  • Two tourists reading a street map, refuse the chance to buy a helium balloon from a street vendor near the Tower of London. A man selling a huge bundle of tacky balloons with faces of cartoon characters: jumbo elephants; rabbits; clowns and parrots are clearly not of interest to the visitors who have instead, come to the Tower of London for a dose of history and culture. The woman looks shocked and embarrassed while it is the male of the couple who puts up a hand of objection, saying absolutely no to this offer of tat and rubbish.

  • Late at night, in a gloomy arrivals gate at Chicago O'Hare airport, a young man sits patiently on his own awaiting the arrival of his girlfriend after a holiday in Asia. It is the last flight to land and a helium balloon floats on a string bearing the words 'Welcome Home', a popular gesture for relatives in airports around the world, each having their own cultural way of showing affection for arriving family members after long absences. The balloon stands still, the only colour amid the drab interior of this sprawling airport hub. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • A young girl and her mother prepare for the child's birthday party by tying balloons to the railings of their fine house in this exclusive and classically-designed location in Belgravia, London.

  • An anonymous girl stands holding a bunch of inflated balloons in Ruskin Park, a south London public space. Rising into the late-summer air, the helium-filled balloons are tied to strings and held firmly by the woman, the coloured balloons covering her face. The tall horse chestnut trees are still in leaf but about to turn brown and yellow soon in autumn and the scene is very green after recent English rain and sunshine. Londoners are in the background, enjoying the warm afternoon.

  • A helium-filled Welcome Home balloon floats in the air in Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 arrivals hall. Three families have gathered to meet their respective sons who have been travelling around the world during their university gap year sabbatical trip of a lifetime. Floating upwards, the balloon is brightly coloured amid the hectic concourse where other relatives greet their loved-ones after months away from home on their adventures. This is a tradition practised across the world's airports where families are separated by the need to travel or work in other countries and the emotion of meeting again after long absences is always hard. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).
