  • An old man holds a young child near their home in the central region of the Himalayan mountain kingdom of Nepal. We see the dark skin of this working man in a foothill dwelling near the town of Gorkha where the British army traditionally find young men for the Gurkha regiment (as thay have done since 1857). The prospects for the child may mean it will in future try to seek work in the cities like Kathmandu rather than face a lifetime's struggle in local agriculture. Their supplies and contact with the outside world comes up from tracks of boulders and stone along which either men or yaks carry up food for basic survival and luxury goods.

  • Beneath the snow-capped peak of Machapuchare (or Machhaphuchhare), otherwise known as the Fishtail, plus other peaks in this Himalayan Himal landscape, we see a group of Nepali locals chatting on low seats outside a home in the town of Pokhara, Nepal. The friends have a roughly-constructed dwelling that uses breeze bocks and concrete and we see a future attempt to make a first story extension. Machapuchare is revered by the local population as particularly sacred to the god Shiva and is therefore off limits to climbing. It’s at the end of a long spur ridge, coming south out of the main backbone of the Annapurna Himal, that forms the eastern boundary of the Annapurna Sanctuary and the peak is about 25km north of Pokhara, the main town of the region.

  • David Reynolds (aka Eco) is a long-term activist, campaigner in the peace movement and resident of the Faslane Peace Camp, Scotland. His home of three years is called the Earth Shack and is largely re-cycled from scrap and garbage found locally on rubbish tips. Eco leans against his garden fence holding a mug of coffee this chilly Sunday morning. Signs of his political beliefs adorn the place: CND logos and Peace on Earth statements. His mother was a ‘Carnie’ (after the word Carnival, someone working on the fairgrounds) so perhaps it’s from her that he more enjoys an alternative outdoor camping lifestyle after a few years in the army. Faslane Peace Camp is a makeshift site alongside Faslane Naval base where Trident nuclear deterrent missiles and submarines dock. The camp has been occupied continuously, in a few different locations, since 1982.

  • Kinver Edge is home to the last troglodyte dwellings occupied in England, with a set of complete cave-houses excavated into the local sandstone at Kinver, United Kingdom. One of the rocks, ‘Holy Austin’, was a hermitage until the Reformation. The Holy Austin rock houses were inhabited until the 1960s. They are owned by the National Trust and are open for tour. One house has been restored to a Victorian appearance, and the Martindale Caves show what life was like in the 1930s. Kinver Edge is a high heath and woodland escarpment just west of Kinver, and is on the border between Worcestershire and Staffordshire.
