  • With his body in shade and only his head in the sun, a Portuguese man stands in the street of central Lisbon to read the headlines of national and provincial newspapers which are pinned by their top right corners for passers-by to glance at or buy. Lit by early morning sun, the daily or weekly periodicals are set in a neat row for the benefit of this man and other citizens of the Portuguese capital. Ornate square tile mosaics are set in the pavement (sidewalk) in a design style that Lisbon is well-known for. In an age of mass-communications, reading one's media on paper in such a manner already seems old fashioned.

  • Leaping into the air all together are young members of the Donegal High School football cheerleaders squad in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. On a Saturday afternoon as their team called the Braves take a break during their inter-school match, the young ladies wearing matching Irish-green colours leap in free manoeuvre on the instructions of their trainer. They have left their pom-poms on the grass and we see the rest of the sports-loving crowd in the bleachers on the far side of the pitch. Some choose to do mid-air leg splits, some a rather unelaborate twist and of some we only see arms merging with other bodies while others barely make it off the ground, such is their poor timing but there is generally lots of effort and energy in this brief spontaneous moment.

  • A detail of an ill-fated Comet airliner door now confined to the ground at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford, England. Peeling paint and a make-shift padlock shows this museum piece's age and exposure to the outside elements. A year after entering commercial service the Comets began suffering problems, with three of them breaking up during mid-flight in well-publicised accidents. This was later found to be due to catastrophic metal fatigue, not well understood at the time, in the airframes. The Comet was withdrawn from service and extensively tested to discover the cause; the first incident had been incorrectly blamed on adverse weather.

  • The main nose wheel of a British Airways airliner is parked on a stand at Heathrow Airport. The identifying names of the Boeing type range such as 777s, 767, 747 and 757s are also stencilled on the apron concrete to allow exact distances for expandable air bridges and other airfield vehicles to connect and service these differing-sized commercial airliners. The pilot has devices inside and outside to gauge the exact spot to break to a standstill though these marks are largely unsighted to them, high up in the cockpit. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • Employees in a central London office work dilligently alongside the reminders of vacations that colleagues and friends have taken. Picture postcard souvenirs have been lined up as a display of the perfect holiday when they have returned to work to put their shoulders to the grindstone. It is a scene of wishful thinking, of 'wish you were here!' and of looking forward to the next break from the toil of their careers so by showing the idyllic locations of their dreams with these visual reminders, can they imagine the beauty of these places: Tenby in south Wales, the Lake District in northern England and a country hall set in, perhaps, the Scottish  hills. An out of focus worker stares intensely into his PC, perhaps thinking of escapism and a life outside these four walls.
