Stephensons Rocket was an early steam locomotive, built in at the Forth Street Works of Robert Stephenson and Company in 1829. The Rocket was the most advanced steam engine of its day. It was built for the Rainhill Trials held by the Liverpool & Manchester Railway in 1829 to choose the best and most competent design. It set the standard for a hundred and fifty years of steam locomotive power. Though the Rocket was not the first steam locomotive.

  • A Rolls-Royce turbofan has been fixed to the exterior of the company’s sales stand at the Farnborough Air Show in Hampshire, England. The British-owned company have been making aircraft engines since 1914 at the start of the First World War, in response to the nation's needs, Royce designed his first aero engine – the Eagle. Modern airliners have the Trent engine's technology embedded in its power plants and Farnborough is a major showcase for its many designs. Here, their chalet has a mocked-up garden feature complete railings and the turbine blades attached to the wall above. 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 visitor to the General Electric (GE) exhibition stand at Britain's Farnborough Air Show, points to a feature on a massive, GE90-115B turbofan jet engine. Powering Boeing 777 airliners with up to 115,000 Pounds of thrust, this is a state-of-the-art engine that entered service in April 2004 with Air France. Its giant blades are lit with blue stage lighting to make it look iconic and imposing, dominating this picture of technology and innovation. Such mechanical excellence attached to the world's aircraft are helping to make them quieter and more energy and fuel efficient at a time when oil prices are making air travel an expensive mode of transport.

  • A lone passenger gazes out from the departure lounge at Charles de Gaulle/Roissy airport terminal to where airliners are parked. It is late evening and blue light outside makes the orange interior look warm. Designed by Paul Andreu, Charles de Gaulle became a symbol for airport modernity - a Le Corbusier concept of rail stations and ‘autodromes.’ Charles de Gaulle’s role as airport and rail station fuses into one, thus becoming an ‘Aérogare’ where trains and planes whisk the new world traveller of the late ‘60s, away beyond an ever-extending horizon. From here, the Air France Concorde crashed on the aviation employment town of Gonesse on July 25th 2000.

  • Workers make final inspection on solar panels at the Suntech Power Holdings factory in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China on 28 July 2009.  While China, the world's largest electricity consumer, installed less that 3% of the world's solar power capacity last year, its government subsidized alternative energy manufacturing industry now supplies the majority of the solar panels on the world market.

  • A female office worker pauses to make a call on her mobile phone, on a wide walkway in Ernst & Young's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot European headquarter at More London, London England. All other walkways above and below are empty and holding her head, the lady has sought privacy from her open-plan workstation and stands on her own. Architecturally, the term atrium comes from Latin: A large and light central hall or reception of a house where guests were greeted. The depth and height of all levels from near the top to almost the bottom give a sense of vertigo, a dizzying perspective. E & Y employs 114,000 people, in 700 locations across 140 countries around the world.

  • The solitary figure of a man stands on the roof of an office building in downtown Atlanta during a victory parade for the city's baseball team. The man may be a security guard, keeping watch over the streets below as crowds gather to honour the Atlanta Braves Baseball team, after their 1995 World Series win. The figure is in his manmade environment and the high walls and windows of the buildings that make up this metropolis dwarf this tiny human who in the scale and perspective of a modern city looks incongruous, isolated and insignificant.

  • A man walks beneath urban landscape of modern architecture at Broadgate in the City of London. Walking below large struts and support columns, the man makes his way downhill. Broadgate Estate is a large, 32 acre (129,000 m²) office and retail estate in the City of London, owned by British Land and managed by Broadgate Estates. It was originally built by Rosehaugh and was the largest office development in London until the arrival of Canary Wharf in the early 1990s. The City is a major business and financial centre. Throughout the 19th century, the City was perhaps the world's primary business centre, and it continues to be a major meeting point for businesses

  • It is the mid-afternoon break and striding confidently through a monochrome scene, a female employee of international auditing company Ernst & Young makes her way towards security barriers carrying her purse to exit E & Y's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot European headquarters at More London, London England. A distracted male colleague approaches in the opposite direction, already having swiped his proximity card (using electronic key card technology to allow access through proof of authenticity) into the magnetic scanner while talking into his mobile phone. Both are dressed cassually, reflecting E & Y's policy of informal clothes for anything other than senior executives. Ernst & Young employs 114,000 people, in 700 locations across 140 countries around the world.

  • A woman and a child walk in front of a roll of new apartment buildings in Shanghai, China on 07 April, 2009.  By making short-term and sometimes hasty bets on China's property market, analysts say, some of the world's biggest financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley, Merry Lynch, and Deutsche Bank,  may have lost as much as $10 billion.  For the past decade, Shanghai has underwent the largest reconstruction in recorded history, over 20 million square meters of land, approximately a third of Manhattan, were developed between year 200 and 2005 alone. Despite that however, housing prices have seen a rapid increase, putting the prospect of owning a decent sized home out of the reach of ordinary Chinese citizens, especially middle to low income families.

  • An elderly gentleman wearing a traditional bowler hat and carrying an umbrella, pauses to read the headlines in the London Evening Standard newspaper, before making his way home from Bank Triangle, outside the Bank of England. He is one of the last examples of a bygone age, when many in London's financial district wore such work clothes - a way of typifying a cretain breed of Englishness and class system, known all over, and still expected, around the world. Sadly, gents like this are very rare after modern fashions, lower standards and changed attitudes in the workplace meant that younger men no longer wanted to wear a stuffy outfit to work. The days of the bowler are fast disappearing.

  • An elderly gentleman wearing a traditional bowler hat and carrying a folded newspaper descends the steps from the bright daylight to the dark of the London Underground, before making his way home from Royal Exchange at Bank Triangle by tube. He is one of the last examples of a bygone age, when many in London's financial district wore such work clothes - a way of typifying a breed of Englishness and class system, known all over, and still expected, around the world. Sadly, gents like this are very rare after modern fashions, lower standards and changed attitudes in the workplace meant that younger men no longer wanted to wear a stuffy outfit to work. The days of the bowler are fast disappearing. Behind him are the tall and solid Corinthian pillars of the 3rd Royal Exchange built in 1842 by Sir William Tite.
