HMS Warrior is a warship built for the Royal Navy in the 19th Century. It has a black and red hull. The front mast has Christmas lights in shaped like a Christmas tree. The sun has set and lights can be seen illumination boats and buildings around the harbour.

A bridge spans a river and is made up of six arches. A train is just coming over the bridge with steam coming out of its chimney. It is pulling several carriages that are yellow and red.

A small deer is staring directly into the camera. Its fur is brown with white spots on the top of its back. It is surrounded by trees and autumn leaves blanket the floor.

An aerial view of the beach at Ventnor with several buildings in the centre of the picture running alongside the sand. In the distance the coastline turns more rugged with trees and cliffs visible. In the foreground, there are sea defences made up of large boulders.

A peaceful sunrise over the New Forest. The sun glows orange on the horizon and lights up the sky. There is a large area of common land with trees on the horizon. One tree with no leaves frames the front of the picture.
