Photographs of a number of old structures made by man including Stonehenge, the oldest in this set, and the Caen Hill locks on the Kennet and Avon canal which are the most recent.

Photographs from an evening walking the south west edge of Dartmoor around Shell Top and Penn Beacon and overlooking the china clay works and towards Plymouth Sound in the evening sunlight [...]
