Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EW7BX3 - . Speedy Moisture Dundee Jute Tester made by Thomas Ashworth & Co Ltd of Burnley, displayed as a historic measuring instrument. Photographed on 9 June 2026. The recorded location is Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom. The apparatus includes a balance mechanism, pan and associated equipment used to determine the moisture content of grain, soils, sand or other samples. Speedy Moisture Testers were manufactured in Lancashire and became portable field-testing devices used in agriculture, construction and materials testing. The brass and metal components mounted within a box give the object a distinctive early twentieth-century technical appearance. Seen through historic machinery, the earlier context is that factories, mills, mines and workshops record the technologies and labour that powered industrial expansion
Machinery, inscriptions and specialist buildings are valuable evidence of engineering practice, working conditions and regional industries. For public history, the Historical.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>historical context is that public libraries expanded during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as part of civic education, later adding computers, events and digital services while retaining their role as shared community space. Looking at engineering, the longer history is that scientific and electronic equipment becomes historical quickly because components and interfaces are replaced by newer generations
Circuit boards, laboratory machines and instruments make visible the hardware beneath contemporary automated systems. The 2026 relevance of historic machinery comes from the fact that former industrial sites continue to be repurposed for housing, offices and cultural attractions
Historic machinery and surviving fabric therefore illustrate both deindustrialisation and current debates about adaptive reuse, local identity and heritage-led regeneration. Additional subject language includes library service, cultural institution, and historical records.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F079K7 - Northern European and Russian holidaymakers relax on rows of sun loungers beneath beige parasols along the busy seafront at Los Cristianos in southern Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. Adults sunbathe on dark grey sand while resort apartments and hotel terraces rise behind the beach. The view records a crowded winter-sun scene under partly cloudy skies, with low volcanic hills beyond the urban coastline.
Los Cristianos developed from a fishing settlement into one of Tenerife's earliest southern resorts as international tourism expanded during the 1960s. Its warm climate, restaurants, apartment complexes, ferry port and nearby beaches attract visitors year-round, particularly travellers escaping colder northern European winters. The official Los Cristianos beach is urban, with calm water and lounger hire. The darker sand, gravel and rocky shoreline beside it around Los Tarajales reflects Tenerife's volcanic character.
The crowded shore illustrates both the economic importance and pressures created by mass package tourism. Visitor spending supports hotels, restaurants, retail, transport and employment, but southern resorts also place pressure on housing, roads, public services, water supplies, waste systems and coastal land. Short-term holiday rentals have become concerns for residents.
Large demonstrations took place across the Canary Islands in 2024 and 2025 under slogans including Canaries have a limit . Protesters called for a different tourism model, arguing that rising housing costs, congestion and environmental strain were reducing quality of life. Organisers stressed that criticism was directed at unmanaged growth rather than individual visitors.
The photograph is a familiar winter-sun image and an illustration of overtourism. Packed loungers, parasols and a built-up waterfront show how an attractive climate can produce crowding, commercialised public space and competing demands between tourism income, resident needs and island sustainability.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RPCFH7 - A fire bucket is a bucket filled with water or sand which is used to prevent or extinguish fires.
Typically, fire buckets are painted bright red and have the word fire stencilled on them. Often they have a convex, protruding bottom. The rounded bottom results in a strong, directed stream of water when the water is thrown at the fire. The rounded-bottom bucket is far more efficient in launching the water at the fire than a flat bottom bucket.
Fire buckets are a low-technology method of fighting small fires. Although largely superseded by more modern forms of firefighting equipment, they retain some distinct advantages and remain the preferred method for fighting small fires in certain situations. The main advantages of fire buckets are that they are cheap, reliable, easy to use and can be quickly refilled and reinstated.
Normally, they are hung on dedicated fire bucket stands and placed in prominent positions in rooms or corridors, next to ovens or barbecues, and in government accommodation such as army barrack blocks. They are also commonly found in hyperbaric chambers.
Oil fires are resistant to water, but small fires can be effectively extinguished when the sand in the bucket is dumped on the fire to starve it of the oxygen it needs to stay alight. This method of fighting liquid fires has generally been replaced by modern foaming agents.
The sand from a fire bucket can also be used to absorb spills of flammable liquids and render them less dangerous, by reducing the risk of ignition and explosion. Fire buckets are often provided at petrol filling stations to absorb any small fuel spills

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3JR44 - This image shows one of the life-size cast iron figures from Another Place, the large-scale public art installation by British sculptor Antony Gormley, positioned on Crosby Beach along the Merseyside coastline near Formby. The solitary nude figure stands partially embedded in the sand, facing inland, its surface heavily weathered and rusted by prolonged exposure to sea air, tides, and changing weather conditions.
Another Place consists of one hundred individual iron figures spread across several kilometres of shoreline, aligned to the horizon and fixed at varying tidal levels. Over time, the sculptures interact directly with the natural environment, becoming submerged at high tide and re-emerging as the water recedes, reinforcing themes of time, vulnerability, and the relationship between the human body and the landscape.
This photograph was taken at sunset, under soft, fading light, which enhances the earthy tones and textured corrosion of the sculpture while lending a quiet, contemplative mood to the scene. The empty beach and low horizon emphasise isolation and stillness, common visual characteristics of the installation and key reasons for its enduring popularity with visitors and photographers.
The image is well suited to editorial use illustrating contemporary British art, public sculpture, coastal landscapes, environmental art, cultural tourism, and themes of solitude, humanity, and place along the North West England coast.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KXCK4X - . An on-location photograph from United Kingdom in 2022, showing the named subject as part of a wider social, commercial, cultural or physical setting rather than as an isolated object. The photograph centres on Chubb fire extinguishers and red fire buckets, health and safety. The setting additionally reflects regional identity, everyday life, public transport network, before-and-after reference, transport interchange, community identity, local character, commuter travel, station environment, archival record, social history, rail mobility, place identity, and passenger railway. From a 2025-onward perspective, reliability and integrated transport are closely linked to this subject, alongside the reshaping of Britain's passenger railway in the mid-2020s. For later comparison, the photograph preserves equipment and working practice at United Kingdom, details that may look very different after closure or conversion. Further associations within the scene are regional rail, rail infrastructure, local history, urban rail transport, railway branding, contemporary social history, rail modernisation, and period detail. The recorded references to safety, buckets, extinguishers, Chubb, and health preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time. By fixing the subject within United Kingdom, the image preserves more than the headline object or building: it records part of the locality's everyday history. The image also provides a reference for reliability and the role of public transport in reducing congestion and emissions within the real-world context of United Kingdom. Another useful connection is accessibility and how rail stations anchor city-centre mobility and regeneration within the specific setting of United Kingdom. The scene further reflects accessibility and the role of public transport in reducing congestion and emissions as part of the longer story of United Kingdom.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M4MPX6 - There are various types of hobby activities involving metal detectors:
Prospecting is looking for valuable metals like gold, silver, and copper
Metal detectors are also used to search for discarded or lost,[31] valuable man-made objects such as jewelry, mobile phones, cameras and other devices. Some metal detectors are waterproof, to allow the user to search for submerged objects in areas of shallow water.
General metal detecting is very similar to coin shooting except the user is after any type of historical artifact. Detectorists may be dedicated to preserving historical artifacts, and often have considerable expertise. Coins, bullets, buttons, axe heads, and buckles are just a few of the items that are commonly found by relic hunters
in general the potential is far greater in Europe and Asia than in many other parts of the world. More valuable finds in Britain alone include the Staffordshire Hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold, sold for £3,285,000, the gold Celtic Newark Torc, the Ringlemere Cup, West Bagborough Hoard, Milton Keynes Hoard, Roman Crosby Garrett Helmet, Stirling Hoard, Collette Hoard and thousands of smaller finds.
Beach combing is hunting for lost coins or jewelry on a beach. Beach hunting can be as simple or as complicated as one wishes to make it. Many dedicated beach hunters also familiarize themselves with tide movements and beach erosion.
Metal detecting clubs exist for hobbyists to learn from others, show off finds from their hunts and to learn more about the hobby.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD23X4 - This panoramic image shows the beach and seafront at Filey on the North Yorkshire coast. The wide sandy shoreline curves gently away from the promenade, emphasising the scale and openness of Filey Bay. In the foreground and lower right of the image, a solitary man stands alone on the sand, providing a strong sense of scale against the expansive coastal landscape.
Above the beach, people gather along the stone promenade and near the seafront buildings, creating a contrast between social activity and solitude. The lone figure on the beach appears detached from the busier promenade above, introducing a quiet, reflective mood to the scene without overt action.
The photograph was taken in daylight under calm conditions, likely outside peak summer season, when Filey's beach often feels spacious and uncrowded. The combination of wide sand, gentle sea, and restrained human presence reflects the character of Filey as a traditional British seaside resort with a slower pace than larger coastal towns.
The image works well for editorial use illustrating British coastal life, seaside tourism, solitude, contemplation, and the relationship between people and open coastal environments.

The frame also records themes of local character, architectural character, historic townscape, everyday life, freight wagon, industrial railway, contemporary social history, place-making, period architecture, visual archive, regional identity, mixed-use redevelopment, mechanical signalling, and civic architecture. Current relevance extends to heritage conservation and network modernisation, particularly through the contrast between mechanical railway systems and digital signalling. In present-day coverage, the subject reaches into planning and construction costs, not least because of the tension between preserving local character and creating modern commercial space. For later comparison, the photograph preserves public access and movement at the recorded location, details that may look very different after new construction. The photograph additionally reflects railway heritage, period detail, heritage-led regeneration, adaptive reuse, local history, built heritage, historical comparison, and before-and-after reference. The combination of painted, Water, caution, purposes, and drinking anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. The wider setting at the recorded location matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. Its period value extends to heritage conservation and how Crewe's identity remains tied to railway engineering and operations without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. The frame retains evidence of changing use within the wider story of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JMD5MP - Time After Time presents a colourful and densely arranged shopfront at 30 High Street in Stroud, Gloucestershire. Vintage clothing hangs on rails beside wicker baskets, woven bags, furniture, decorative objects and assorted collectables, while a wooden rocking horse, old pram and black plush animal add character to the pavement display. The open doorway and large windows offer a glimpse into the packed interior, creating the impression of a traditional treasure trove rather than a conventional modern fashion shop.
The independent business specialises in hand-picked vintage and designer clothing, jewellery, accessories and homewares for men and women. Its stock spans many periods, from Victorian and Edwardian pieces through twentieth-century fashions including the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The owners developed the business from vintage fairs held in Stroud and Oxford, later establishing the bricks-and-mortar shop on Stroud's Upper High Street.
The image captures the appeal of browsing an independent retailer where individual garments and objects are displayed outside to attract passing shoppers. A blue polka-dot dress, orange garments, wickerwork and reused household items create a lively mixture of colours, textures and shapes. Bright natural daylight illuminates the facade and pavement, while the absence of customers gives an unobstructed view of the merchandise and shop entrance.
Vintage and second-hand retail has wider relevance to sustainable fashion, reuse, recycling and the circular economy. Buying pre-owned clothing can extend the life of garments and provide an alternative to fast fashion, while antique furniture and household goods preserve objects that might otherwise be discarded. The photograph is suitable for editorial themes including independent shops, British high streets, vintage style, ethical shopping, small businesses, local tourism, fashion history, consumer choice and the distinctive retail character of Stroud.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D91X70 - . Panorama of beach at Puerto Colon, Near La Pinta beach, between Playa Las americas and Costa Adeje, South Tenerife. Photographed on 3 June 2013. The recorded location is Beach at Puerto Colon, Near La Pinta beach, Costa Adeje, South Tenerife Spain. In historical terms, tourism images record not just destinations but changing habits of leisure: seaside holidays, city breaks, heritage visits, package travel and resort culture have all developed with transport, disposable income and mass tourism. The historical context is that panoramic and atmospheric views place individual landmarks within their wider setting
Light, season and weather affect how architecture and landscape are perceived, while distant development can provide clues to the changing form of a town or coastline. During 2026, tourism remains a major part of the UK and European service economy, but destinations continue to balance visitor numbers with resident needs, transport capacity, climate pressures and the maintenance of historic places. The subject remains topical in 2026 because current interest in climate and place-making gives atmospheric landscape photographs added documentary value, particularly where weather, coastlines or urban development are prominent. In the longer view, popular destinations are shaped by repeated waves of visitors, transport investment and changing ideas of leisure
Beaches, resorts, historic streets and attractions can therefore be read as both travel imagery and social history. As background, travel photography documents the visitor economy as well as scenery, showing how historic places, coastlines and resort facilities are packaged, experienced and adapted for tourists over time. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that tourism remains a major part of the UK and European service economy, but destinations continue to balance visitor numbers with resident needs, transport capacity, climate pressures and the maintenance of historic places.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4997236096 - 'Enter Sandman - 'Metallica' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'Enter Sandman' is a song by the American heavy metal band Metallica. It is the first track on their fifth album Metallica and was released as the album's first single. The song was produced by Bob Rock, and the music was written by Kirk Hammett, Lars Ulrich, and James Hetfield. Vocalist and rhythm guitarist Hetfield wrote the lyrics, which deal with the concept of a child's nightmares.
'Enter Sandman' was the first song Metallica had written for their 1991 self-titled album, Metallica. Metallica's songwriting method involved lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Jason Newsted submitting tapes of song ideas and concepts to rhythm guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, who then used the material in conjunction with their own ideas to write songs in Ulrich's house in Berkeley, California.
'Enter Sandman' apparently evolved from a guitar riff that Hammett wrote. Originally, the riff was 2 bars in length, but Ulrich suggested the first bar be played 4 times. The song was quickly finished, but Hetfield did not come up with vocal melodies and lyrics for a long time.
The song, in fact, was among the album's last to have lyrics, and the lyrics featured in the song are not the original
Hetfield felt that 'Enter Sandman' sounded 'catchy and kind of commercial' and so to contradict the sound, he wrote lyrics about 'destroy[ing] the perfect family
a huge horrible secret in a family' that included references to cot death.
For the first time in Metallica's history, however, Ulrich and producer Bob Rock told Hetfield that they felt he could write better lyrics. Nevertheless, according to Ulrich, the song was the 'foundation, the guide to the whole record' even before it had lyrics.
It appears always to be played live and has been covered several times, including by Richard Cheese.

Maybe this shot could have been entitled 'Enter Sandbanks'. It is a 41 shot joiner/panorama taken in the restaurant bar of the Haven hotel at Sandbanks, Dorset.
Sandbanks is a small peninsula or spit (1km or 0.39 sq mi) crossing the mouth of Poole Harbour on the English Channel coast at Poole in Dorset, England. It is well-known for the highly regarded Sandbanks Beach and property value
Sandbanks has, by area, the fourth highest land value in the world. The Sandbanks and Canford Cliffs Coastline area has been dubbed as 'Britain's Palm Beach' by the national media.
There are exclusive homes both on Sandbanks and across the immediate region, stretching east from the Harbour to The Avenue (the eastern boundary of Poole). The adjacent areas of Lilliput, Branksome Park and Canford Cliffs, also have the largest concentration of expensive properties outside London. Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is among many famous residents of the Sandbanks area. In 2005 a modest bungalow on the peninsula sold for three million pounds, despite its state of disrepair.
The Haven Hotel is an AA four star hotel at the end of Sandbanks overlooking the Studland chain ferry over towards Corfe Castle. The first hotel built on this location was the North Haven Inn in 1838. The Inn was demolished and replaced with the present Haven Hotel in 1887.
Guglielmo Marconi established a wireless transmitter at the Haven in 1899, and carried out some of his first wireless telegraphy experiments from the hotel. Photographs and information on these experiments are still on display in the Marconi Lounge, (where I enjoyed a pint of Ringwood Fortyniner bitter). Theres a lovely view out to sea, bit for goodness sake don't forget your credit card (ouch!).

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4714928394 - 'The Celtic cross is a symbol that combines a cross with a ring surrounding the intersection.
In the Celtic Christian world it was combined with the Christian cross and this design was often used for high crosses. These are free-standing crosses made of stone and often richly decorated.
With the Celtic Revival, the shape, usually decorated with interlace and other motifs from Insular art, became popular for funerary monuments and other uses, and has remained so, spreading well beyond the British Isles.
It is popular in Cornwall where an individual feeling of ancient culture lives on, as can be seen in the Barnoon cemetary here, which overlooks the St Ives surfing beach of Porthmeor.
In Celtic regions of Ireland and later in Great Britain, many free-standing upright crosses or high crosses were erected by Irish monks, beginning at least as early as the 7th century. Some of these 'Celtic' crosses bear inscriptions in runes. There are surviving free-standing crosses in Cornwall (famously St Piran's cross at Perranporth) and Wales, on the island of Iona and in the Hebrides, as well as the many in Ireland. Other stone crosses are found in the former Northumbria and Scotland, and further south in England.
Due to its simplicity as a symboil, in Germany, the Celtic cross was adopted by a prohibited neo-Nazi party (VSBD/PdA) leading to the ban of the symbol.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF0N03 - . St Wilfrids Church Interior and altar, Grappenhall Village South Warrington Cheshire WA4, England United Kingdom. Photographed on 6 June 2009. The recorded location is Church Lane, Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. The wider historical story is that ecclesiastical structures are both active places of worship and repositories of community history
Architectural details, memorials and churchyard monuments provide evidence for religious practice, craftsmanship, community identity, genealogy and the changing use of sacred space. From a heritage perspective, interiors preserve details that exterior photographs cannot show: furniture, fittings, decorative finishes and room layouts reveal how structures were actually used
Such features are often altered during refurbishment even when the outside remains unchanged. Looking at the subject's development, heritage photography is particularly useful where buildings or objects have changed function
A former workplace, shop, transport structure or piece of equipment can become a museum object or landmark, linking everyday history with conservation and interpretation. In the present 2026 context, historic places of worship remain important not only for faith but also for conservation, tourism, music, community use and community identity
Their maintenance illustrates the continuing challenge of caring for ageing heritage structures while keeping them accessible and relevant. As of 2026, restoration projects increasingly emphasise retaining significant interiors as well as façades, making earlier photographs useful evidence when rooms are refurbished, repurposed or opened to visitors. For the 2026 context, many historic churches face the practical challenge of maintaining listed fabric while remaining active community buildings, visitor attractions and venues for worship, music and local events
Images of their interiors and memorials therefore serve architectural, heritage and social-history uses.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
This is a track from 'Total Life Forever', the second studio album, released May 2010 by British band 'Foals'. They are a 5-piece band from Oxford, England. They are currently signed to Transgressive Records in the UK (and Sub Pop in the USA). Its been featured in the UK TV series Skins.
Wanting to push the envelope, On March 6 2010, the 'Total Life Forever' site was officially launched. Puzzles revealed images, lyrics and sound clips of songs from the album. The last clip appeared on Friday, March 12, and resulted with a password entry for the Foals' new website. The site presented the whole new art concept and media including samples of songs, photos and videos. The album was nominated for the 2010 Mercury Music Prize.
Foals are Yannis Philippakis, Jack Bevan, Jimmy Smith, Edwin Congreave and Walter Gervers. There is a debut album too, 'Antidotes'. From that album the track 'Cassius' has probably been the bands greatest single chart success and is one of those 'roadie and sound-guy favourites'.
------------------------
Camel comes from the Arabic \u062c\u0645\u0644, \u01e7ml, (derived from the triconsonantal root signifying 'beauty'), is also used more broadly to describe any of the six camel-like creatures in the family Camelidae: the two true camels, and the four South American camelids: the llama, alpaca, guanaco, and vicu\u00f1a.
Remarkable for their ability to survive the desert extremes they can live for 40 - 55 years. Fossil evidence indicates that the ancestors of modern camels evolved in North America during the Palaeogene period (see also Camelops), and later spread to most parts of Asia. Humans first domesticated camels well before 2000 BC.
Camels do not store water in their humps as is commonly believed. The humps are actually a reservoir of fatty tissue. Concentrating body fat in their humps minimizes heat-trapping insulation throughout the rest of their body, which may be an adaptation to living in hot climates. When this tissue is metabolized, it acts as a source of energy, and yields more than 1 g of water for each 1 g of fat converted through reaction with oxygen from air. This process of fat metabolization generates a net loss of water through respiration for the oxygen required to convert the fat.
Their ability to withstand long periods without water is due to a series of physiological adaptations. Their red blood cells have an oval shape, unlike those of other mammals, which are circular. This facilitates their flow in a dehydrated state.
