Botallack Mine, Cornwall
Photograph by Sebastian Wasek, My Shot
Botallack Mine is situated in the St Just Mining District, one of the most ancient hard-rock tin and copper mining areas in Cornwall. The lower of the two engine houses was built in 1835 to pump water from the mine. The higher engine house was built in 1862 to provide winding power for the Boscawen Diagonal Shaft, which ran out under the sea.

Tottenham Court Road Tube Station, London
Photograph by Elena Baroni, My Shot
How to describe London‚ one of the great walking cities of the world? I had fun riding the tubes all day as well. Wow! Talk about crowded. Pricey place to stay but worth every pound. Endless things to see and do in London. Here is one of the pictures I took during my time off from work. I took this photo at Tottenham Court Road Tube Station. I get a bit of vertigo when I look at this image. It happens every time I start down the stairs in most tube stations. They seem somehow steeper to me than usual.

Telephone Booths, London
Photograph by Greg Vivash, My Shot
The red public telephone box, first designed in 1924 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. In Britain many of these have been replaced by modern stainless steel and glass designs. However, the iconic red box still exists in London, some small villages, and a number of British colonies. The image shows three from a row of five boxes in Covent Garden, London.

Oxford
Photograph by Lauralee Settles, My Shot
This is a photo taken in Oxford, England. I was inspired to take this photo because of one of my favorite quotes: "When one door closes another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." This is exemplified by the contrast of dark and light—we cannot change the past but we can move forward and we can learn from our past mistakes to create a better future.

Victorian Water Tower in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire
Photograph by Nicholas Gray, My Shot
Victorian Water Tower in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, is a Grade 2 listed building that has been unused for some time. It's taken me a few months to get this shot right thanks to the weather. The tower is lit by the moon while street lights and traffic create a backlight effect. Exposure was four minutes to get a slight streak in the stars.

Red Deer, London
Photograph by Stephen Darlington, My Shot
Red deer photographed one misty morning in Bushy Park (on the southwest edge of London, England). It was October and I was hoping to capture the red deer stags clashing (as it was the rutting season). This stag was more interested in grazing, so as the sun rose, the mist started to burn away, giving the lovely golden light, and I captured the deer as it glanced in the direction of another stag bellowing in the distance.

Farm workers clean the soil from pumpkins and place them in rows in a field in Wiltshire, England. Doing this allows the pumpkins to be picked up from the field quickly when needed for Halloween.

Tower Bridge, London
Photograph by Jackson Voelkel, My Shot
In late 2008 and early 2009 I spent my time traveling through the European countryside living on organic farms and working for my stay. Very rarely would I get to go into the city while in Great Britain, so on one freezing night in London I tried to do as much as possible. My biggest desire: to photograph Tower Bridge. Once I arrived I was shocked at the colors and the activity that took place on top!

Newmarket
Photograph by Teresa Morey, My Shot
Taken in December 2009. A quaint town in England that is known for its horses and horse racing. Every morning they would exercise the horses, rain or shine. I felt this image captured exactly what you would expect from England and reminds me of when I lived there.

Barn, Kent
Photograph by Greg Wade, My Shot
I used to climb telecommunication towers to conduct line of sight surveys. As you can imagine you get a different perspective from the top of towers. A freshly cut field of crop made some great patterns around this disused barn in Kent, England.

Lindisfarne Castle, Holy Island

Tunnel, East London
Photograph by Alex Tomoff, My Shot
East London. Linking Greenwich with the Isle of Dogs. The tunnel is 370.2 meters long and 15.2 meters deep. The project was started in 1899 and was completed in 1902. The spiral staircases will take a smoker at least five minutes to climb and maybe three minutes for a healthy non-smoker. The tunnel is also a comfy link between Canary Wharf and Greenwich.

Snowy London
Photograph by Ion Paciu, My Shot
Taken on February 2, 2009. Light fluffy cotton-wool stuff you see in pretty calendars for December in other European countries. It was about -2 degrees Celsius, enough to bring much of the country and its capital to a standstill. Airports were closed, buses weren't running, and the tube was struggling. Lucky me, living on the South Bank and normally walking to work, I grabbed my camera and rushed toward the river. I managed to get there before others and captured the unspoiled white carpet.
