  • With orange sparks falling away below, a shipbuilder welds while standing on a scaffolding gantry on the hull of a large German ferry at the Polish Gdansk shipyard - once known as the Lenin Shipyard but still the largest of its kind in modern Poland. The grimy and hazardous working conditions make for a dangerous environment in which to work and the worker wears a protective hood on his head. Here in 1980 the union Solidarity (Solidarnosc) was conceived and was partly responsible for a growing dissent against Communist rule, ultimately contributing towards the fall of the Berlin Wall. Lech Walesa started his political career as an electrical technician here, going on to lead Solidarity and then to become President of a democratic Poland. Today Gdansk is a major industrial city and shipping port.

  • Visitors enjoy the art on the old Berlin Wall at the East Side Gallery, the former border between Communist East and West Berlin during the Cold War. The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off (by land) West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. The Eastern Bloc claimed that the wall was erected to protect its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" in building a socialist state in East Germany. In practice, the Wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that marked Germany and the communist Eastern Bloc during the post-World War II period.

  • As darkness approaches, a queue of campervans and other vehicles queue up at the first checkpoint in the Port of Dover's Eastern Docks, the holidaymakers' first step to travelling across the English Channel to France or Belgium. beneath the famous white cliffs of Dover, that symbol of England's edge that is seen from the sea as one leaves or approaches the English shores. It is dusk and the flood lights have started illuminating the busy port roads and ramps, the red rear tail lights from a truck cross the picture's foreground and the signs - with graphics of busses, cars  and arrows that tell drivers in which lane to line-up glow yellow. Dover has long been one of the World's premier seaports, with centuries of maritime heritage, presented with a Royal Charter in 1606.

  • Roa weasel on Great Eastern Street in Shoreditch, East London. Standing next to works by Ben Eine (coloured letterform 'E') and Phlegm's bizarre character.  Roa is a Belgian street artist renowned for his giant black and white animals which can be found on walls and shutters in varying states of decay. Biggest of them all is the Roa Crane on Hanbury Street which was put up in 2010. There are also a few Rats and Birds which reside on shop shutters along Brick Lane.<br />
<br />
Street art in the East End of London is an ever changing visual enigma, as the artworks constantly change, as councils clean some walls or new works go up in place of others. While some consider this vandalism or graffiti, these artworks are very popular among local people and visitors alike, as a sense of poignancy remains in the work, many of which have subtle messages.
