Six red double London street lamps against clear blue sky
Apart from the usual tourist attractions, I always enjoy to discover and capture ordinary things in a visually appealing format. This line-up of street lamps against a clear blue sky serves as an example. (London, England, September 1993 - Image ID: 199309-GB-02)

For decades, they were one of the most iconic symbols of England. The shape and the intense red color of the public telephone booths made them unforgettable. They were also a popular postcard motif and tourist souvenir in all kinds of formats. Unfortunately, they have disappeared - nice memories! (London, England, September 1993 - Image ID: 199309-GB-05)

As with many historic places, it is very rare to see them without any restauration going on and the inevitable scaffolding. When I viisited Londn 30 years ago, I was lucky, and virtually all main attractions presented themselves in full glory. Not only that: also the London weather with its notoriously bad reputation was quite friendly and replaced fog with a clear blue sky. (London, England, September 1993 - Image ID: 199309-GB-03)

For some places, it is worth going back at a different time of the day, or even at night, where they look completely different. As with many historic places, it is very rare to see them without any restauration going on and the inevitable scaffolding. When I viisited Londn 30 years ago, I was lucky, and virtually all main attractions presented themselves in full glory. (London, England, September 1993 - Image ID: 199309-GB-06)

Strangely assembled green-white fabric lounge chair in a park
Apart from the busy inner city wth its tourist attractions, I truly enjoyed the many large parks with their old trees and enough space for residents and tourist to get some fresh air. On one of my walks I found this interesting, not perfectly assembled, lounge chair (London, England, September 1993 - Image ID: 199309-GB-04)

Another small detail that caught my attention! At first, I spotted the metal street lamp with a traffic light, until I realized that a second one was located right next to it. After finding the right angle, I waited until both lit up in red and yellow, and took this shot against the lush green background. (London, England, September 1993 - Image ID: 199309-GB-07)

About this archive

The England archives contain all images taken on my various trips to this part of Great Britain.

My first trips there were childhood vacation trips with my parents, mostly to the South coast (before I started to take photos myself).

In 1983, I spent a four weeks in Brighton to improve my English. This trip included my first day excursion to London.

Since then I have returned to England many times, both on leisure trips as well as for business reasons. Unfortunately, I did not always carry my camera, so that some visits remain without proper visual memories.

The first photos published in images4nature date back to September 1993, when I went back to London. This city has always fascinated me for being truly international. People from all around the world bringing their cultures and cuisine make it really cosmopolitan. And there is a lot to discover, not only the famous tourist attractions. I particularly like the huge green lungs of the city, its parks. Both locals and visitors can enjoy nature right in the middle of a multi-million city, and recharge their batteries.

Over time, I will upload quite a lot more images, not only from London, but also covering other parts of the country.

Please enjoy scrolling through my England archives.
