Playing with panos on a river walk today #AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMachinery #Scape #AOfoto #UrbanGaze #IndustrialPhotography #LandscapePhotography #Panorama #Photography #Cheshire #10MinutesFromHome #EastCoastKin

Wide panoramic view across calm water toward a working boatyard, with a large timber shed, rusted industrial buildings, cranes, vehicles and a boat under construction on supports. Autumn trees line the background beneath a pale overcast sky, while the yard and cranes reflect softly in the water.

#NotSeanScully #AccidentalArtist #AOfoto #ArtYear #Photography #10MinutesFromHome #EastCoastKin 📷 Canon EOS R50 🔘 Canon RF 28mm

Graphic overhead composition divided into horizontal bands: dark green glossy leaves at the top, a broad field of pale gravel through the centre, then a narrow concrete edging and dark asphalt at the bottom. The simple layered textures and contrasting tones give the scene an abstract, geometric feel.

Wide panoramic streetscape in Blackpool under a vivid blue sky with scattered white clouds. A row of seafront buildings, cafés and amusement frontage stretches across the frame, with construction fencing, parked cars and pedestrians adding layers of everyday urban detail.

A large group of flamingos at Chester Zoo standing and wading in shallow water, several with their wings spread to reveal vivid coral-red and black flight feathers. Pale pink birds are scattered across the frame against green grass and vegetation, with reflections rippling across the water.

A Greater One-horned Rhinoceros stands side-on in its enclosure at Chester Zoo, facing a wooden wall. Its heavy grey skin forms deep armour-like folds across the shoulders, flanks and legs, with a single horn above the nose and patches of mud on its body. Wooden fencing and scattered hay frame the enclosure.

I became a member of Chester Zoo this year and have been there frequently, less so this specific spot... #BlueSkyArtShow #3rdPlace #AOfoto #ChesterZoo #Cheshire #ZooPhotography #Photography #EastCoastKin 📷 Canon EOS R6 Mark II 🔘 Canon EF 24–105mm f/4L

A pale green sign at Chester Zoo reading “This is our sloth toilet,” partly obscured by a small fern at the base of a tree. The sign explains that the sloths come down to the ground about once a week to poo, surrounded by soil, roots and tropical planting.

Huge pale tree roots spill down and across the weathered stone walls of Ta Prohm at Angkor in Cambodia, wrapping around carved doorways and masonry. Moss and greenery soften the grey-green ruins, while dark openings recede into the temple beneath the tangled roots.
