make up the urban part of the ring had gradually fallen into disuse, and by the early 1960s were impassable, with little depth of water and many locks in an unusable condition. There was a risk that the canals would be abandoned, and infilled, as they were becoming stinking eyesores. Perseverance by the IWA and the Peak Forest Canal Society paid off, and on 1 April 1974, following restoration, the ring was re-opened to navigation.
The Rochdale Canal (unlike most other canals in England) was not nationalised in 1947, and remained in the ownership of the Rochdale Canal Company. Both the Rochdale Canal and Bridgewater Canal escaped nationalisation as a result of being owned subsidiaries of the Manchester Ship Canal company.
In 2002, as part of the restoration of the Rochdale, ownership of the Rochdale Canal Company passed to the Waterways Trust, and British Waterways became the navigation authority, bringing to an end the £3

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H6JMRT - Aberdeen Harbour was the first publicly limited company in the United Kingdom and is today the principal commercial port in northern Scotland and an international port for general cargo, roll-on/roll-off and container traffic. The harbour also serves NorthLink Ferries, which sail to Kirkwall, Orkney and Lerwick, Shetland. The Aberdeen Maritime Museum (on Shiprow in the city centre) includes exhibitions and displays which tell the story of the harbour and its role in the economy and development of the city.
Originally, the defective harbour, with a shallow sand and gravel bar at its entrance, retarded the trade of Aberdeen, but under various acts since 1773 it was greatly deepened.
By the Harbour Act of 1868, the river Dee near the harbour was diverted from the south at a cost of £80,000, and 90 acres (364,000 m²) of new ground, in addition to 25 acres (101,000 m²) formerly made up, were provided on the north side of the river for the Albert Basin (with a graving dock), quays and warehouses. A 1050 ft (320 m) long concrete breakwater was constructed on the south side of the stream as a protection against south-easterly gales. On Girdleness, the southern point of the bay, a lighthouse was built in 1833.
The North Pier, built partly by John Smeaton 1775-81, and partly by Thomas Telford 1810-15, extends nearly 3,000 ft (1000 m) into the North Sea and raised the bar.
Victoria Dock, named in honour of the queen's visit to the city in that year, is a wet dock of 29 acres (117,000 m²) and with 6000 ft (1800 m) of quay, was completed in 1848

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H8FKPC - . An identifiable period record of the recorded location in 2016, retaining the practical detail and local context that distinguish a documentary photograph from a generic illustration. The main point of reference is Housing at Walton Lock, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. Other connected aspects include place identity, historic townscape, changing streetscape, adaptive reuse, period building, community identity, period architecture, local character, urban fabric, before-and-after reference, built heritage, contemporary social history, historical comparison, and heritage landmark. Current relevance extends to redevelopment pressure and adaptive reuse, particularly through the balance between conservation, retrofit and modern accessibility. Small period details of period objects and surrounding context at the recorded location may become more significant with time, particularly following altered transport patterns. Further associations within the scene are architectural character, archival record, changing land use, architectural detail, regional identity, local history, conservation architecture, and visual archive. The combination of Walton and Housing anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. Around the recorded location, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear. Another useful connection is redevelopment pressure and the value of architectural landmarks to local identity and tourism in a form that can be compared with future views of the recorded location. The scene further reflects energy retrofit and keeping older buildings useful without erasing their distinctive character within the real-world context of the recorded location.

This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. The scene is closely associated with North West England, Cheshire, river, canal, waterside, duck with her baby ducklings, duck with duckling, Spring scene, ducks ducklings and springtime, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The image has relevance to landscape, countryside, waterways, parks, gardens, environmental quality and the relationship between natural features and nearby settlement. It can illustrate editorial coverage of tourism, walking, recreation, conservation, seasonal change, biodiversity, green space, waterways and local identity. Vegetation, water, paths, buildings, weather and landform provide geographic and environmental context, helping the image work as both a place record and a broader landscape photograph. The documentary approach is useful for archive comparison, showing how a location looked at a particular time and how vegetation, land use or development may change later. Search themes include landscape, countryside, waterways, parks, gardens, environment, green space, tourism, recreation, seasonal conditions and local geography. The location view can also provide a useful baseline for later comparison as vegetation, land use, water levels or surrounding development change. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph. It can be used in newspapers, magazines, books, websites, documentaries, heritage projects and retrospective features where geographical accuracy and period detail matter.

I've been waiting to hear your voice for too long now
One way conversations do not work somehow
Tell me how does one get your soul in touch with the one above
When one way conversations pay a price for the use of love
I tried so hard last night you would not talk to me
I live with the fear of the few with the gift
And I know what's going to be...
Sunrise was a track from Lowlife, the third New Order album. Released in May 1985 by Factory Records, Low-Life is considered to be among New Order's strongest work, displaying the moment in which the band completed its transformation from post-punk hold-overs to dance rock pioneers. The album shows New Order's increased incorporation of synthesizers and samplers, while still preserving the rock aspects of their earlier work.
The album's artwork is the only New Order release to feature photographs of the band members on its cover. By default, drummer/keyboardist Stephen Morris is on the front cover, but it actually features four photographs inside the case and a semi-transparent piece of paper with the band's name on. Owners can choose which band member is seen through the sleeve.
The original Factory release (Japan and UK) CD versions of this album are mastered with pre-emphasis.
The album was preceded by the release of the full-length version of 'The Perfect Kiss' as a single (only an edited version appears on the album). John Robie's remix of 'Sub-culture' was also released as a 12' single. Both of these extended versions eventually were included on 1987's Substance.
Fiddlers Ferry Power Station is a coal fired power station located in Cuerdley, Cheshire in North West England, which is capable of co-firing biomass. It is situated on the north bank of the River Mersey between the towns of Widnes and Warrington. Opened in 1971, the station has a generating capacity of 1,989 megawatts (MW). Since the privatisation of the Central Electricity Generating Board in 1990, the station has been operated by various companies. Since 2004, Scottish and Southern Energy plc have operated the station.
With its eight 114-metre (374 ft) high cooling towers and 200-metre (660 ft) high chimney the station is a prominent landmark and can be seen from as far away as the Peak District and the Pennines. rather than a sunrise, this is a sunset as locals will notice.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H2TEN0 - This documentary stock photograph shows River Thames Panorama, London, England. The image is centred on St Paul's Cathedral, giving it strong editorial value for stories about London, architecture, tourism, heritage, public realm, night photography and the way the capital presents itself beside the River Thames. The caption and visible treatment indicate wide composition, so the photograph can be used as a real city scene rather than a generic skyline. The wider context includes Sir Christopher Wren's cathedral, City of London identity, baroque architecture, wartime memory and the ceremonial heart of the capital. These are subjects with broad stock-photo demand because they connect recognisable landmarks with themes of history, culture, faith, finance, theatre, regeneration, transport, walking routes and visitor spending. The image can support articles about City of London working life, South Bank tourism, Bankside leisure, London at dusk, cathedral heritage, riverside views, public spaces, cultural venues, urban planning, commercial property and the continuing pull of landmark architecture in news and travel publishing. For SEO and Alamy search, useful composite phrases include London dusk skyline, St Pauls Cathedral evening view, River Thames panorama, Bankside cultural quarter, Shakespeare Globe Theatre exterior, Millennium Bridge London, City of London landmark and Southwark riverside tourism. If the image is black and white, the monochrome style adds a more timeless, architectural feel
if it is in colour, the low-light sky and urban illumination add atmosphere and practical editorial appeal. Its value lies in combining a recognisable subject with a specific viewpoint and mood, suitable for guidebooks, blogs, newspapers, magazines, education, heritage, planning, religion, theatre, travel and city-break content. The picture can also be used to illustrate how London layers old and new together, with cathedral domes, river paths, theatre.

August, always a mad busy crazy time in Edinburgh, during the festival and fringe, which seems to have grown even bigger than the tattoo and festival. There's no shortage of scaryness and satire here!.
Echo and Narcissus @ Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2012. From Rag and Bone Productions the Venue was theSpace on North Bridge. It was on until 18th August 2012 @ venue 36.
As the review says, 'Sometimes it is hard to tell image from reality until the illusion is shattered at the tap of a finger. Durham University\u2019s Rag &
Bone Productions use an exciting combination of physical theatre, drama and dance to bring you this dark and innovative take on a classic Greek myth. The tragic story of Echo and Narcissus follows the disastrous consequences of a man falling in love with his own reflection. Rag &
Bone successfully fuse visual spectacle with the best of storytelling to explore this tale of hurt, rejection, pride and vanity. Not to be missed!'
Narcissus, is a young man blessed with untold beauty, who spurns all amorous advances, be they from citizens, nymphs, or just about anyone who can appreciate the beauty of the perfect human form. Meanwhile, talkative forest nymph Echo is tasked by Zeus to distract his wife Hera with incredible stories while he has an affair. Hera finds out and curses Echo to be able to repeat only the ends of sentences spoken to her (hence her name, Echo).
She runs into Narcissus in a forest, he rejects her fumbled echoes and she wastes away until she is nothing but a voice. Narcissus rejects one final advance of an older man by the name of Ameinus and mocks him for his futile attempts, daring him to kill himself. Ameinus does so, but curses Narcissus beforehand, resulting in Artemis bewitching Narcissus to fall in love with the next person he sees.
As he is hunting in the woods, he stops to rest by a quiet pool in a grassy clearing and falls in love with his own reflection. At a loss, he plunges in to reach the young man but drowns. A small Narcissus flower is washed up on the shore afterwards, taking its name from him.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival, with the 2012 event spanning 25 days totalling over 2,695 shows from 47 countries in 279 venues. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place annually in Scotland's capital, in the month of August. The Fringe is a showcase for the performing arts, particularly theatre and comedy (which has seen substantial growth in recent years), although dance and music are also represented. In 2012, 36% of shows were comedy and 28% theatrical productions. Theatrical productions range from the classics of ancient Greece to William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett and contemporary works. In 2012, 1,418 shows were having their world premiere.
The Fringe is an unjuried festival \u2013 with no selection committee, and therefore any type of performance may participate. The Fringe has often showcased experimental works that might not be invited to a more conservative arts festival. In addition to ticketed, programmed events, the Festival has included a street fair, located primarily on the Royal Mile. The Festival is organized by the Festival Fringe Society, which publishes the programme, sells tickets, and offers advice to performers. Their offices are on the Royal Mile.

Follow me on Twitter twitter.com/HotpixUK
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'Rome Wasn't Built in a Day' is a song by an English group Morcheeba released in 2000 as the first single off their third studio album Fragments of Freedom. The song is the group's biggest hit in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 34 in 2000. The song reached number two in New Zealand.
At some point in the mid-1990s, the Godfrey brothers (DJ Paul Godfrey and multi-instrumentalist Ross Godfrey) recruited Skye Edwards as vocalist, during a chance meeting at a party in which both brothers were introduced to Edwards. This led to the formation of Morcheeba.
The band's debut album, Who Can You Trust? was released on China Records in April 1996 and fitted smoothly into the then-modish trip hop genre, with instrumentation based predominantly around Rhodes piano, electric guitar and DJ scratching, with the songs carried by Edwards' relaxed soul-styled vocals.
The follow-up, 1998's Big Calm, moved slightly away from trip-hop towards a more pop-oriented, song-based sound. This was exemplified by the band's remaking of 'Moog Island' (a song from the previous album) in a more summery, upbeat style, with the new title of 'The Music That We Hear'. One of the album's singles, 'The Sea', became a hit and a radio favourite. The album proved to be a big seller and ensured Morcheeba's success as a breakthrough act.
In 1998, Morcheeba collaborated with Hubert Laws to record for the Red Hot Organization's compilation album Red Hot + Rhapsody, a tribute to George Gershwin, which raised money for various charities devoted to increasing AIDS awareness and fighting the disease.
In 2000, Morcheeba released their third album, Fragments of Freedom. This repeated the sales success of Big Calm but received a less positive critical response. The band's fourth album, Charango, was released in 2002, and spawned several singles including 'Otherwise,' 'Way Beyond,' and 'Undress Me Now'. In an indication of what would follow, several tracks on the album did not feature Edwards, and were instead written with and sung by Lambchop's Kurt Wagner or by emcees Pace Won and Slick Rick.
Rome wasn't built in a day is a way of saying 'It takes a long time to create something complicated or impressive'. No-one can argue with the impressiveness of Rome or how complicated it can be to cross the road in town. Its one of my favourite cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59XA2 - Runcorn's chemical industry was dominated for many years by ICI's Chlor Chemical division. But since 2001, Inovyn (a wholly owned subsidiary of Ineos) has operated the extensive chemical works in the west of the town, employing 750 people in 2020. In Runcorn, Invoyn manufactures chlorine, caustic soda and chlorinated derivatives. It also produces salt, made from brine transported by pipeline from the saltfields of central Cheshire, and sulphuric acid. Several other chemical manufacturers also have a presence at the site, including Koura (formerly Mexichem Fluor), Industrial Chemicals, Packed Chlorine Limited, VYNOVA and Runcorn MCP Ltd (a joint venture between INOVYN and VYNOVA). The site is considered to be of strategic national importance to the UK. The site includes two independently owned power stations
the 810 MW natural gas fired Rocksavage Power Station and the Runcorn Energy Recovery Facility operated by Viridor which also supplies heat to the Inovyn facility. ICI's other former site in Runcorn comprising offices and laboratories is now the Heath Business and Technical Park, which provides office, laboratory, conference, and leisure facilities

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WK8 - This photograph shows Dublin's iconic Ha'penny Bridge illuminated at night as it crosses the River Liffey in the heart of the Irish capital. Officially named the Liffey Bridge, the structure is universally known as the Ha'penny Bridge, a name derived from the halfpenny toll originally charged when the pedestrian bridge opened in 1816.
The image was taken during the evening, likely in the blue hour, when the deepening sky provides a dramatic backdrop to the warm artificial lighting along the bridge. Green and white illumination beneath the structure highlights its cast iron framework, while reflections shimmer across the calm surface of the River Liffey below, adding symmetry and atmosphere to the scene.
The Ha'penny Bridge connects the north and south sides of Dublin city centre and has long been a focal point for daily life, tourism, and cultural identity. Its elegant arches and decorative railings are among the most recognisable features of Dublin's streetscape, frequently photographed by visitors and locals alike.
Images such as this are widely used to represent Dublin as a vibrant European capital, illustrating themes of historic infrastructure, urban heritage, night-time city life, travel, and the enduring relationship between the city and the River Liffey

The Warburton Toll Bridge crosses the Manchester Ship Canal on the B5159 road, connecting Warrington with Trafford. There was an old stone bridge across the now dried up bed of the diverted River Mersey from 1863, there was an original toll for this.
The toll contributes towards the maintenance of the high level bridge style metal bridge and approach road. There is a limit of 3 tons on the bridge. The last time I crossed it was 12p. I believe a 25p ticket can be taken and used all day, a bit like the Thelwall ferry www.flickr.com/photos/hotpixuk/4337673883/ . There is also an annual pass from the MSCC.
If you cross, tolls are charged from 7am till 10pm Monday to Friday, from 8am Saturday and 9am on a Sunday. At 10pm until the following morning there is no charge to cross. Apparently its one of the few remaining pre-motorway toll bridges in the UK and the only one in Greater Manchester. So a little bit of history.

The mill was built by Sir Titus Salt in 1853. When completed, it was the largest industrial building in the world by total floor area. It is a grade II* listed building. The mill closed in 1986, with renovation beginning the following year.
Sir Titus Salt, 1st Baronet born in Morley, near Leeds, was a manufacturer, politician and philanthropist in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Around the mill he built the community of Saltaire for his workers. He built the Congregational Church (now Saltaire United Reformed Church) at his own expense in 1858\u201359, and donated the land on which the Wesleyan Chapel was built by public subscription in 1866\u201368. This is where he is buried.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3834522311 - 'Rare view of Cuillins from Broadford bay, Isle of Skye, Scottish Hebrides, UK.
Broadford (An t-\u00c0th Leathann in Scottish Gaelic), together with nearby Harrapool, is the second-largest settlement on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, lying on the SW corner of Broadford Bay, on the A87 between Portree and the Skye Bridge. Overlooked by the eastern Cuillins, Broadford is in a beautiful tranquil area.
West of Broadford, on the lower slopes of Beinn na Caillich, is Goir a' Bhlair, 'the field of battle'. The battle concerned was apparently a decisive action by the Gaelic Clan Mackinnon against the Vikings.
Broadford was a cattle market until 1812, when Telford built the road from Portree to Kyleakin. Its said that veterans of the Napoleonic Wars settled during the first half of the 19th century. Writing in the middle of the 19th century, Alexander Smith said, 'If Portree is the London of Skye, Broadford is its Manchester.
There is a song by the rock band Jethro Tull called 'Broadford Bazaar' (on the remastered version of the Heavy Horses album) which is named after this town.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CET1GE - Here shown at dusk, Warrington Town Hall is in the town of Warrington, Cheshire, England.
It consists of a house, originally called Bank Hall, flanked by two detached service wings at right angles to the house, one on each side. The house and the service wings are each designated by English Heritage as Grade I listed buildings.
At the time the house was built Warrington was in the historic county of Lancashire. The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner declared it to be the finest house of its date in south Lancashire
Bank Hall was built in 1750 for Thomas Patten. The architect was James Gibbs and it is likely that it was the last important building of his design to be completed in his lifetime. When it was built it stood in open countryside to the north of the town of Warrington.
The Patten family were important merchants in the town. Thomas' father had made the lower River Mersey navigable from Runcorn to Bank Quay, Warrington, and had established a copper smelting factory at Bank Quay. In 1870 John Wilson-Patten, 1st Baron Winmarleigh, sold the hall to Warrington Borough Council for £9000 (£640,000 as of 2013), and 13 acres (5.3 ha) of surrounding land for a further £15,000 (£1,060,000 as of 2013).
Almost all of the land was opened as Warrington's first public park in 1873. When the house was built, it was surrounded by a high wall. In 1895 this was replaced by iron railings and a fine set of gates.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DN6NHM - Spike Island is an island in the estuary of the River Mersey, in North West England, flanked by the Sankey Canal. It is a reclaimed toxic waste site, considered a birthplace of the British chemical industry, and forms a part of Widnes in the Halton borough of Cheshire.
Its maze of abandoned chemical factories, rail lines, canal and industrial dockage, and industrial pollution, which had declined into a rust belt toxic wilderness, was reclaimed as woodland, wetlands and green space between 1975 and 1982. A surviving warehouse is now the home of the Catalyst Museum, the only science museum in the UK solely devoted to chemistry.
Spike Island was the site of a famous outdoor concert by The Stone Roses in May 1990. A film about the concert was released in 2013, and is called Spike Island.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2X2CFYT - This image shows the entrance signage to Halifax Borough Market, located in the town centre of Halifax in West Yorkshire, England. The photograph focuses on the ornate gold-lettered sign reading Welcome to Halifax Borough Market, mounted above decorative ironwork at the entrance to the historic market hall. The signage reflects the civic pride and heritage associated with traditional British market buildings.
Halifax Borough Market has served the town for generations and remains an important centre for local trade, retail, and community life. Markets such as this have historically played a vital role in Yorkshire towns, providing space for independent traders, fresh produce, household goods, and social interaction. The continued presence of the market reflects the endurance of town-centre retail traditions despite wider changes in shopping habits.
The image captures themes of local commerce, heritage retail, civic architecture, and regional identity. It is suitable for editorial and commercial use relating to British markets, Yorkshire towns, urban heritage, local shopping, community spaces, and the cultural significance of traditional market halls in England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy MGMJW0 - . This location-specific image from the recorded location in 2018 provides a visual record of the subject in everyday context, useful for both contemporary editorial work and later historical comparison. The photograph centres on High Street retail shop clearance sale. The broader subject matter reaches into local history, high-street commerce, specialist retailer, visual archive, period detail, community identity, independent retail, everyday life, social history, commercial frontage, local character, before-and-after reference, documentary photography, and retail property. From a 2025-onward perspective, business rates and independent business are closely linked to this subject, alongside how shopfronts become short-lived records of changing businesses and branding. Small period details of commercial use and occupation at the recorded location may become more significant with time, particularly following different community use. The subject also sits alongside changing land use, local trading, regional identity, changing streetscape, local enterprise, street-level business, bricks-and-mortar retail, and customer footfall. Details involving retail and clearance make the image more specific than a generic view and strengthen its local or historical value. A later view of the recorded location may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity. The scene further reflects business rates and how shopfronts become short-lived records of changing businesses and branding within the real-world context of the recorded location. Its period value extends to footfall and the resilience of independent shops in an online retail economy within the specific setting of the recorded location. The location additionally provides evidence of consumer spending and the resilience of independent shops in an online retail economy as part of the longer story of the recorded location.
