On our way around the Birling Gap just down the cliff from Beachy Head...

Was that taken through a very clear windscreen, or did you stand in the road Nice composition plenty of depth

That's a lovely stretch of road...... when you're not following a motorhome or caravan and it's not busy in high summer. Very nice on a motorbike

Best I could do at such short notice - courtesy of Google Maps......

With the nights drawing in, this is one of the best times of year to experiment with a bit of atmospheric, twilight, evening and night-time shutter clicking. As ever no inhibiting threshold of photographic excellence or interestingness.

I saw this image in a link which few will have clicked on, on the Romsey Signal Box Museum Website. A superb little project in Romsey Hampshire, which also takes a fully working authentic miniature signal box equipment installation as an educational resource to local schools.

This night-time image in black and white is the signal box formerly at Cowley Bridge Junction near Exeter which the miniature installation is based on.

These two are from the same place. 10 points for working out where

A place at night - own work

How far away from Biarritz to the nearest 1,000 miles

Neil

[Rp0thejester]

Bristol?

[bobins]

Well it's well under 1000 miles, so to the nearest 1000 miles.... it'll be 1000 miles

[bobins]

Bristol?

No, but.........

Agreed, you can get some really great photos at night...

Not a signal box but signalling equipment at St. Austell railway station last evening in the twilight...

[CitroJim]

Another one of St.Austell railway station by night...

And an atmospheric street in the same town...

Love this place

[NewcastleFalcon]

Bristol?

No, but.........

Have to give Ryan the credit for that, but a closer look reveals the clue left behind in the picture which I had missed. 545 miles as the crow flies from Biarritz...One version of the Bristol Hotel is in Gibraltar and in an approximate co-incidence Bristol is 553 miles from Biarritz as the crow flies (As the crow flies mileages supplied by https://www.doogal.co.uk/MeasureDistances )

Not so much a POtD, but definitely pleasing for me to get out the house today.
