Thanks Epcot_Boy

Following the summerbirds --> the bumble bee:


My cat - I just love her expression in this one:


And the last one - A black/white photo of Picadilly Circus in London:

These are my faaaaaavourites because...
I have a slight obsession with bumblee bees!!
hehe
So much so that I've photographed them myself.
I think bumblee bees have to be the happiest of bugs
Just cause they bumble along!
 :mrgreen:  :mrgreen: I just LOVE them!

And your cat is just soooo cute!
I love animals

And I think the shot of London is a rather spectacular angle! and the B+W just makes it look superb!

Wow that photograph is brilliant!
The whole building looks cool too, old style.
I love how haunting and enigmatic it looks!
The shot looks like high quality Pinhole!

No its the customs house in King's Lynn (Norfolk)

(taken from Wikipedia)
The King's Lynn Custom House is one of the town's most iconic landmarks. It was designed by architect Henry Bell and built by Sir John Turner in 1685. It was not the first Custom House built for the town - originally one was constructed in 1620 on the site where the Hogge Mansion is currently located (currently occupied by Barclay's Bank), however this was too small and as a result a larger one was needed; St George's Guildhall was used in the intervening years.

Initially, Customs only occupied the top floor and the ground floor was used by merchants for trading - however merchants were uhappy they were too far from the Tuesday Market Place and by 1717 Customs occupied the entire building.

300 years later and whilst the building is no longer used by Customs it is still a gateway to the town as it houses the town's Tourist Information Office.

The building was described by architect Nikolaus Pevsner as "one of the most perfect buildings ever built".[4] He was an admirer of King's Lynn in general, also commenting that the walk from the Tuesday Market Place to the River (by the Customs House) was of the finest in the world.[5]


Heres a less scary one ....

[MinniesBestPal]

I think it looks haunted!

[burntsienna]

Wow I'd love to see that building in person!
Great photographs Clarebelle!

I have photographs of the set of Atonement somewhere =]
So once I've found some I'll post a few.
Sadly there were no actors about when they had the set open.
