  • Discarded mattress on a street in Hackney, London, England, UK. This sort of fly tipping is a common sight all over the city as unwanted or rubbish items are thrown away in public. Left for the council to clear up.

  • The massive IRA bomb in Bishopsgate Street in the heart of the City of London destroyed a substantial number of businesses and disrupted a major part of London's financial hub. In the days after the attack on 24th April 1993, we see the pictorial evacuation of smiling faces in a portrait of Pret a Manger staff, the sandwich and lunch chain (from the French 'Ready to Eat'). The image was hung above the premises and construction workers wearing hard hats transport the picture, like hundreds of other nearby businesses whose workers carried away company property, for temporary safe storage. This store was also badly damaged and had to be transferred to another location. The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. It 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.

  • Sprayed parking notice on the ground in a City of London side street. As a polite message asking taxi drivers not to park on this spot, the unknown person wants this location kept clear between certain hours - something one driver has chosen to ignore because it is a place for cabs to pick up fares beneath the newest of London's skyscrapers, known as the Walkie Talkie in the heart of the capital's financial district aka The Square Mile. The green lines and lettering looks prominent but seems to be ineffective as a means of asking for clear space.

  • In afternoon sunshine, autumn leaves and far away mountains with light cloud on their peaks are viewed from across a clear valley landscape, seen from the roadside near Levidi in Arcadia, between Tripolis and Argos on the Peloponnese region of south-western Greece. At 850m above sea level, pine forests and the slopes of the Mainalo mountains (a mountain range that spans about 15 to 20 from north to south (southwest of Tripolis to NE of Vytina), surrounds the town which lies to the west. The valley contains potato agriculture and mixed farming and extends up to near Kandila. The athlete called Androsthenes was from Maenalus, won gold at the ancient Olympics in 420 and 416 BC.

  • In the mid-day heat, Squadron Leader John Green is a member of the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team. Here he walks out alone to his aircraft, which is lined up with some of the others jets at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus before flying out to Marka in Jordan for the first display of the year. The Red Arrows arrive each April to fine-tune their air show skills in the clear Mediterranean skies and continue their busy display calendar above the skies of the UK and other European show circuit. We see John Green carrying his flight bag and life-vest over his shoulder. He paces confidently across the bright 'apron' dressed in his famous red flying suit that the Red Arrows have made famous since 1965. He is alone and striding confidently towards the matching red eight Hawk airplanes.

  • Fishermen  cling to the rock face as the try pry clear with knives or poles the Spanish delicacy of "Percebes" a highly priced and very expensive gooseneck barnacle that grows only on rocks with heavy surf. There are only a few regions that they can be cultivated, including the Rias Altas region of Galicia. It is a very dangerous occupation as many fishermen are often killed as they get slammed into the rock due to the very heavy tidle waves.

  • A landscape in a London street of street rubbish (garbage) left below a Stella Artois alcohol billboard. A chic man and woman from the sixties (1960s) stand with all the confidence of the style of a previous era with a landscape of the Mediterranean with its azure blue waters. But the reality of 2011 south London is a far removed from the utopia on the ad. Fly tipping has added to the already untidy pavement (sidewalk) also blocking pedestrian access. Wheelie bins and plastic bags of rubbish attract vermin and poor hygiene and the council workmen will soon appear to once again clear away the mess - before another pile appears.

  • A French Dassault-Breguet Mirage military jet interceptor/fighter stands on a pedestal in the Place de la Concorde, Paris during an aviation display weekend along the Champs Elysées. Passers-by seem oblivious to this celebration of French aviation as they walk through the Parisian square, the scene of public executions during the revolution. The Mirage seems to be climbing off its platform and up into the cloudless summer afternoon sky as a young child sits on top of his father's shoulders and passengers in a city bus seem trapped behind the windows. Its is a scene of incongruous moments, a surreal appearance of frightening military technology amid the calm of a public place. 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.

  • High in the Himalayan foothills, dawn arrives on a bitterly cold morning at Poon Hill. Trekkers have gathered at this spot to take in the wonder of this spectacular landscape of snow-capped peaks in the distance. A sherpa has written his name in ice on a rail and western travellers continue their journey higher into the Annapurna range to sample the inner-peace to be discovered here in one of the most dramatic locations on the planet. Villages partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing and also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers walk through tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary circuit, a rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak.

  • High in the Himalayan foothills, dawn arrives on a bitterly cold morning. A traveller has emerged from his rudimentary room on the left of this lodge in Nepal to stand outside staring at the spectacular landscape of snow-capped peaks in the distance. The wind is whipping snow and ice from the peaks of the Annapurna range and trekkers come from all over the world to sample the inner-peace to be discovered here in one of the most dramatic locations on the planet. Villages such as these partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing and also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary circuit, a sometimes rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak.

  • Three silhouetted walkers (two women and one male) near the top of a hill near the village of Churchill, North Somerset, England. The image has only three tones, graduating from dark at the bottom, becoming lighter to the top. It is late in the day and the light is soft and warm in colour and the friends make their way up the gradient in single-file, each striding with legs apart as they climb the hill forming part of the Mendips. It is a scene of tranquillity, the landscape is peaceful and unspoilt for outdoor countryside pursuits like walking, one of the fastest-growing leisure activities in Britain for people who take advantage of rural England.

  • A young Nepali boy is undergoing a recruitment test for the Gurkha Regiment called the Doko race, part of a tough endurance series to find physically perfect specimens for British army infantry training. He has to carry 30kg of river stones in a traditional Himalayan doko (basket) for 3km up foothills within 37 minutes to pass.  60,000 boys aged between 17-22 (or 25 for those educated enough to become clerks or communications specialists) report to designated recruiting stations in the hills each November, most living from altitudes ranging from 4,000-12,000 feet. After initial selection, 7,000 are accepted for further tests from which 700 are sent down here to Pokhara in the shadow of the Himalayas. Only 160 of the best boys succeed in the journey to the UK. The Gurkhas have been supplying youth for the British army since the Indian Mutiny of 1857.

  • Behind railings that honoured American aviator Wilbur Wright at the annual Le Mans air show, France, seven spectators gaze upwards to a clear sky where a lone but unseen aircraft performs in front of the French crowd. Wright made 110 flights at Le Mans and nearby Auvours in 1908 and his legacy for French and global aerospace lives on at events like this where a replica of his Wright Flyer was also exhibited. It is a bright summer's day and the blue sky has vapour trails left by a previous display pilot's jet engine. A prominent British Union Jack flutters on a pole and the words 'invites' (for invited guests only) are printed on to sheets of paper. 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.

  • Ninety year-old Mrs Irene Spurling sits with fingers crossed looking to camera with a mild look of mild bemusement. She is actually familiar with celebrity, having been the secretary to the Australian operatic singer Dame Nellie Melba between 1919-1921. She travelled with the diva in the latter years of her singing career, and in 1993 lived in a nursing home in Winchester, Hampshire England. Irene has clear blue eyes, brushed silver hair and seemingly gnarled, arthritic hands and still wears her wedding ring. Despite her years, she is still active and interested in her surroundings.

  • A mother holds her young son up to show him a paddle steamer on Southend pier in the early nineteen sixties. At the end of the world's longest pier (1 and a quarter miles) the steamer docked for day-trippers to traditionally sail upstream from the Thames estuary at Southend-on-Sea to Gravesend, westward towards London on the River.

  • In a far corner of a caravan site is a dog exercise area, strictly for where pets can be walked on their leads, sniff and meet other animals and allowed to foul the grass as long as owners clear up their mess and deposit it in the dustbin provided on the path. A sign saying Dog Walk has been staked into the ground and clearly indicates the grassy location, avoiding confusion and argument. The countryside is green at this location in Looe in Devon, England, run by the prestigious Caravan Club of Great Britain whose membership stands around 1 million members. People are allowed to bring pets to only certain sites where areas like this are provided and families prefer to bring their dogs on holiday with them rather than pay for kennels.
