, Causeway, Horsham, England, United Kingdom, UK
**A May afternoon along the historic Causeway in Horsham, England. Ivy-clad brick residences and traditional stone walls line the quiet, tree-lined street. Prominently featured are mature, pollarded trees, their fresh green leaves contrasting against a partly cloudy blue sky, where a bird is captured in mid-flight. This image showcases the charming and well-preserved character of this picturesque thoroughfare.**
This golden-hour view down Massachusetts Avenue NW in Washington, D.C.’s Embassy Row offers a striking contrast between eras: on the left, ornate Gilded Age mansions with turrets and stone façades; on the right, the minimalist glass-and-brick geometry of a mid-century modern federal building. It’s a visual dialogue that defines the city’s architectural DNA—where historic preservation and civic functionality meet face-to-face.
In the foreground, late 19th-century Romanesque Revival and Beaux-Arts townhouses exude character with arched windows, rusticated stone bases, and detailed brickwork. Many of these buildings now serve as embassies, think tanks, or private cultural institutions. Their craftsmanship remains evident, even under the bare branches of winter trees. The turreted structure with dark stone is especially notable for its depth and texture, anchoring this block with timeless presence.
Further down the avenue, the sleek lines of a modernist government or office building reflect the sunset in warm amber tones, amplifying the street’s golden warmth and hinting at Washington’s balance between heritage and functionality. Streetlights are just starting to glow, and a few pedestrians add life to the corridor—an everyday snapshot of one of the city's most prestigious boulevards.
This stretch of Massachusetts Avenue captures the architectural and civic soul of the nation's capital, where history is literally built into the street.
This captivating image captures a serene autumn scene in Tokyo, showcasing a tree-lined avenue adorned with vibrant yellow foliage. The composition draws the viewer's eye along the path, leading towards the iconic architecture of the National Diet Building in the background. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the textures of the leaves and the neatly trimmed hedges, creating a harmonious balance between nature and urban life. The presence of a sleek vehicle adds a modern touch, juxtaposing the timeless beauty of the season with the dynamic energy of the city.
This photo captures a bustling street scene in Paris near the iconic Arc de Triomphe at night. The illuminated arch stands majestically in the background while moving vehicles and city lights create a vivid atmosphere.
A small part of a number of tree-lined avenues that criss cross the Wirral known as Lever's Causeway.
The main, much broader avenue of this section is behind me on the opposite side of a busy B Road and has been somewhere quiet to walk the dog. New signs have gone up saying no public right of way along with the Leverhulme Estate crest in gold embossed green on a white background. A much sturdier fence is now in place and the avenue beyond, which was a single muddy track with ferns, umbellifers and all manner of unruly undergrowth has a scraped track twice as wide and the undergrowth has been strimmed back. It doesn't look great but with all the new signage hinting that if I jumped the fence there was every chance I'd be met with a 12 bore, I decided to try the other side which thankfully doesn't have signs up so far.
One to return to as Autumn progresses preferably with a little mist if signage allows.
