The main station on the model railway of a relative. I just like the depth of field in this one; I was using completely the wrong lens.

The entrance to the WWII pillbox at Castle Stede, near Loyne bridge, Hornby, Lancashire. It was built in the 1940s as a defence against a possible German invasion. There's a Norman castle - well, its earthworks anyway - just behind where I was standing; I'll photograph that another time.

Not too fond of the sky; a sort of uniform pale grey that no amount of footling about in the Gimp could cure. It was too bleeding cold and windy to do much else besides take some handheld shots with the wide-angle lens; I didn't really want to stay much longer as I'd lost the feeling in my fingers.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
