  • A young boy directs his radio-controlled boat on the still waters of the river Thames early in the morning, on 14th July 1999, in Dorchester, England. The River Thames is the second longest river in the United Kingdom and the longest river entirely in England 215 miles or 346 km long. It rises at Thames Head in Gloucestershire, and flows into the North Sea at the Thames Estuary. Historically the Thames was only so-named downstream of the village; upstream it is named the Isis, and Ordnance Survey maps continue to label the river as River Thames or Isis until Dorchester.

  • A motor launch passes a narrow boat with parrot and dog in the early morning on a still River Thames at Dorchester, Oxfordshire. In the foreground is a caged parrot and a small Scotty dog. We see a scene of early misty light across the perfectly still waters, a landscape of peace and tranquillity. The mirror-like surface is at Dorchester-on-Thames, just above the Thame's confluence with the River Thames. The River Thames is the second longest river in the United Kingdom and the longest river entirely in England (215 miles or 346 km long). It rises at Thames Head in Gloucestershire, and flows into the North Sea at the Thames Estuary. Historically the Thames was only so-named downstream of the village; upstream it is named the Isis, and Ordnance Survey maps continue to label the river as "River Thames or Isis" until Dorchester.

  • A four year-old girl plays some sort of religious role-play game - perhaps an angel or the Virgin Mary - but what do see is her age of innocence as she wears an NHS blanket like a shawl over her head and draped over her arms like a Christian icon. Next to her is her 18 month-old baby brother who has learned to drink his warm milk from a plastic bottle, recently coming to like both breast and formula milk. Together they look at something that is interesting out of frame. The viewer looks up at the two siblings from a low angle to see them tall against the corniced ceiling of their South London home.

  • From a hillside overlooking this beautiful and idyllic pastoral landscape, early morning mist spreads across the Vale of Edale, in the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire. Edale is a valley in North Derbyshire, situated about 15 miles west of Sheffield, a loose collection of scattered farmsteads or 'booths' as they are known which grew up around the original shelters or 'boothies' used by shepherds when tending their sheep on the hillsides. There are 5 main ones in Edale valley, Nether Booth, Ollerbooth, Upper Booth, Barber booth and Grindsbrook Booth of which the village called Edale is part. Edale village is in a lovely setting below Kinder Scout and is the start of the Pennine way, the first and longest footpath in England, opened in 1965.

  • Dawn light on the Palaces of Westminster, Britain's parliament building on the far side of Westminster Bridge on the River Thames. It is early morning on the south bank of the river and warm light shines on the Gothic architecture.

It is therefore a potent symbol for British Governmental power, influence and a world-famous landmark for tourists. Big Ben is the name of the clock's bell and not the tower itself.

  • A Brokpa woman washes clothes at the standpipe in the early morning in the remote and roadless village of Merak, Eastern Bhutan. The Brokpa, the semi-nomads of the villages of Merak and Sakteng are said to have migrated to Bhutan a few centuries ago from the Tshona region of Southern Tibet. Thriving on rearing yaks and sheep, the Brokpas have maintained many of their unique traditions and customs. In summer they move to the pastures with their yaks and sheep and in winter they return to live in their houses, normally built of stones with small ventilation to protect from the piercing cold weather.

  • Early morning rubbish overspilling a litter bin in Dorsoduro, a district of Venice, Italy. The detritus of tourism is left from the previous day but soon to be collected by an army of refuse workers who sweep and clean the city's streets before the day's influx of tourists begins once again. On this street corner, we see drinks bottles and general waste on top of an already overflowing bin, above the ad for swimwear brand Calzedonia. Venice attracts 22-million visitors each year (for a city of only about 60,000 residents) while the cultural protection organisation, Italian Nostra, warns that Venice can only accommodate about 33,000 visitors per day but currently at least 60,000 daily.

  • A mahout (handler) eats his breakfast in the early morning whilst waiting to join the procession of elephants at the annual Sayaboury elephant festival, Sayaboury province, Lao PDR. The Elephant Festival is designed to draw the public's attention to the condition of the endangered elephant, whilst acknowledging and celebrating the ancestral tradition of elephant domestication and the way of life chosen by the mahout. <br />
<br />
Originally created by ElefantAsia in 2007, the 3-day elephant festival takes place in February in the province of Sayaboury with over 80,000 local and international people coming together to experience the grand procession of decorated elephants. It is now organised by the provincial government of Sayaboury.<br />
<br />
Laos was once known as the land of a million elephants but now there are fewer than 900 living in the country. Around 470 of them are in captivity, traditionally employed by a lucrative logging industry. Elephants are trained and worked by a mahout (handler) whose relationship to the animal is often described as a marriage and can last a lifetime. But captive elephants are often overworked and exhausted and as a consequence no longer breed. With only two elephants born for every ten that die, the Asian elephant, the sacred national emblem of Laos, is under serious threat of extinction.

  • An early morning misty forest landscape in Phongsaly province, Lao PDR. Phongsaly Province is one of the remotest of the Lao PDR provinces and is dominated by rugged, mountainous terrain and an abundance of thick forests. In the 1950s, forests covered 70 percent of the land area of Laos; but by 1992, according to government estimates, forest coverage had already decreased to just 47 percent. Despite the dwindling forest, timber and other forestry products constitute a valuable supply of potential export goods. The forest has also been an important source of wild foods, herbal medicines and timber for house construction for local people.

Sexby (who also designed Battersea, Ruskin and parts of Southwark Parks). It was opened on 2 February 1907 with an area of 24 acres and in 1910 a further 12 acres were added on the south side of the park. It is named after John Ruskin (1819 – 1900), who lived near to the park. Nowadays, the park is used by families and dog walkers, the bandstand used during warmer months for summer concerts and music events.

  • An early sun rises over the misty surface of the River Thames at Dorchester, Oxfordshire. We see a scene of golden light across the perfectly still waters, a landscape of peace and tranquillity. The mirror-like surface is at Dorchester-on-Thames, just above the Thame's confluence with the River Thames. The River Thames is the second longest river in the United Kingdom and the longest river entirely in England (215 miles or 346 km long). It rises at Thames Head in Gloucestershire, and flows into the North Sea at the Thames Estuary. Historically the Thames was only so-named downstream of the village; upstream it is named the Isis, and Ordnance Survey maps continue to label the river as "River Thames or Isis" until Dorchester.

  • Amid much humour and banter, two meat porters grab hands in Smithfield market during the pre-dawn buying and selling of meat, bought and sold here for 800 years, one of London’s oldest markets. One man’s coat reveals blood stains as he smiles good-naturedly to his fellow worker who is of afro-Caribbean descent. A livestock market occupied the site as early as the 10th century. Approximately 120,000 tons of produce pass through the market each year. As well as meat and poultry, products such as cheese, pies, and other delicatessen goods are available. Buyers including butchers, restaurateurs and caterers are able see the goods for themselves and drive away with what they have bought. Bargaining between buyers and sellers at Smithfield sets the guidelines for meat and poultry prices throughout the UK.

  • A morning walker taking daily exercise strides between ash trees in London's Ruskin Park. As an early sun shines through the summer foliage, the ladt walks at a brisk pace, with a stride long enough to exercise her leg muscles. Ruskin Park is a large and well-used Edwardian-style urban park between Camberwell, Brixton and Herne Hill. The park is named after John Ruskin, the famous artist, writer and social campaigner, who lived nearby from 1823 to 1871.

  • Seen from an office block high vantage point, thousands of commuters pour northwards over London Bridge against the direction of queueing buses and cars. It is a scene about the transient business community and mass transport. The working population arrives early for work over the bridge in the City of London's historic financial district. We see the sunlit faces of those walking towards the viewer which echo the red tail lights of the stationary vehicles. So gridlocked is the traffic on the southbound carriageway, there is a lone cyclist stuck and squeezed between the curb and a double-decker bus. The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England.

  • It is 07.45 on a dark, wintry morning and from behind, we follow a lone commuter who walks along a snow-covered path in Ruskin Park, an otherwise green space in the south London borough of Herne Hill, Lambeth. Street lights are still illuminating the road in the background and the blue light of early morning has fast becoming another day of snow showers and chilly temperatures. No grit or salt has been sprinkled on this slippery path and the person walks carefully carrying an umbrella from falling sleet which is soon to turn to rain as the temperature rises. Tall ash trees whose trunks form an avenue of cover and the commuter proceeds towards their neighbours to the station beyond. A single 4x4 car makes its way through this still quiet street with lights blazing.

  • An early morning commuter makes his way home after his night shift in central London to his home nearby in Herne Hill, SE24 - a distance of approximately 6 miles. Trudging on foot through ever-deepening snow, the showers are still falling as he makes his way along the deserted street.  Street lighting makes this quiet landscape glow orange and we look down the road to see only a few parked cars at the kerbsides and the tracks of a few others that have already driven along. Thousands of snowflakes are fluttering to the ground, settling on this part of London's inner-city - an unusual event - and the  heaviest precipitation for 18 years.

  • Snow showers are falling in a deserted South London street in Herne Hill, London SE24. Snowflakes are falling in large amounts settling on this road and tyre tracks from vehicles have been left in the snow though many parked cars are becoming covered in the snow fall as they sit at the kerbside. Snowflakes are falling in their thousands, settling on this part of London's inner-city - an unusual event - and the  heaviest precipitation for 18 years. It is early morning and still dark and street lights are making the landscape orange before the blue of dawn changes the colour and the atmosphere.

  • A P4 bus service destination Lewisham Station climbs Herne Hill early after fresh overnight snowfall in the south London area. During a mid-winter morning, when commuters are struggling to reach their work places, the capital also finds it hard for transport and infrastructure to keep running as normal. With its headlights on half-beam, the snow is still making this hill treacherous to climb as this heavy vehicle again starts from the bus stop, having lost its traction on the slippery road surface. A passenger alights, carefully stepping down from the bus onto the snowy kerb as other people walk uphill, preferring to make their own way. The snow rests on surrounding Victorian house roofs and in the distance; it is a bleak day in the misty urban light where high-rise flats (apartments) can be seen.

  • With his body in shade and only his head in the sun, a Portuguese man stands in the street of central Lisbon to read the headlines of national and provincial newspapers which are pinned by their top right corners for passers-by to glance at or buy. Lit by early morning sun, the daily or weekly periodicals are set in a neat row for the benefit of this man and other citizens of the Portuguese capital. Ornate square tile mosaics are set in the pavement (sidewalk) in a design style that Lisbon is well-known for. In an age of mass-communications, reading one's media on paper in such a manner already seems old fashioned.

  • A seller of flowers stands looking down a street in the Polish capital, Warsaw. Holding a single bouquet, the elderly man has located himself on the corner of Zapiecek Street (Zapiecek means place behind the stove) awaiting a buyer. With his hand on one hip, he has laid more yellow and red flowers that he has probably grown himself and is trying to make a meagre living from. But there are few people on this street this early in the oldest part of Warsaw and the walls appear to be damp, with discoloured plaster after decades of decay under a Communist government. Old paving slabs on the pavement and a cobbled road give a sense of history and wartime destruction for these streets saw many atrocities during the German occupation in WW2. This is a scene of pessimism and poverty yet with a small degree of hope in the fresh flowers.

  • An Italian commuter cycles on her bike across the central arches of the Ponte Vecchio over the River Arno in Florence. It is early on an autumnal morning and only two figures are seen but within a few hours this world famous tourist landmark will be teeming with visitors from around the world, their international languages heard across this location. In the background we see the still waters of the Arno and riverside buildings including the Uffizi on the left. The Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge") is a Medieval bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewellers, art dealers and souvenir sellers.

  • Seen from the roof, we see an aerial perspective of an early morning swim for many south London locals as they bathe in the unheated pool of  the Grade II listed  Brockwell (Brixton) Lido in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill. The Lido is a magnet, an oasis, for city dwellers to escape, if only for an hour from the pressures of fast urban life. Many enjoy the benefits of outdoor bathing and the friendship of meeting old friends. In the centre, a mother helps her young daughter up from the cool morning water before another hot day in August. Brockwell Lido is a large, open air swimming pool in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London. It opened in July 1937, closed in 1990 and after a local campaign was re-opened in 1994.

  • The legs of a young girl appear on an ad billboard, echoing two of the chimneys of Battersea Power Station. It is early morning in this part of south London that is soon to be redeveloped to accommodate the New US Embassy at Nine Elms. But here we see the kids’ fashion advertisement juxtaposed with the post-industrial structure that has been a famous London landmark since the 1930s. Battersea was once a coal-fired power station providing the well known, four chimney layout. The station was decommissioned from generating electricity in 1983 but used in The Beatles' 1965 movie Help! and on the cover of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals.

  • Dawn light and silhouetted people with the Palaces of Westminster, Britain's parliament building on the far side of Westminster Bridge on the River Thames. Sinister figures can be seen on the steps leading down to the Embankment on the Southbank and on the bridge too.  It is early morning on the south bank of the river and warm light shines on the Gothic architecture. The Palace, also known as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, is where the two Houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (the House of Lords and the House of Commons) conduct their business. It is therefore a potent symbol for British Governmental power, influence and a world-famous landmark for tourists. Big Ben is the name of the clock's bell and not the tower itself.
