Pultney Bridge in Bath, England. There are shops in the bridge, which is why there are windows with lights.
Commissariat House. Kings Bridge Road, St. John’s The Commissariat House is a nineteenth century Georgian building constructed by the British Military Engineers to house both the office and residence of the Assistant Commissariat General. A commissariat is the department of an army charged with the provision of supplies, both food and forage, for the troops. The radial blur effect was created by twisting the zoom and the camera in opposite directions while I pressed the shutter.
Georgian terrace, once owned by the gentry as Dublin townhouses, then many were tenements stuffed with the poor whose landlords were the same aristocrats now also down on their luck. At this time, 1995, they were somewhat less stuffed with students and the odd lawyers office. It was late but not that late for one person at least to clean the porch. Taken from the roof on a very cold winters night. Later, we threw snowballs.

Heading back out into the street from one of Bath’s arcades.
The coal drops on the river Tees estuary, in the 1830’s. I love the daunting and weird, distant grey structures, ready to drop the coal upon the collier (coal) ships. My version of another Thomas Hair. Watercolour and pencil. I have another version of this one, where I changed the overall hue.
This is the very first of my Thomas Hair (1810 – 1875) series. Wallsend pit, by the river Tyne So apologies for any amateur bits – as I’d been painting for less than a year, when I did this. Watercolour rough 140lbs. / Using very cheap, kid’s watercolour pan paint.
Another painting in oils of an idealised England.
Hopetoun Summer Fair in the grounds of Hopetoun House, near South Queensferry, Scotland. Hopetoun House, one of the most splendid examples of Georgian architecture in Britain is the traditional residence of the Earl of Hopetoun (the Marquess of Linlithgow). It was built in 1699 and was designed by William Bruce, and extended in 1721 by William Adam. The house is located near South Queensferry to the west of Edinburgh, Scotland. Set in 150 acres of rolling parkland with extensive woodland walks, breathtaking vistas over the River Forth and a deer park, the magnificent interiors boast fine paintings, original furnishings and décor, tapestries and objects d’art with Aubusson tapestries and fabulous chandeliers in the Ballroom. Part of the House is still lived in today by the present Marquess and his family. The House, however, is owned and managed by an independent, charitable trust created in 1974 by the current Marquess and his father in order to preserve the House with its historic contents and surrounding landscape for the enjoyment and education of the public for all time.

Old Georgian farmhouse in the village of Lockington, Leicestershire, on a snowy February morning
An alley in the oldest and once most industrious part of Valletta. A deserted block of houses and stores dating back to the 17th Century. Still lived in some 50 years ago they now await their turn to naturally crumble down and make space for more modern apartments. 4 copies of a single hand held shot taken with Olympus E-330, processed at 1/3 EV stops merged together with the original in Photomatix Pro3
This building in Derry, Northern Ireland, is an example of some of the City’s fine Georgian and neo-Georgian architecture. Unfortunately it is now in need of some loving attention. It is a listed building, and in due course it will be renovated. Canon EOS 450D, 18-55mm lens, HDR treatment.

Meaford Harbour- Meaford Ontario Canada. / The beach right beside the boat slips in the harbour. / Georgian Bay.Georgian Bay (French: baie Georgienne) is a large bay of Lake Huron, located in Ontario, Canada. The main body of the bay lies east of the Bruce Peninsula and south of Manitoulin Island. Georgian Bay is surrounded by (listed clockwise) Manitoulin District, Sudbury District, Parry Sound District, Muskoka District, Simcoe County, Grey County and Bruce County. The Main Channel separates the Bruce Peninsula from Manitoulin Island and connects Georgian Bay to the rest of Lake Huron. The North Channel of Lake Huron, located between Manitoulin Island and the Sudbury District, west of Killarney, was once a popular route for steamships and is now used by a variety of pleasure craft to travel to and from Georgian Bay. The shores and waterways of the Georgian Bay were, and are, the domain of the Anishinaabeg First Nations peoples to the North and Huron-Petun (Wyandot) to the south. The bay was thus a major Algonquian-Huron trade route. Champlain, the first European to explore and map the area in 1615-1616, called it “La Mer douce” (the gentle sea).[1] It was named “Georgian Bay” (after King George IV) by Lieutenant Henry Wolsey Bayfield of the Royal Navy in 1822 / Georgian Bay is about 320 kilometres (200 miles) long by 80 kilometres (50 miles) wide. It covers over 15,000 square kilometres (5800 square miles), making it almost as large as Lake Ontario. Eastern Georgian Bay is part of the southern edge of the Canadian Shield, granite bedrock exposed by the glaciers at the end of the last ice age, about 11,000 years ago. The granite rock formations and windswept Eastern White Pine are characteristic of the islands and much of the shoreline of the bay. The rugged beauty of the area inspired landscapes by artists of the Group of Seven. The western part of the bay, from Collingwood north, and including Manitoulin Island, Drummond, Cockburn and St. Josephs Island, borders the Niagara Escarpment. There are tens of thousands of islands in Georgian Bay. Most of these islands are along the east side of the bay and are collectively known as the “Thirty Thousand Islands,” including the larger Parry Island. Manitoulin Island, lying along the northern side of the bay, is the world’s largest island in a freshwater lake. The Trent-Severn Waterway connects Georgian Bay to Lake Ontario, running from Port Severn in the southeastern corner of Georgian Bay through Lake Simcoe into Lake Ontario near Trenton. Further north, Lake Nipissing drains into it through the French River. In October 2004, the Georgian Bay Littoral was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO / Georgian Bay Information Source: Wikipedia

I’m using some early 1800s French fashion plates I have to make t-shirt designs. They are original old hand painted images which should be framed and protected. But before I do that I want to bring them into the 21st century…on a t-shirt. I will do a few in this series. Stay tuned.
