Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations... It’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from."

Chelsea Creek early this morning on a grey day. On the right are luxury apartments, on the left is the shell of Lots Road Power station, which once supplied electricity to the London Underground. In the 19thC this area would have heaved with coal, oil & timber being brought in by boats & barges.

Standing at 78 metres, the University of Sheffield Arts Tower remains the UK’s tallest academic building. At the time of its construction, it was also the tallest academic building in Europe.

Our photograph captures a striking old brick windmill in Selsey, West Sussex, during the late afternoon of a winter’s walk. 

Viewed from below, the windmill rises majestically against a deep, vivid blue sky, its towering structure creating a wonderful contrast between warm, earthy colours and the cool tones of the evening sky.

The windmill’s broad, tapering tower is built from weathered red and brown bricks, glowing with rich orange and copper tones where the low winter sunlight falls across its surface. 

Near the top, the brickwork gives way to a dark, aged metal cap, crowned by a small, angular wooden structure. 

Two arched windows sit one above the other in the brickwork, their pale frames catching the sunlight and adding character to the old building.

Above, the windmill’s enormous white sails stretch dramatically across the sky. One rises almost vertically beyond the top of the photograph, while another sweeps diagonally towards the right-hand edge, its delicate framework outlined brilliantly against the blue. 

Wisps of soft cloud drift behind the sails, adding texture to the otherwise clear sky.
At the foot of the windmill, a few modest buildings sit quietly in the shadows, hinting at the surrounding village. 

The low sun illuminates the brickwork beautifully, with that fleeting golden moment when a winter afternoon begins to surrender to dusk.

There is something timeless about this scene. 

An enduring piece of history standing proudly beneath an expansive sky, seemingly untouched by the passing years. 

Captured during a peaceful winter’s walk, the photograph celebrates the beauty of old architecture, the warmth of fading sunlight, and the quiet pleasure of discovering something extraordinary in an ordinary moment.

Finally, our picture is finished with a simple white border frame.

Shut pub alert! White Hart, Cheddar. The three cute house elves outside tell me they’re painting 🎨 . Shut for maintenance. They made sympathetic noises. Should’ve checked their Facebook. Never mind, back here Wed/Thu anyway. 💪🏻

Putin controls puppet Trump. Trump can't control Putin. Russia is a terrorist state. America needs a new president.

Horizontal orientation, black and white candid photograph capturing a busy underground platform at Grand Central Terminal, New York City. The scene features two parked Metro-North commuter trains with visible MTA branding and car numbers 33 and 32. Commuters are walking on the platform; dynamic motion blur captures people moving quickly in the foreground, including a figure carrying a large bag. Overhead, distinct linear fluorescent lighting illuminates the concrete structure, exposed piping, and suspended lit signage with legible text, including a Reuters advertisement. The depth of field extends down the platform, emphasizing the vanishing point created by the trains and architectural lines. High contrast rendering defines textures of metal, concrete, and clothing. Optimized for urban photography, photojournalism, architectural history, MTA infrastructure, and NYC tourism indexing.
