The first four of tonight's pictures were taken in Felixstowe, Suffolk on Sunday.
Martello Tower
There were more than a 100 Martello Towers built along England's
South and Eastern coast line in the early 19 century, as defence against the
Napoleonic War,only 40 remain.
This one is used for safety observations on sea and beach.
In December 2002 one such tower in Felixstowe, went on the market for £500,000.
Having been sold it has been converted over a three year period, into a luxury home.
The next three pictures are of Felixtowe Docks.
Huge container ships come in from all over the world, either to be loaded or unloaded.
It is a work of art in unloading them.
High stacks of the containers are standing about the dock yards awaiting dispatch.
The last two pictures are of Culverthorpe lakes a popular walking place near where I live.
