The brief:
I came across this rather forlorn vacant shop in an unloved corner of a shopping arcade. The perfect place, perhaps, to start selling - what? Can you suggest a business that would fit in here?
It's a perspective puzzle this week, of course. Can you read the vanishing points out of this scene, and build an interior to match?

The brief:
I spotted this water tower when I was in France in the summer. A lot of these things - in England, at least - are being converted into homes these days. Although this isn't a particularly pretty example of the genre, I'm sure it could make an excellent dwelling with the right sort of care and attention.
Anyone fancy a spot of architectural remodelling?

Ah, the romance of sea travel... the dream of an exotic cruise... brought to a crashing end by the reality of the cross-channel ferry. Surely there's something that can be done to add some sparkle and romance to this uninspiring scene?

As you'd expect, I took a load of photos during my recent trip to France, and we'll see a few of them cropping up here during the weeks to come.
I was particularly intrigued by this ruined house, which reminded me of the sort of ruins you see in old war films and games like Call of Duty. Of course, I photographed this scene on a bright, calm day. What would it look like in the heat of battle?

This one does not exactly follow the brief, as I am not happy creating war pictures.

The brief:
As you read this, I'm driving around the west coast of France - ably assisted, of course, by my trusty GPS unit. Of course, these devices do sometimes go wrong and lead people astray.
But just how wrong can they go? Here's the machine: the setting is entirely up to you.

The brief:
I went to a small town fair a few weeks ago - a rather dismal event in
a damp field. Of course, this sort of thing always looks a lot better
at night, when the lights have a chance to ring out.
Think we can perk up this somewhat lacklustre affair?
