When viewed from the shore this dolerite outcrop is seen as a black sihouette but when viewed from above it is much more interesting. The town of Kinghorn can be seen in the distance, beyond the sands of Pettycur Bay, and Inchkeith island sits to the right, in the Forth of Forth.

Looking out towards Loch Gairloch from the village of Badachro. At the end of the nineteenth century, Badachro was a busy fishing village. Cod, landed here and at Gairloch, was dried at one of two curing stations at Badachro - one on Eilean Horrisdale, which is the larger island in the centre of the pciture, and one on Eilean Tioram, the smaller island in front. Today, lobsters, crabs and prawns are landed for markets in the south and in Europe.

This is a six-shot vertorama of the railway bridge over the River Tay.

St. Mary's Lighthouse sits on the tiny St Mary's Island, just north of Whitley Bay on the coast of North East England. The small rocky tidal island is linked to the mainland by a short concrete causeway, which is submerged at high tide. The lighthouse and adjacent keepers' cottages were built in 1898 by the John Miller company of Tynemouth. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1984 and a few years later St.Mary's was opened as a visitor attraction by the local council. Since 2012 St Mary's lighthouse has been grade II listed. While it no longer functions as a working lighthouse, it is easily accessible (when the tide is out) and regularly open to visitors.

The Sun currently fuses about 600 million tons of hydrogen into helium every second, converting 4 million tons of matter into energy every second as a result. This energy, which can take between 10,000 and 170,000 years to escape from its core, is the source of the Sun's light and heat.
