Through the eyes of a travelling photographer
Sunday was the race day of the World Touring Car Championship. Crowds increased significantly from the Saturday, so spent most of the time in two spots, rather than freely moving around as I did on Saturday.

One of England’s finest racing circuits, Brands Hatch, held host to the World Touring Car Championship during the weekend. Support racing included the GT Open series (Ferrari F430’s, Lamboghinis, Dodge Vipers and Aston Martin DBRS9’s)

The Shoreham Air Show, based in West Sussex, was a great celebration of 50 years of Battle of Britain Memorial Flights. A wide range of aircraft were on display, both on the ground and in flight. The weather was fine for most of the day, until the final air display, when the English rain came down

Attended the Sundays’ Shoreham airshow, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Amongst the highlights were the four Guinot biplane wingwalkers.
More photos to follow in the coming days, including Hurricanes, Spitfires, B17, B25 and Vampire.
Buckingham Palace, is the official London residency of the Queen and monarch. Despite the clouded Sunday evening, the streets were bustling with hundreds of tourists all willing to grab a quick photo.
Whilst on the London Underground network, heading towards Buckingham Palace on the Victoria line, this station surprisingly grabbed my eye 😉
Canterbury Cathedral, Kent, is one of the oldest Christian structures in England. With history going back 1400 years, the architecture of this amazing cathedral cannot be compared to anything else. Several hours could easily be consumed in looking through every nook and cranny, and visiting the library of 30,000 books. In the limited time I had, still managed to view the main galleries and prayer rooms.
Tower of Canterbury Cathedral is 72 metres high

The very high ceilings, with splendid architecture
Sheer scale of the internals is impressive
Two months have passed now since landing in the UK, and so far quite relieved to have seen many wonderful sights. The next few months will be interesting, with light rapidly fading away, as autumn and winter approach.
The recent fine weather continued, and took the opportunity to catch a train into London on this Friday night, to venture further than Tower Bridge. I’ve been eager to visit both London Eye and Big Ben for the past few weeks. The sites didn’t disappoint, especially with the fine detail observed on Big Ben. I’ll head back to London Eye another time to capture views across London, but this time my feet remained firmly on the ground.
I was invited along to do some photography for Hawley Clay Shooting Ground to update their photos, and create a new shooting challenge 😉
Set amongst Kentish countryside, alongside the M25 – Colourful fields were a fine backdrop.
