  • Undressed female mannequins, awaiting latest clothing show body forms and proportions in a central London street. As proof of how the fashion and retail industries see the perfect woman's form, we see a skinnier look, the proportions of a curvy rather than a rounded female shape. Womens' groups however see this as unrepresentative, undermining how women see themselves portrayed accurately in the shop window and therefore in everyday life.

  • An aerial view of a mid-winter landscape of local railway tracks in Dulwich, south London. Stretching into the distance up the line, we see the empty scene without people and more especially - no trains. Routes in this area of Southwark have again been disrupted, with services cancelled leaving commuters on cold platforms. The snow is neither deep nor drifting but London again seems to have been caught with infrastructure unable to cope with poor weather conditions.

  • A spectator at the Royal Windsor horse trials, sita on the grass with her pet whippet dog, between competitors as they gallop across country in this west London space near Windsor Castle. The dog stretches out with tail wagging, its owners sat with an open competition listing. Alongside, an elderly lady rests on a shooting seat. Whippets in the UK are a medium-size dog averaging in weight from 15 to 30 lb (6.8–14 kg), with height (under the FCI standard) of 18.5 - 20 inches (47 - 51 cm) for males and 17.5–18.5 inches (44–47 cm) for females. Whippets are generally quiet and gentle dogs, and may be content to spend much of the day resting. After a chance to run about and let off steam, they are happy to become couch-potatoes. They are loyal and friendly. Because of this, whippets are known to have been used in aged care facilities.

  • Chinese worker Ah Ty heats the tea leaves in a wok, stirring by hand, Ban Komaen, Phongsaly province, Lao PDR. The leaves are then spread out on a bamboo platter and crushed by rolling them. They are then left to dry in the fresh air. To make the tea cigars, the dried leaves are steam heated and stuffed into a hollow bamboo stick which is 20 to 30 cm long. After cooling down, the leaves are taken out and are in a cigar shape which is then bound with a bamboo band.

  • An ostrich chick stands alone in a private pen, beneath a heat lamp at the ostrich farm belonging to Robert and Nina Bailey near Chepstow, Wales. The reddish glow from the heat source concentrates life-giving energy into the young bird, helping it survive the first three months after hatching. Rearing these birds is a specialist and very expensive business but Ostrich meat is a South African delicacy, used for Biltong. Nutritionists promote it as a more healthy alternative because it is higher in protein and lower in fat and cholesterol. An ostrich lays an egg every other day, of which 40 to 80% are fertile. In the wild there is a 95% failure rate but using an incubator like this almost guarantees total success. Its latin name, 'Struthio camelus', is the largest of living birds with some males reaching a height of 8 ft (244 cm) and weighing 200 to 300 lb (90-135 kg). In the wild, the polygamous male has from two to six females in his flock. The cock scoops out a hollow for the eggs, which weigh nearly 3 lb (1.35 kg) each. One of the females incubates the eggs during the day, and the cock takes over at night. On the savannah they can run at 40mph (64 kph) for 10 hours though their top speed can reach 80mph. During the 19th-century vogue for ostrich plumes, farms were established in South Africa and later in North America, Australia, and Europe; after World War I fashions changed and the industry collapsed.

  • Tourists admire Aphrodite, otherwise known as the Venus de Milo in the Louvre art museum. The ancient Greek statue is one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture, created sometime between 130 and 100 BC. The Aphrodite (Greek goddess of love and beauty  and Venus to the Romans) is a marble sculpture, slightly larger than life size at 203 cm high. The arms and original plinth were lost following the discovery. From an inscription that was on its plinth, it is thought to be the work of Alexandros of Antioch; earlier, it was mistakenly attributed to the master sculptor Praxiteles. The Musée du Louvre is one of the world's largest museums and the most visited art museum in the world.

  • Street art of a character wearing a Jpy Division t-shirt in the East End of London is an ever changing visual enigma, as the artworks constantly change, as councils clean some walls or new works go up in place of others. While some consider this vandalism or graffiti, these artworks are very popular among local people and visitors alike, as a sense of poignancy remains in the work, many of which have subtle messages.
