Times Square New York Police Dept In the UK police building do not look anything like this but I suspect that most in the USA don't either it's just that this one is in Times Square. This is such a colourful and busy scene that I almost converted to black and white as there is so much going on, every time you look at this photograph you see something different.

Inside The Willys Jeep Willys trademarked the "Jeep" name, turned the MB into the civilian Jeep CJ models, and Jeep became its own brand. The 1945 Willys Jeep was the world's first mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive car. The Willys Jeep was and probably is one of the most versatile vehicles for the US army during WW2. Taken from inside the cabin of this perfectly preserved model. You can still see the soldiers taking a bit of downtime among other classic vehicles through the window screen.

Black Top Hat Throughout the 19th century, the top hat was a mainstay of Victorian life: a man in a topper was well-to-do, respectable, a man of industry. But now the top hat is only a caricature of the upper class privilege it once represented. Its history traces a line through dandies, beavers, silk, and madness These photos were taken in my studio for my "stock" collection but thought they may make interesting & unique photos for various products. These images are called cut outs or cutouts that are often used in newspapers for products. These images are produced and edited to a professional standard By Paul Thompson Photography

Changing Of The Guard At Buckingham Palace The Regimental Band outside Buckingham Palace in London, UK Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace is the ceremony where The Queen's Guard hands over responsibility for protecting Buckingham Palace and St. James's Palace to the New Guard. So why do these guards wear tall black hats and conspicuous red tunics? As hard as it may be to believe, the uniform was supposed to intimidate opposing armies. "The idea was that you made your foot soldiers look taller and therefore more fearsome," By Paul Thompson Photography

I then drove round town using a long exposure to capture the movement in the lights from cars, other vehicles and street lights. There is movement, intentionally, in this image and it adds to the drama. By Pau...

La Havana, Green Car In Cuba This amazing classic American car was typical of the streets of Havana on the Caribbean island of Cuba. These old 1950's car litter the streets with their history and make this place so unique in this world. We only had 3 days in Havana, but I have a lifetime of memories and photographs to look back upon. This image is for car fans and those fascinated by everything Cuban. This makes for a great puzzle, but will be really impressive as a large print or canvas in a prominent position in your home or office. By Paul Thompson Photography

Classic Green Car In Old Havana Cuba An American classic car in Havana, Cuba, parked on the roadside with graffiti on the opposite wall. These imposing cars have used these streets in Habana since the 1950's and unless anything changes they will need to keep going a lot longer. From a selfish point of view I hope they are here to stay but for the locals I can see that they are missing out on a different, I dare not say better, life.

Blue Car In Old Havana, Cuba American cars were imported into Cuba for about 50 years, beginning near the early 20th century. After the Cuban Revolution, the U.S. embargo was erected and Castro banned the importation of American cars and mechanical parts. That's why Cuba is the way it is today—essentially a living museum for classic cars. I just loved the blue car against the blue background it really makes a change from trying to find a contrast of colours. There is a square version on my Cuba page with this car on but I thought it deserved the full landscape treatment as this car was almost painted with the same paint pot as it's surroundings.

Red Gas Pump This is how I turn something very ordinary into something interesting. If I had just uploaded this photograph as I saw it then you would have dismissed it and passed it by but as you are here and reading this then I assume the selective color popping has done the trick. This can be quite time consuming as you have to use the eraser tool on Photoshop to rub out the top layer to reveal the colour below on the parts that you want to highlight in color.

Pendine Sands (Welsh: Traeth Pentywyn, "end of the dunes beach") 7 miles (11 km) of beach on the shores of Carmarthen Bay on the south coast of Wales. It stretches west to east from Gilman Point to Laugharne Sands. The village of Pendine is close to the western end of Pendine Sands.

Sandstone Bridge Across The River Eden, Cumbria, UK As we were staying in Lazonby, this river was just down the hill from our cottage. The river was known to the Romans as the Itouna, as recorded by the Greek geographer Claudius Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy) in the 2nd century AD. This name derives from the Celtic word ituna, meaning water, or rushing. Thus there is no relation to the biblical Garden of Eden. By Paul Thompson Photography

Traditional Victorian Chemist Shop Lotions And Potions Back in the day, not so long ago, this is what a traditional chemist shop looked like. This is where you handed in your prescription and received your medicine. The dispensary would readily hand out morphine for a child’s cough or leeches for a wound and earthworms to cure your bruise. The Apothecary stocked medicines including laudanum for dysentery, chlorodyne for coughs and colds, and camphorated tincture of opium for asthma. So I present this bit of nostalgia for your walls here at Redbubble. By Paul Thompson Photography

Skipton, Leeds & Liverpool Canal, Barge The gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, Skipton is a beautiful market town with an award-winning high street and market, as well as a 12th century castle.

St James' Church, Louth, Lincolnshire, UK I took this on 1st December 2010 and have only just got around to having a look and a play with these shots from this day.

It is notable for having the third tallest spire in the whole of the United Kingdom and being the location of the Lincolnshire Rising. By Paul Thompson Photography

But her emails I cannot add a background colour at the moment as Redbubble is blocking this (probably site maintenance). I will sort as soon as this option is back. But her emails A not-so-subtle way to change the subject when you are about to be faced with being wrong about something. This is a reference to overlooking many many many problems with donald trump due to the single issue of Hillary Clinton's private email server, and using that reason as both a reason and defense for voting for him. This is currently used by trump voters any time any legitimate fault is found of Mr. trump. Person A: "Mr. trump rants that the media inaccurately covers him but when a reporter is kindly attempting to get his point of view he not only r...

The Town Of Great Grimsby This is one of the welcome signs to my birth home town of Great Grimsby in North Lincolnshire, UK. This one is on the way in from Louth and Toll Bar School and I couldn't have asked for a better day to be taking outdoor photographs. I have just spent a couple of hours being ferried around the outskirts of town by my wife, parking in awkward places {sorry if you were behind us) and jumping out to get a couple of photos before the traffic built up behind us. There will be a few more different versions of these over the coming days in various formats. Let me know if you want me to upload individual photos of separate signs and I will do this for you and may well upload them all separately anyway. By Paul T...
