  • VW van parked opposite redundant farm buildings near Clarksdale. If you want to explore Clarksdale and the Blues country in true retro fashion the best place to do so is by staying at the Shack Up Inn. In The Promised Land: The Great Black Migration and How It Changed America, author Nicholas Lemman describes how, on Oct. 2, 1944, a crowd of 3,000 people quietly watched the first public demonstration of the mechanical cotton picker at Hopson's plantation in Clarksdale. At best, wrote Lemman, a skilled field hand could pick 20 pounds of cotton in an hour; the mechanical picker picked 1,000 pounds. Hopson calculated that a bale of cotton (500 pounds) cost $39.41 to pick by hand and $5.26 by machine. It wasn't too hard to foresee the future. Hopson was the first plantation to convert completely to the mechanical cotton pickers. Soon afterward, the sharecropper shacks where the plantation's workers had lived were abandoned and then torn down. But now they're back at the Shack Up Inn, Mississippi's oldest B&B -- and that's bed and beer, y'all. "We don't fool around with any fixing of breakfasts," said Bill Talbot, part owner of the inn.

  • Vicksburg, Mississippi at dusk. This multi story carpark  is transformed as the remains of a storm at sunset  turn the sky iridescent. There are perhaps defining moments on all big trips. Arriving in Vicksburg, Mississippi at dusk just as a  huge thunderstorm was beginning to break was one of them. It had been raining so hard, that an alligator had mistook the four-lane Interstate for the swollen Mississippi beside it and tragically met its death there. But as we drew into elegant Vicksburg, with its pillar-fronted houses on hilly streets, something astonishing happened. The sky, the result of a hot, setting sun, and the remains of a storm, was suddenly alive with an iridescent glow, so otherworldly, it looked like a space ship had landed.  A rainbow stretched between two red brick towers, and you could just hear hear a steamer's horn, as it edged its way down the mighty Mississippi

  • Kayaks and canoes stand upright against a shop wall in Oban, Scotland. With a background of orange render and a yellow door to this outdoor adventure shop, the two coastal sport boats combine perfectly with the echoed colours, similar pastel colours on the spectrum. In addition, we see a yellow At Any Time street sign preventing motorists from parking here at the roadside. We are in a back street of Oban, a west coast ferry town that serves many outlying isles in this wild region of Scotland. Visitors enjoy sea kayaking which can be expensive to hire so these two examples can be bought from the outfitters for around £700 and £1,00 respectively. Interestingly, the brand for the smaller boat is Eskimo, a term seen in some regions of north America as unacceptable, while in others used more widely.

  • A businessman walks down a quiet financial district back street carrying an umbrella whose stripes echo those of double-yellow lines. This coincidental theme of yellows and lines make for a slightly comical landscape. Rainfall is making the capital's pavements glisten with narrow puddles in the gutter. The man strides down the street in London's financial district, more specifically where insurance brokers operate near Lloyds of London.

  • A 15 year-old teenage girl sips a Starbucks Frappuccino coffee through a straw in a London Street. Dressed in a black cloche-style hat, black glasses and matching black coat, the young lady purses her lips to draw in the iced drink, ironically on a bitterly cold mid-winter's day. The girl's long hair spills over her shoulders and her hat is pulled low over her head, keeping the low temperatures out. The wall is in a back street of Greenwich in southeast London, the area of the city known for its maritime heritage and this young consumer is a target buyer for Starbucks, the coffee retailer.

  • A bucket (pale) of smokers' cigarette butts have been extinguished in a London back street alleyway. Stubbed out in sand to prevent them reigniting for safety reasons, the fags (English slang for cigarettes) echo the steel pegs on the ground. A single packet is also in the bucket at the rear entrance of a London restaurant. Catering staff takes a break from long hours working inside and smoke. The UK government say each year smoking causes 80,000 deaths, costing the National Health Service (NHS) £2.7bn. Just 22% of Britons are smokers - down from 27% at the end of the 1990s - and two-thirds say they would like to give up.

  • Church in North Carolina . You can’t drive through the southern states, 'Bible Belt' of  America without passing lots of churches. This really is a God fearing part of the world with religion everywhere: in the gospel music, sermons on the radio and lots of vast signs on the road advertising directly for your soul. Pictured here is a is sign opposite a typical wooden built chapel. Other signs near by read: “The Church is a rest home for sinners not a hospital for saints” or simply “alcohol is a sin”.

  • A hire car strays into the two-way cycling lanes on 9th February 2017, on Blackfriars Bridge Road, in London borough of Southwark, England. Car drivers have found it hard to adjust to new cycling priority areas and this route has been designed to improve safety and comfort for cyclists by reducing conflict with motorised traffic. It also provides new and improved pedestrian facilities. The 5km North-South route is either fully separated from traffic, or on quiet back streets. At its northern end, the route will connect with Central London Grid routes, allowing cyclists to travel safely.

  • The legendary crossroads of Highways 49 and 61 outside Clarksdake, Mississippi. In the juke joints around Clarksdale, Mississippi, Robert Johnson was known as the kid who could barely play the guitar he often carried. Stories are told of musicians inviting Johnson to join them on stage, knowing that, before he got very far, the audience would be laughing. He disappeared for a while. When he returned, no one who heard him could believe he was the same man. He blew everyone away, playing the songs that would make him famous, among them "Cross Road Blues" and "Me And The Devil Blues." Rumours started and a myth was born :Johnson did a deal with the devil here at the crossroads of Highways 49 and 61 and sold his soul in return for his musical abilities. Whatever  the truth fans on the way to  the historic Blues town of Clarksdale and and its  Delta Blues Museum will often stop at Abe's Bar B Q on the intersection and pay homage.

  • Motel shot at night on the outskirts of Vicksburg, Mississippi. Part of the attraction of a road trip is just hitting the tarmac and seeing where you will end up. When the budget doesn’t run to a fabulous hotel you can always plump for rough and ready and possibly film noir at the thousands of bargain priced motels around the states. One can normally get clean sheets and a comfortable bed for the night but if not it all adds to the classic road trip experience.

However the cotton pickers migration north after the introduction of mechanization  took  something of the blues soul with them with the blues museum as important an institution as any of the remaining blues joints .

  • Passers-by ignore a destitute bag lady in a Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui street on the Kowloon side. The poor woman sits amid the bustle and crowds of a capitalist population obsessed with wealth and prosperity, she is alone in a material world. Bent over with shame and poverty, the lady is shrouded in a sleeping bag with all her worldly possessions at her feet. Unconcerned, the rest of the Chinese shoppers and commuters simply pass-by on their way to achieve yet more success in this former British-ruled colony that was ceded back to China in 1997.

  • Two young ‘Scouse' girls sit on a telephone junction box and against a brick wall on which there is graffiti and childish scribbles. They are near a back alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England. The older, taller girl is of Asian-descent and the younger is White British who hides her face with her top. Both are facing other activity in this inner-city street where there are 'back to back' houses in a poor area, South of the city centre and home to deprived families. Few of these back-to-backs exist after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats.

  • A male passenger is asleep with his mouth open, leaning his head on a bus window as it passes the background pillars of the Bank of England in the financial district City of London. On the exterior of the bus are the words: "We've got to get this city to work," an advertising slogan used by London Transport to seduce commuters from their cars and back on to public transport which is one of the most expensive world capitals on which to travel by bus, train or underground. This style of bus is a traditional design called a 'Routemaster' which has been in service on the capital's roads since 1954 and is nowadays only seen on heritage routes such as these destination: Victoria, Bond Street, Oxford Street, Holborn and Bank (the Bank of England). From any angle, the bus is easily recognisable as that classic British transport icon.  The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the 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. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.

  • Taken six months after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a German lady from the old German Democratic Republic (DDR or GDR) looks back over her shoulder nostalgically at an abandoned Trabant car on a sunlit street in eastern Berlin, once in the eastern zone before the Communist-inspired Berlin Wall was breached in November 1989. Blocks of modern East German-designed flats line the street and a tram line can be seen in the middle of the highway. The DDR-produced Trabant suffered poor performance, but its smoky two-stroke engine regarded with affection as a symbol of the more positive sides of East Germany. Many East Germans streamed into West Berlin and West Germany in their Trabants after the opening of the Berlin Wall. It was in production without any significant change for nearly 30 years. The name Trabant means "fellow traveler" in German.

  • The back of a road crossing figure and a cyclist at the junction of Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road. During the extensive construction of the capital's Crossrail transport project, street-level disruption has been massive and pedestrians and drivers have endured re-routing and hold-ups for many years. On the other side of these blue signs are human figures that stand at these junctions to stop crossing on red lights and thereby help stop accidents.

  • In a rear alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England, we see many black bin-bags are left against industrial brick walls awaiting collection during the Merseyside dustmans' strike of 1991. The cobbled alley of these 'back to back' houses are in a poor area, south of the city centre and home to deprived families. The industrial action against the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool during the summer of '91 when streets filled with rubbish. Vermin like rats ran around and public city parks filled with every kind of refuse and garbage. Few of these back-to-backs now exist after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats.

  • On a street in Macau (also Macao) in the Chinese Special Economic Region (SER), we see the tall stack of cardboard on the back of a bicycle. Its partly-obscured rider and owner has one foot placed on the bike's pedal while his right arm has firm hold of the pile of materials to prevent it from toppling over. In the background we see the signs of many local businesses, their Chinese characters seen clearly on the sides of buildings as pedestrians walk on the pavements. Administered by Portugal until 1999, Macau was the oldest European colony in China, dating back to the 16th century. The administrative power over Macau was transferred to the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1999, 2 years after Hong Kong's own handover. Macau's name is derived from A-Ma-Gau or Place of A-Ma

  • The view from the back during a caleche carriage ride through a street in Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt. Tourists walking along any part of Luxor are pestered by Calesh owners who follow the visitor until they climb aboard. They are dependent of tourist traffic and therefore victims of the downturn. According to the country's Ministry of Tourism, European visitors to Egypt is down by up to 80% in 2016 from the suspension of flights after the downing of the Russian airliner in Oct 2015. Despite the efforts of local animal charities, and although the position has improved in recent years and is still improving, few of the horses appear to be well looked after. The drivers tend to gallop the horses and use their whips unnecessarily and rarely do you see a horse in the shade or drinking.

  • With al fresco customers sitting at cafe tables on the street a driver checks the delivery of toilet rolls and piles them up on the pavement, having taken them out from the back of his van in Soho, central London. Checking the customer's order, the driver stands with his piles of items driven into the capital from a warehouse somewhere. More boxes are piled high and strewn around the vehicle as the transported goods make their way to various locations around the capital. It seems to be an inappropriate place to offload, given the customers' proximity to the toilet rolls.
