The thing with those viewing platforms in TV towers is that you have a great view but there is no mean to represent it. The simplest obstacle is the window with its reflections. The more complex is the 360 degree panorama that doesn't translate well to representation.

Perseid Meteor Shower & Milky Way over the "UTV Television Broadcasting Mast” in Strabane, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland
This TV mast stands just a few miles from my home. It is known and respected by the folk in Strabane & surrounding areas. If you live in our town & are returning home from a trip, it's always the first thing you see on your return! It may be an old iron reception tower to the onlooking stranger but to us it’s the symbol of our stunning little town of Strabane & its red glowing lights will always guide you home safely
The weather conditions here were almost perfect with no moon or high clouds up until near midnight, such a beautiful moment to see all the shooting stars with the naked eye every few moments. The Perseid Meteor Shower only happens once per year although once you have witness it, the memory will stay with you forever….

It is far too easy to fall into the trap of only broadcasting the good things about ourselves; our happy days, our successes, our best lives. Be it in conversation with others or more often than not through social media we want to prove to everyone else how good we are.
Photographers can be especially guilty of this. We don't want people to think we're not very good. With the trillions of photos there are there we're each trying to get people to pay attention to our images more than others. This does help to create a false impression of success rate though. It can look like everything works out perfectly each time. This is far from true though, with many having far more failures than successes.
As such I wish to start occasionally sharing some of my photography failures, starting with this real slap to the head moment. It was September 2013 and my early days of going on photo charters. Barrow Hill Roundhouse Railway Centre is a wonderfully atmospheric place and I was really looking forward to my first photography event there.
I finished work and made the dash up to Derbyshire, arriving just as the event was getting going. At the gate I handed over the money and parked up, eager to start. So I opened the boot to get my gear, unzipped my camera bag, looked at the empty space where my camera should have been, zipped up the bag and shut the boot.
I was really annoyed at myself and felt incredibly stupid. There was nothing I could do about it though so I had a quick stroll around the site to stretch my legs then headed home.
These things happen though and I laugh about it now. I imagine many of you have similar stories even if you may not want to admit to them. Not everything we do is a success but we should accept it though and show the world that the bad moments happen just as much as the good.
Illumination along South Bank in front of the ABC Broadcasting Building on an autumn evening in Brisbane QLD, Australia.
Yesterday, 14 April the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) launched its special 28 minute episode of the hit Aussie children's (and Mum and Dad's) series "Bluey". The episodes are usually about seven minutes long but this special one answers an important question set up previously regarding the sale of their "series" home (inspired by Brisbane in a lovely "Queenslander" style home).
The episode is entitled "Sign" with reference to the Real Estate "For Sale" sign outside their home. As usual, the episode deals with real life issues surrounding the impact on families and particularly kids in this sort of situation.
This is an advertising mural on the side of the New Farm Cinemas in Brisbane inviting viewers to watch this episode of the worldwide hit show. Those who collaborated to paint the mural are artist Michael Iglesias and Matt McEnallay and Harry Pepper.
I really can't tell you the outcome (watch on ABC iview) as frustratingly, the show does not display when I sign in!! Grrr!
Well, do they or don't they...someone gave away the secret but my lips are sealed. Just watch the show.

The long, shadowy tip of All Souls Langham Place points through the piazza to the BBCs New Broadcasting House in central London.
I've worked in this building for around 8 years now; it's certainly been surreal continuing to come in during the initial lockdown period and beyond, but I'm glad to still have that routine in my life.
I nipped out for a quick 5 minutes the other morning as it was a rare moment of sun, and also the exact part of the day where the sun was aligned to get the All Soul's shadow down the gap here between BH and Peel Wing ...
Shot at the abandoned radio station Propaganda Bullhorn. Buildt during world war 2 its main purpose was broadcasting the national socialists' propaganda. Most of the techincal equipment is still in place, including a huge diesel engine which was supposed to provide electricity in case of a blackout.

Wingrove & Rogers Ltd. was founded in 1919, as electrical engineers producing control gear for another local firm, British Electric Vehicles Ltd., of Southport, who manufactured electric industrial trucks and mining locomotives. In the early 1920s with the advent of broadcasting, the firm made coils for radio equipment. In 1924 they moved to premises in Old Swan, Liverpool, and made a wide range of electro-mechanical devices. In 1926 British Electric Vehicles Ltd. was acquired, transferred to Liverpool and became known as the BEV division. The firm continued producing fork lift trucks and electric vehicles until the 1980s when it ceased trading.

BBC Broadcasting House is located in the centre of Belfast on the north side of Ormeau Avenue at the junction with Bedford Street. It was built in 1939 to the designs of James Millar in Art-Deco style.
I found one of the antenna responsible for broadcasting northern lights all over Iceland... Now I know how they do... :-)

A photo from one of my favourite experiences of 2025.
Back at the start of December the band Public Service Broadcasting played two concerts at the Barbican accompanied by the London Contemporary Orchestra. Always a great live band but the orchestra filled out the sound and added a layer of subtlety which gave it immense poignancy.
If you're intrigued you can get acquainted with the band here : www.youtube.com/channel/UCUAQP4-X6BlNAAtbVHGiE1A

From www.publicservicebroadcasting.net/ , "It’s striking to reflect that Public Service Broadcasting, and their stirring archival narratives for cinematic rock, electronics and orchestra, have been with us since 2009. Led by instrumentalist-auteur J. Willgoose, Esq., these masters of conceptual pop historiography have depicted humankind scaling Everest and confronting Nazism on 2013’s Inform- Educate-Entertain, and launching into the cosmos on The Race For Space in 2015. 2017’s Every Valley then examined societal struggle via Britain’s coal industry, while 2021’s Bright Magic was a dizzying portrait of Euro-metropolis Berlin. 2023’s This New Noise, recorded live at the BBC Proms, was a love letter to the national broadcaster in its most elemental form. In each case, what was removed in time and specific in nature became vital and universal, as the human spirit was fathomed and saluted.
Now the band will consider a quite different, and more personal, type of heroism. The Last Flight concerns the final voyage of America’s pioneering female “aviatrix” Amelia Earhart. In 1922, aged just 25, she flew higher than any woman before her. In the years that followed she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, set multiple speed and distance records, and mixed with the highest and the best. In 1937 she found a new ceiling to shatter and announced that she would circumnavigate the globe. Taking off from Oakland in her Lockheed Model 10-E Electra aircraft on May 20, she crossed the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. On July 2, she and her navigator Fred Noonan left Papua New Guinea to fly to Howland Island in the Central Pacific. She never made it, and instead ascended to the level of myth reserved for the bravest adventurers."

For many years small local AM radio stations were the primary source of news, information and entertainment for the community. Most operated from sunrise to sunset. Many of these stations have signed off for the final time as their listeners are using more modern forms of communications and rarely listen to local radio broadcasts. As a result of low listenership, those stations cannot attract enough advertisers to pay the bills. Somehow, WEPG-AM in South Pittsburg, Tennessee is still hanging on, but it may not be too many more sunsets before the signoff announcements are made, the national anthem is played, and the transmitter is shut down for the final time.

Built in 1958 the 333m-tall Tokyo Tower serves as the main broadcasting tower in Tokyo. It will retire in 2012 when Tokyo Sky Tree, a new communications tower, will be completed and taking over the broadcasting functions.
Well now - that's more like it! My favourite little pond has finally woken up. One week later and there were countless Large Reds, Blue-tails, a Downy Emerald and 7 male Broad-bodied Chasers battling for territory. Things got even more exciting with the presence of females, 3 in total. engaged in mating and immediately ovipositing.
However it was the arrival of this sweet lady who caught my attention. Nicely, and all to briefly, perched on a gorse bush after flying in from who knows where. Only had chance to use the long lens, but I think it did rather well.
After a brief visit there just after lunch time, I picked up Sue from work and took her for a little picnic at the pond. OK, so I had another motive, but she enjoyed the chance to marvel at the best display the New Forest has shown so far this year.
Certainly beats going home....
A non typical view of the BBC Broadcasting House in London, with the 'All Souls Langham Place' church centrally in front. A great mixture of architectural styles.

This little drop of water (1mm diameter) is on the tip of a .5 cm moss sprout.
Supermacro reversed 50mm technique employed here. Very small. Very shallow depth of field results in the large blurry moss seeds in the background. In reality, they are just a few mm away. Microworld!
In London for a meeting and had a visit to this impressive building at lunchtime to do a radio interview on Radio 4.
