  • Two girls wearing Lolita dresses lean over the barrier over the River Thames on the South Bank, London, UK. Lolita fashion is a subculture originating in Japan that is based on Victorian-era clothing. The look began primarily as one of modesty with a focus on quality with a sense of the gothic also. The original shape is a knee length skirt with a "cupcake" shape assisted by petticoats, but has expanded into various types of garments. Blouses, knee high socks or stockings and headdresses are also worn.

  • A detail of the clock face to the Elizabeth Tower in London. It's close to 4pm and we see the hands and neo-Gothic design. The Elizabeth Tower (previously called the Clock Tower) named in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in her Diamond Jubilee year – was raised as a part of Charles Barry's design for a new palace, after the old Palace of Westminster was largely destroyed by fire on the night of 16 October 1834. The new Parliament was built in a Neo-gothic style. Although Barry was the chief architect of the Palace, he turned to Augustus Pugin for the design of the clock tower.

  • A wide view of Manchester Town Hall in Albert Square bathed in late afternoon orange light. The statue of an unknown public figure stands prominently with his arm raised towards this Victorian-era, Neo-gothic municipal building in Manchester, England. The building functions as the ceremonial headquarters of Manchester City Council and houses a number of local government departments but here, the 5 Olympic rings hang from the building's facade, a gesture for when the city was the bidding candidate for the 1996 and 2000 Olympics. Completed by architect Alfred Waterhouse in 1877, the building features imposing murals by the artist Ford Madox Brown depicting important events in the history of the city. The Town Hall was rated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building in 1952 and the Town Hall Extension completed in 1938, was Grade II* listed in 1974.

  • A detail of Big Ben's clock face in Westminster, central London. The clock and dials were designed by Augustus Pugin, set in an iron frame 23 feet (7.0 m) in diameter, supporting 312 pieces of opal glass, rather like a stained-glass window. As a symbol of parliamentary power and a national democracy, Big Ben is part of the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, where the two Houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (the House of Lords and the House of Commons) conduct their business. It is therefore a potent symbol for British Governmental power, influence and a world-famous landmark for tourists. Big Ben is the name of the clock's bell and not the tower itself.

The funeral of Thomas Sayers, the last of the bare-knuckle prizefighters, was sure to attract crowds. He had been hugely popular in his lifetime, having vanquished many a more formidable-looking opponent in a career lasting over ten years.  The dog, with a band of crape around his neck, behaved impeccably. Not so the other spectators at the cemetery, who danced and screamed, yelled and hooted, whistled and shrieked, like demons.... As many as 10,000 turned up for the burial, rushing ahead to the top of the hill where it was to take place, swarming into the trees for the view.

  • Looking up from the ground, we see above our heads some Renaissance frescoes (the painting on the left is of Vienna) that were painted on the ceiling of the first courtyard in Palazzo Vecchia in Florence's Piazza della Signoria. The first courtyard was designed in 1453 by Michelozzo and the frescoes on the walls, representing scenes of the Austrian Habsburg estates, were painted in 1565 by Giorgio Vasari for the wedding celebration of Francesco I de' Medici, the eldest son of Cosimo I de' Medici, and Johanna of Austria, sister of the Emperor Maximilian. The harmoniously proportioned columns, at one time smooth, and untouched, were at the same time richly decorated with gilt stuccoes. Their faded appearance now lends them a quality of fine antiquity.

  • From a high viewpoint, we see two small-scale visitors admiring the neo-Gothic Derwent Reservoir Dam. Not to be confused with Derwent Water in Cumbria, or Derwent Reservoir (North East England) this Derwent is the middle of three reservoirs in the Upper Derwent Valley in the north east of Derbyshire, England. The River Derwent flows first through Howden Reservoir, then Derwent Reservoir and finally through Ladybower Reservoir. Between them they provide practically all of Derbyshire's water, as well as to a large part of South Yorkshire's and as far afield as Nottingham and Leicester. The reservoir is around 1.5 mi (2 km) in length, running broadly north-south, with Howden Dam at the northern end and Derwent Dam at the south. A small island lies near the Howden Dam.
