  • We see one of a pair of lion guards outside the Bank of China's building in Macau (Macao), in China's Special Economic region (SER). Stone lions, also called Shishi in Chinese, are often found in pairs in front of the gates of Chinese traditional buildings. Chinese guardian lions, known also as stone lions in Chinese art, are a common representation of the lion in pre-modern China. They are believed to have powerful mythic protective powers that has traditionally stood in front of Chinese Imperial palaces, Imperial tombs, government offices, temples, and the homes of government officials and the wealthy from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220). Pairs of guardian lions are still common decorative and symbolic elements at the entrances to restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and other structures.

  • "First ladies." A six month-old infant girl has a shocked look on her face as she plays with a copy of the broadsheet Guardian newspaper whose front page headline photograph is of Hilary Clinton, then First Lady of the United States. Clinton is also looking aghast at something she is experiencing. Coincidentally, the President's wife and the first-born of this family are both first ladies. The child has sunk down into her high-chair, reacting to something her mother has said. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • A schoolboy of Afro-Caribbean descent stands looking confused on a platform at Victoria mainline station in central London. The young lad looks smart in a new school uniform of cap, blazer, long trousers and polished black shoes. We might guess that it is the start of a new academic year and that he is about to attend a new school for which he needs to take a train on his own. His mother and younger and older sister are also to the far right of the picture so he may go with his elder sibling carrying a multi-coloured umbrella and a bright blue briefcase containing his lunch and a few items needed for lessons. Surrounded by adult commuters, some of who look on with mild amusement, also make await their train from the city out of town. Mostly, people mind their own business and what is a special day for the boy will become a much-travelled route.

  • Using a tabloid newspaper, a father seeks shelter from sunshine while sitting in a council deck chair. On the front page of the paper is a headline saying "Butchered' showing a picture of an unfortunate young 3 year-old boy murdered by a maniac axeman. Close-by is the man's own son who is digging a hole furiously in the sand. He looks uncannily like a slightly older version of the murdered boy. This coincidence is heightened because of the body-language of the digging lad, seemingly about to chop an unseen object with his red spade. Both man and boy are on holiday at the northern English seaside resort of Scarborough, North Yorkshire and they are otherwise having a great time on South Beach, near the Grand Hotel building, high up on the cliff.

  • A City of London Griffin looks over Farringdon Road, London. With its red eye and tongue almost touching two pedestrians below, we see its silver-painted skin Positioned at the boundary of what is called the Square Mile, the griffins are symbols of this ancient area of central London, a semi-autominous geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City of London is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, its more modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London, approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium.

  • In the Villa of the Vettii in Pompeii we see a fresco in the lararium where a shrine to Roman guardian spirits of the household was situated. Family members performed daily rituals here to guarantee their protection by these domestic spirits. The first two characters are the deeply venerated 'lares' (presumed sons of Mercury and Lara) depicted as two young men in dancing postures, holding drinking horns that guaranteed prosperity. In the centre is the 'genius'. She is another guardian and fertility spirit ensuring the family line (gens) would continue and she wears the 'toga praetexta', bordered in purple, the garment of high-ranking Roman magistrates. Painted before the catastrophic eruption of Versuvius in AD79, these frescoes have been uncovered from metre-layers of volcanic ash and pumice but are now fading from moisture and cracked plaster.

  • Visitors to the ancient site of Stonehenge celebrate the Summer Solstice on the morning of June 21st - the longest day - by dancing in circles while holding hands. The Stonehenge site is a place of pilgrimage for neo-druids and those following pagan or neo-pagan beliefs. The midsummer sunrise began attracting modern visitors in 1870s. Today the stones are owned by English Heritage, the guardians of ancient and historical structures. Most years, substantial police and barriers prevent on-lookers from approaching the stones but on this occasion, revellers were allowed to party long after the early 4.15am sunrise. Stonehenge is a Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monument located near Amesbury in the English county of Wiltshire. Composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones it is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world. Archaeologists think that the standing stones were erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC and served as an outdoor observatory from where to watch the constellations. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986.

  • Exterior of the Algernon Tollemache almshouse in the west London village of Ham. The Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 established a Board of Guardians, comprising 21 elected guardians for Kingston and its surrounding parishes. Ham always had one or two representatives, but sent very few of its poor to the workhouse, mainly assisting them locally in almshouses. Algernon Gray Tollemache (24 September 1805 – 16 January 1892, London) was a British gentleman and politician. In 1881, Algernon and Frances were living at nearby Ham House but after his death Francis founded six almshouses in Ham in his memory, with an endowment of £16,000 to support three couples and three single residents.

  • As weather warms up after a long winter, English schoolgirls visit London's Trafalgar Square. Wearing blazers and straw boater hats, the girls are standing against the wall of the National Gallery where pigeons gather hoping for crumbs. The girls are on a trip to the capital with teachers and guardians. Their cheeky expressions and behaviour describe their ages of innocence and maturing development.

  • A Beefeater Sergeant Yeoman stands guard outside the Tower of London. The Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary, popularly known as the Beefeaters, are ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London. In principle they are responsible for looking after any prisoners in the Tower and safeguarding the British crown jewels, but in practice they act as tour guides and are a tourist attraction in their own right, a point the Yeoman Warders acknowledge. In 2011, there were 37 Yeomen Warders and one Chief Warder.
