l liked the vividly coloured yet grungy abandoned state of this room preserved from the beginning of the last century.

Snowdonia
Looking along the length of Llyn Padarn on a rainy day towards Mount Snowdon in North Wales. The mountain peak itself (just to the left of image centre) is shrouded in cloud.
I liked the texture of the rain drops in the lake and the patches of sunlight finding a way through the rain clouds to highlight parts of the water surface and the foreground grasses.
Criccieth Castle
Photograph of Criccieth Castle in North Wales taken on a windy day as Storm Doris hit the UK on 23 February 2017.
Criccieth Castle was famously painted by J. M. W. Turner in about 1835 as part of his series depicting shipwrecked mariners; see Tate.
It looks much stormier in Turner’s picture and he has also turned the castle around to improve the composition.
Hellfire Caves
A modern garden table and a stone face at the window photographed inside the Hellfire Caves (also known as the West Wycombe Caves) near High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
The caves are a network of man-made chalk and flint caverns, excavated between 1748 and 1752, extending 500 metres underground. They were owned by Sir Francis Dashwood and came to be used for meetings of his club which later became known as the Hellfire Club.
The caves are now a tourist attraction.
