  • Warning sign of risk on the western slope of Vesuvius with the urban sprawl of Naples in the distance. The national emergency plan to protect the inhabitants from a possible eruption of the Vesuvius area has as its baseline the explosive event of 1631. Drafted by the scientific community has identified three areas with different hazard defined: the red zone, yellow zone and the blue zone. The red zone is the area immediately surrounding the volcano, and is in greater danger as potentially subject to invasion by pyroclastic flows, From the Introduction page of the book 'Risk Wise: Nine Everyday Adventures' by Polly Morland (Allianz, The School of Life, Profile Books, 2014).

  • As the wake from a ship foams behind the vessel, a young girl stands on some railings of a cross-Channel ferry that is sailing between Dover in England and Calais in France. Holidaymakers take their vehicles to continental Europe and foot passengers go on foot. The child stands and grips the rails as the sea is left disturbed by the boat’s propellers. It’s not a safe place for a young person to stand, so near the edge of the ship and the water below. She looks at the sea and imagines her holiday adventure that is beginning. People do fall overboard on these voyages and children need to be supervised so close to danger.

  • Danger warning sign for the high radio frequency radiation levels near the arials, 27th May 1997, on Ascension, a small area of approximately 88 km² isolated volcanic island in the equatorial waters of the South Atlantic Ocean, roughly midway between the horn of South America and Africa. It is governed as part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. Organised settlement of Ascension Island began in 1815, when the British garrisoned it as a precaution after imprisoning Napoleon I on Saint Helena. In January 2016 the UK Government announced that an area around Ascension Island was to become a huge marine reserve, to protect its varied and unique ecosystem, including some of the largest marlin in the world, large populations of green turtle, and the islands own species of frigate bird. With an area of 234,291 square kilometres 90,460 sq mi, slightly more than half of the reserve will be closed to fishing.

A sign telling driving parents not to park alongside one of the the school entrances, making it dangerous for youngsters but making an ironical statement about the incident. The former pre-school structure was eventually gutted after several fire tenders arrived to douse the flames which had already taken hold of the prefabricated structure. Bessemer Grange junior school and the current nursery occupies a location across the road and is on the former site of Victorian iron magnate, Henry Bessemer's mansion.

  • Plant life growing in lava rock on slopes of dormant Vesuvius volcano, near Naples, Italy. 70 years after the last major eruption in 1944, nature reclaims the landscape with fragile yet resilient plant life. From the chapter entitled 'Under the Volcano' and from the book 'Risk Wise: Nine Everyday Adventures' by Polly Morland (Allianz, The School of Life, Profile Books, 2014). "There would be no modern precedent for an evacuation of this magnitude," says Giuseppe Mastrolorenzo at the Vesuvius Volcano Observatory in Naples. "This is why Vesuvius is the most dangerous volcano in the world."

  • Ignoring a red pedestrian light, a schoolboy dashes out into commuter traffic at dawn on a foggy morning in south London. Despite the dangers of negotiating a busy road, the lad runs off the pavement and into the path of the oncoming cars. It is dawn at around 8.45 on this winter morning, a dark and miserable time of day in this south London suburb from where Londoners start their journeys north into the City. Cars and trucks wait for the lights to change, their headlights shining in the dispersing fog on Denmark Hill.

  • A sign warning passers-by of chemical and biological landfill dangers on property owned by Waste Management, Offham, Kent. The sign has been placed on a wooden fence on private land at the side of a village road in this rural area of southern England.

Places like Offham were chosen for London’s rubbish and for many years gigantic ARC lorries left London for the villages in order to fill the quarries with metropolitan waste.

‘I opened up the Chadri (mesh front of the burkha) to see a tea-cup and suddenly from the back, a Taliban soldier came with a big stick, shouting at me. If you get beaten by a Taliban, you could die. <br />
“I made myself look as old and bad as possible because if  they ( the Taliban) saw you looking even a bit beautiful, they could come to your house and take you as one of their wives”<br />
<br />
“For me having money is dangerous, kidnapping is a big problem. A friend’s uncle was kidnapped; they wanted $150 000, He was so mad he said, ‘I am not paying that he is an old man!’  Eventually they dropped the price and said OK, just cover our fuel and the bribe for the police (30 000 dollars)."

  • As blue light fades on a bitterly cold winter's evening, the barrier of an Austrian level-crossing has been lowered to stop traffic and allow a high-speed ICE-T train to continue on its route through, near Salzburg, Austria, Europe. OBB, the Austrian Federal Railways operate a network of 5,683 km makes them the by far largest railway-company in this country. Heavy snow has fallen in this region of the Alps and deposits have settled on the fences and the glowing red stop traffic light, signalling for motorists to halt at this dangerous road-crossing location. So fast is this mode of transport, it blurs past this cold, desolate spot where only one nearby house is next to the trackside. (From a story about travelling through 6 European countries by coach in 7 days).

  • A life belt hangs on a cross-shaped post, all painted a vivid red as the sun sinks down below the horizon and beyond the historic Bamburgh Castle, in Northumberland, northern England. Lit with a strong off-camera flash we see the slightly blurred device, invented for saving lives at sea, with a ghostly corona around its form, against a fading blue sky. The rope dangles near the ground, around which the grasses of the dunes blow in a faint breeze. Only the foreground is lit by the flash and the distant castle building and shoreline. We see such equipment and imagine safety and rescue and also jeopardy and hazards at sea. Supplied for those taking risks and making stupid decisions makes these items essential on coastal areas.
