The local landmark, H. Stubbibgs Newsagent & Tobacconists is under threat from demolition to make way for a new development. Its last proprietor was Tom Stubbings, a colourful character still remembered by many locals for clattering round the district of Burgess Hill in his rusting, grumbling old van delivering hundreds of copies of the Mid Sussex Times and other newspapers up until his death.
Could Worlds End be the "Royston Vasey" of the South East?
World's End is a northern district of Burgess Hill, West Sussex, England. It is thought that the name arrived with the railway – it was here that the 'up' line met the 'down' line during construction of the Brighton main line (1837–1841), though it may also reflect the workers' sense of remoteness while billeted in a local farm (in what is now the Noel Rise area).

My first job working in an electrical shop in Southgate North London. The shop was called Lewis Radio and it was a great introduction into adult working life. The lovely shop in Fore Street reminds me of those happy day and the money allowing me to spend on photography.
I can't remember the last time I attempted a reflection shot from underneath a scaffolding. I was surprised by the pastel tones created by the relative lack of light, but was thrilled by the passing silhouette.
This photo became possible when the rain ended and the sun made a brief appearance this afternoon. I was very thankful!

This image captures a vibrant, narrow street in Japan, likely in an urban neighborhood, brimming with local charm and activity. On both sides of the street, small businesses line the way, including restaurants, shops, and cafes. Outdoor seating with green umbrellas and displayed menus adds to the inviting atmosphere, while boards showcasing food options hint at a rich culinary experience. A colorful pole on the right side, adorned with artistic patterns, adds a splash of creativity to the scene.
Overhead, a maze of power lines crisscrosses the sky, a quintessential feature of Japanese urban landscapes. The street is lively but not overly crowded, with pedestrians strolling down the center, enjoying the area’s relaxed vibe. Bicycles are neatly parked, and a cluster of bright red rental bikes sits on the right, adding pops of color. The Japanese text on signs and banners blends seamlessly with the architecture, providing a distinctly local character.
The soft evening light enhances the mood, casting a warm glow that makes the street feel both cozy and dynamic. The brick and stucco buildings are modest in height, allowing for a clear view of the sky, which is streaked with hints of blue and pastel clouds. Subtle details, like the variety of shopfronts and handwritten signage, create a sense of discovery for visitors exploring this bustling yet serene urban pocket.

Wide shot of 1:76 scale/OO Gauge kit build One Stop Shop from Kingswaymodels.co.uk by John Howe
The latest addition to the small town of Belshotmuir, which is currently undergoing a full review and rebuild, the shop has immediately proved popular. Nosey Norah, having become Store Manager is seen here supervising the delivery of stock, while two officers of Tayside Police head inside to stock up on energy drinks for the rest of their shift. A local taxi driver, whose cab wears all over advertising for Scotland’s other national drink, Irn Bru, is already inside having had a similar idea.
Two Tayside Police officers, having arrived in a Ford Transit cell van, head in to the new One Stop Shop to pick up a couple of cans of energy drink to keep them going through the shift. A local taxi driver, whose cab bears all over advertising for Scotland’s other national drink - Irn Bru, is already inside having had a similar idea. Meanwhile, Belshotmuir’s own Nosey Norah waits outside for a stock delivery, having gossiped her way into the role of Store Manager.
This One Stop Shop is a fantastic kit build by John Howe of Kingsway (kingswaymodels.co.uk)

Ocean and river cruises couldn't be more romantic with regards to views from the ship. But it gets a whole different ball game when a cruise ship arrives in a port of call. Then it over with fun, relaxation, the freedom of travel and being able to do what ever you want. Upon arrival there seems to be a secret scheme between the town and the cruise line in place. And that secret is to actually never leave the pax (as passengers are called in the industry) out of side of the ship. They are contained! Or even suppressed into arrangements in which the cruise liners are still in complete control over “their” pax. On top of that, pax most of the times have to deal with strict schedules when leaving the ship. So much that it may remind you of prison life.
By now you may have guessed al little that I personally are not widely enthusiastic about taking a cruise. But that doesn’t mean I’m not interested in the cruising live from a more photographic point of view. So, when I visited Basseterre, I deliberately locked myself into the pax-depot called Port Zante – from the outside world.
According to the port’s web site Port Zante is a sparkling world-class port fronting. It offers beautiful promenades. A divers range of elegant and local shops, bars and restaurants. The development (company) includes roughly forty individual lots which are defined by the pre-determined foot-prints of the buildings identified in preliminary form and use.
But in actual fact this is a small extension of the prison yard. Port Zante is well enclosed. The depot has a hard to find exit. And before you reach the exit, you have to battle yourself through a herds of tourist agents who offer excursions that have been approved by the liner and in 99 percent of the cases take place under strict guidance by bus or cuffed to a guide. Plus Port Zante has the same kind of coordinated shops then the one’s you can visit on the prison itself.
So, on this mission I tried to make some shots that reflect on the impression that at face value one might be free but is actually is kept on a leash… And this shot is all about supervision during the air time for the pax. As one can imagine quite easily, the ship’s captain oversees all activities of the pax.
Technical stuff
This is a single shot HDR. I opted for HDR because of the hard light conditions. The photo specs are 320 ISO, f11, 1/600, -2/3 and 42,7 mils.
The HDR post-production was done with Aurora HDR 2018. This includes several layers of pre-sets that I adjusted accordingly. The – further – general post-production was done using Lightroom. Finally, I added a copyright sign (in PS). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.
I love these kind of shops. I end up taking all sorts of local stuff home!!! Interesting to see an electric radiator for sale as not many houses here could probably afford to run it unless there are special discount rates for remote settlements.
