  • Seen through a fisheye lens, we see an aerial view of the city of Florence (Firenze) as a lady tourist surveys the urban landscape using a tourist map. She has climbed the 84.7 meters (277.9 ft) high Gioto's Belltower (or campanile) of Duomo Cathedral. Due to the nature of the extreme-wide lens, the curvature of the horizon makes a global sort of perspective. Far below are the tiled rooftops of this Italian city's housing and properties and further into the distance are the green fields of Tuscany. On the marble ledge that is unguarded against accidental or intentional leaps, there is the graffiti of world tourism. The languages of world youth are written on this Renaissance building. The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is the cathedral church (Duomo), begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to designs of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436

  • In mid-flight over Greater London, we see a passenger’s view of a turning airliner's wing and the capital's dusk landscape below at a low altitude. As the starboard (right) wing dips, the Virgin Atlantic Airbus banks and a long exposure blurs the city lights below. A small curved portion of the passenger window, red engines and the Union Jack colours are seen. As aerodynamic design, the flying machine is a perfect gesture towards the conquest of flight, copied from the characteristics of a bird’s anatomy. As art, the mere beauty of taking to the air and maintaining level, organised speed is so routine, we rarely look our from our window to marvel at how and why. 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.

  • An original Victorian shopping arcade in the seaside resort town of Great Yarmouth on the English east coast. Daylight floods in through overhead skylight roof glass  as shoppers walk past local ladies fashion displays seen behind beautiful curved windows, in the style of late 19th century. Tiles flooring acts as a pavement to resembled an upper-class covered street to keep visitors dry from frequent coastal showers. The shops are local too - without branded chains occupying the site and forcing hardship on local businesses.
