Everyday Phenomena
Original photographs by Alexandra Pope
They're everywhere, if you just know when to look
 

Beer

Q: When is the glass really half full?

A: When you can see the sunlight in the bottom

Alcohol makes its own excuses for being miraculous. . .
 

London, for what it's worth, can be a very beautiful place at sunset. . .


Money often shines as bright as history. . .
 

Sometimes you have to look at things a bit off-center. . .
 

Children

There's something distinctly disarming about that sort of trust. . .
 

When you look at a swing from a child's perspective, it doesn't seem to matter that at any given moment, you might fall.
 

There are two sides to every bridge. . .



About the pictures

The girl in the photographs is Tegan Jayne Davies, the photographer's niece. Pictured first at almost 24 months, and again at 3 years. She belongs solely to her parents, sister and "Auntie Alex".

The first beer picture was taken at the Wheel And Compass pub, Dorset county. The second was taken at the Meon Shores, Lee-On-The-Solent.

The picture of Big Ben was obviously taken in London, and the picture of the skyline was taken from a moving boat on the Thames.

The bridge is the original 11th-century Roman bridge at Bath. The front is the side you can see from the city; the back the part they don't want the tourists to see.

All photographs taken in the UK on the photographer's father's Nikon automatic. <grin>
