  • A detail of rotting vegetables in a garden compost bin. A detail of organic vegetable and fruit matter decomposing inside a home garden composting bin. We look down on to the natural waste as a close-up of the vegetables and fruit scraps that have been thrown away by a city householder in south London. Local authorities encourage the use of compost bins in back gardens (yards) and the proliferation of these efficient containers mean that their residue can be returned to the soil without the expense of transport to landfill. The rotting matter of carrot skins etc. will eventually become a nutritious feed for new plants - and so the cycle goes on.

  • A detail of ancient archaeology in the British Museum: An Assyrian formal scene, of about 865-860 BC from the ancient city of Nimrud. In one scene the king appears as conqueror with bow and arrows, flanked by guman attendants but here, we see a detail of a hand holding a purse-like bag, the arm adorned with jewellery on the wrist. Neo-Aramaic writing can be seen at the bottom of this scene depicting royal life. Assyrian kings competed to outdo each other with carved reliefs on interior walls. This tradition began with King Ashurnasirpal II (reigned 883-859BC) at Nimrud. Nimrud is the later Arab name for the ancient Assyrian city originally known as Kalhu, located 30 kilometres (20 mi) south of the city of Mosul, and 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of the village of Selamiyah in the Nineveh plains in northern Mesopotamia.

  • A stone wall detail at the Old Smithy, Pennyghael, Isle of Mull, Scotland. In a close-up view, we see the tight fitting stones interlocked to provide strength as well as security for this domestic property. Their are few weeds telling us the wall is well-maintained and it is likely that only local materials have been used in this and other buildings. The origins of building in dry stone, i.e. without the use of mortar, are lost in the mists of antiquity. The use of stone in various builds such as funeral chambers and living accommodation date from the Stone and Iron Ages. Regional styles and patterns of construction do vary throughout the country but the principles of construction established thousands of years ago are still practiced to this day. Regrettably, there is little written historical record of those who practiced the craft in the early days.
