  • Detail of yellow London brick stock laid in English Garden Bond on a south London Edwardian house. Rows of brick and cement, known as mortar are laid in courses called bonds and here, this style of ordering them is specifically, Sussex Bond. The stock of brick is London Stock, a yellowish colour favoured by Victorian and Edwardian buildings in the south-east of England. This was made locally in Suffolk and Kent and transported up-river on stumpies or brickies - kinds of Thames sailing barges. But bricks and mortar is also a metaphor for home ownership and in the economic sense, the value and security of investing in property.

  • A female worker loading bricks into a kiln in Dai Trach village, Bach Ninh province, Vietnam. Only men make bricks and usually it is the women who do the back breaking job of loading and unloading the brick kilns. Kilns have been sited along the Duong river for over a hundred years. They are usually located by rivers, not only to enable clay extraction directly from the river bed but also for transport by boat to where they are needed.

  • Working in a dark corner of Desford Brickworks, the factory owned by Hanson Brick in Leicestershire, a labourer pats his clay aggregate into a clod (also known as a clot or warp) a lump of kneaded clay formed into a rough brick shape by hand in preparation for being thrown into the mould (or mold) and shaped once again with a stock. He will then skim off the surplus with the bow - a wire stretched between the ends of a curved wooden rod used for removing excess clay from the mould, which hangs on the wall by a nail. The stage afterwards is the firing in the kiln. Obviously the mechanisation of brick making endangers the careers of skilled craftsmen like this man. <br />
Bricks may be made from clay, shale, soft slate, calcium silicate, concrete, or shaped from quarried stone but Clay is the most common material.

  • Brick Lane street sign written in English and Bangladeshi in east London. We look up at the tall Victorian building made of bricks to a blue sky and the street sign in two languages. The neighbourhood is in east London, a largely Bangladeshi community known for its fine cuisine and Islamic culture. It runs from Swanfield Street in the northern part of Bethnal Green, crosses Bethnal Green Road, passes through Spitalfields and is linked to Whitechapel High Street to the south by the short stretch of Osborn Street. Today, it is the heart of the city's Bangladeshi-Sylheti community and is known to some as Banglatown.[

  • The words 'No Dumping' writing on an urban brick wall in the south London borough of Lewisham, SE5. Painted by hand on to London stock bricks dating perhaps, to the late-Victorian or early 20th century period, we see the writing asking local residents and business owners not to fly-tip in this unauthorised location. Councils like Lewisham will prosecute those found to be dumping waste and litter. Amusingly, we also notice that the letter P has been empasised with the use of red.

  • Blue refuse bags have been left at the foot of a matching blue brick wall. In this side street of a south London suburb, we see the garbage lying on the pavement (sidewalk) surrounded by autumnal maple leaves. The wall in the background has been roughly painted, the bricks starting to crack. But the picture is about the similar colours of the wall to the Southwark borough council bags that are provided free for residents wishing to dispose of green garden waste only. If you live in a house or flat at street level you will have a blue box and bag for your recycling. In most cases, if you have a green rubbish bin you will also be able to use a blue box and bag.

  • A half-bricked up and painted Victorian terraced house window. With the main door to this old period home painted a vibrant green, one half of the window features the same colour while in the middle section, bricks have replaced a pane of glass, in the manner that Georgian property owners doid when faced by government window taxes - penalising those with glass window and a solitary beer can rests on the sill of the right window.

  • A low, wide landscape of dereliction and poverty during the early 1990s in the city of Liverpool, England. The Catholic cathedral rises high in the distance over near-empty streets where bricks and refuse litter the pavements and empty buildings await destruction - the impoverished population having moved out for a better life elsewhere.

  • Sitting on garden seats, a seaside couple enjoy ice creams near broken building materials in the resort of Sandown. A decaying pile of rubble and building bricks have been left on the ground where visitors and tourists sit on their holiday making for a grim and depressing experience and dystopic landscape. This is the seaside resort of Sandown on the Isle of Wight, twinned (jumelée in French) with the town of Tonnay-Charente, in the western French département of Charente-Maritime. Its American twin town is St. Pete Beach, Florida.

  • Ageing, elderly parents sunbathe with a teenage daughter as the father oddly faces a brick wall while sat in his wheelchair. Looking bored with the family holiday, the young lady of about 18 years of age, sits on a concrete block, the highlight of a vacation at home in Britain, rather than a package trip in mainland Europe. The father has a tanned back but sits facing the brick wall in an eccentric, odd way of sunbathing. He is obviously disabled and can’t reach a beach via steps and perhaps this is why they have opted for this rather desolate corner of the seaside town resort.

  • A bricked-up doorway and windows with football graffiti in a vacant retail building during recession in the city of Newport, Wales. This early 20th century building is now vacant and close to becoming derelict. The boarding up of its access points help to make it secure from illegal entry. The more recent addition of plastic plumbing, with  outlets and downpipes help make this an incongruous industrial landscape of inner-city recession and employment hardship.

  • The cross on the wall of Herne Hill's United Reform Church and the direction sign post (plus its shadow) of Red Post Hill, south London. Echoed by a low winter sun, we see the three repeating crosses as a visual pun, a joke of three same shapes but with different meanings. The exterior of this church is from the 1970s period of architecture but the red post is a recent addition, instigated by locals to return the original landmark for this road junction, a marker for walkers and horses on old byways, paths and tracks going back many hundreds of years. On the post we see that Brixton is one mile away and the neighbouring areas of Herne Hill and Tulse Hill and Sydenham are close too.

  • An unfinished and abandoned construction project in the town of Gogollos Vega, near Granada, Andalucia. All over Spain are building projects like this, left empty and unused, a sig of bad financial investment and land management where empty lots and landscapes have swallowed nature to be replaced by abandoned pavements, roads and superstructures. Here, we see a lone lamppost on the street's kerb, a green waste bin and an overgrown lot where weeds are thriving in this wilderness. In the background is a generic two-storey building left unfinished. As of 2010, it has a population of 2,068 inhabitants.

  • A bright red painted door and matching post box on a country cottage in the village of St Mary Hoo, near Halstow on the Kent Thames estuary marshes, potentially threatened by the future London airport. The village (pop approx 240) of St Mary Hoo might be affected by any furure development for the new transport hub on an unspoilt landscape that could controversially become the site for London's estuary airport, built on reclaimed and marshland on the river Thames, east of the city. Current London mayor Boris Johnson is in faviour of this project to alleviate pressure from other airport hubs, regardless of wildlife (especially a nearby protected bird sanctuary). St Mary Hoo is a village and civil parish in Kent, England. It is on the Hoo Peninsula in the borough of Medway. The first appearance of the name is in 1240

  • Hidden deep in the jungles of Cambodia's Angkor Archaeological Park, Preah Khan is a vast temple complex sprawling across nearly 140 acres. Built by the Khmer king Jayavarman the seventh in the late twelfth century as a monastery and center for learning, it was once the heart of a city of nearly 100,000.<br />
The temple is still largely unrestored: the initial clearing was from 1927 to 1932, and partial anastylosis was carried out in 1939. Since then free-standing statues have been removed for safe-keeping, and there has been further consolidation and restoration work. Throughout, the conservators have attempted to balance restoration and maintenance of the wild condition in which the temple was discovered

  • A coal delivery man deposits chunks of brown coal into the cellar via a conveyor belt for an elderly lady who stands outside in the bitter cold wearing only a housecoat this grim day. Her slippers can be seen standing among fallen briquettes that have dropped on to the wet cobbled street as the man oversees the delivery from a truck that has backed on to the pavement near a junction. A passing Trabant car rattles up the hill past a mother who pauses to ensure a safe crossing for her baby. Aue is a mining town in the Ore Mountains known for its copper, titanium, and kaolinite.

  • Tourist in ruined doorway in Ta Prohm, Angkor temple complex<br />
Unlike most of the temples of Angkor, Ta Prohm has been largely left to the clutches of the living jungle. With its dynamic interaction between nature and man-made art, this atmospheric temple is a favorite for many - who can't help but feel a little like Indiana Jones or Lara Croft (which was filmed here) as they pick through the rubble.<br />
Construction on Ta Prohm began in 1186 AD. Originally known as Rajavihara (Monastery of the King), Ta Prohm was a Buddhist temple dedicated to the mother of King Jayavarman VII.
