Warner Bros Studio Tour London.

I know it's childish escapism but I like it, the tour of the studio seeing the props right up close is fantastic, the attention to detail is unreal.

Abandoned

Abandoned gun emplacements, Derek Anson, photographer, essex, ex MOD,


Ex MOD property that was abandoned in the 1960s, some parts of the site date back to the 16th century. The site has now been bought by a couple of local people who are in the process of setting up a trust fund and reclaiming the site from nature with a view to restoring the buildings and opening up the site as a museum.

A farrier at work.




A recent photoshoot with a friend was delayed by the arrival of the farrier to shoe her horse, so we took the opportunity to grab a few images of the farrier at work.
