Shaftesbury: dense fog on the A350
It is 1:50 on a Monday morning and my southbound trip on the A350 between Warminster and Blandford Forum is marked by thick fog.
Here, the street lighting as we enter the suburbs of Shaftesbury, at least provide reasonable visibility but I have been slowed to 25mph for longish stretches in the rural unlit parts, despite knowing the roads well and traffic being almost non-existent at this time of the day.
Being able to see only three white lines ahead, it is quite disconcerting to realise that, on a road that you think you know in great detail right down to slight bends and awkward potholes, you don't actually know which way the next bend is going to turn.

Shaftesbury: pre-Worboys sign on the A350
A route confirmatory sign on the way out of town, north on the A350, dating back to before the standardised signage which is so familiar today. I believe Littledown must be the name of a row of houses on this road; the side turning is called Homefield.
The picture was taken at a minute to midnight.

Shaftesbury: postbox № SP7 82, Grosvenor Road
A postbox standing next to a dog-waste bin on the grass between the A350 Grosvenor Road and its service road (Windmill Close is off up to the right).
It is important that these two red receptacles are not confused – it could have disastrous consequences either for your own letters or for other people's, depending on which you are supposed to be using.
The postbox is emptied finally at 5:45pm on weekdays and at 11:45am on weekdays.
