  1. Canada geese gather on a jetty jutting out into Windermere's dark waters. Green mountains are visible in the background and there are a few sail boats with their sails bound up. In the foreground a thick black post carries a warning poster saying in big red letters CAUTION TOXIC ALGAE, then in smaller black letter it says: Take car when bathing in this water. This water may contain toxic algae which can cause upset stomach and skin irritation. Animals can also be seriously affected.

  2. Julie Minns, Lord Kirkhope, and Andrew Husband sitting on the BBC Politics North red sofa. Minns, with a brown bob cut and wearing an orangey red half sleeve jacket and black top looks to her left with her face contorted slightly as if she is mid laugh or cry. In the middle with receding but still mainly light brown hair, Kirkhope wears the standard dark suit, dark tie, light shirt combo. He's mid sentence and has both hands stretched out in front of him. His expression could be that of someone hoping to convince, but might be exasperation. Husband has gone office casual. Black jacket over a blue shirt with the top buttons undone. Grey trousered, no tie, neat brown hair that has a fair amount of volume. With his hands lightly clasped in front of him, his mouth is turned up at one side, perhaps showing a lack of agreement with Kirkhope, or perhaps just confusion. There are four BBC Politics branded mugs on the table in front of them, perhaps for thirst avoidance, perhaps for aesthetically repetitive marketing.
