It is mid-winter and during a particularly bleak spell of weather in central London where a stall of fruit and vegetables is selling to locals in the street, suppliers' higher prices being reflected in the winter conditions. The label says Concorde, an almond sweet crisp juicy apple, home grown in 1kg polythene bags, produced from Perry Court Farm near Ashford, Kent.

  • Out of control fire creating smoke obscuring the afternoon sun, 14th August 2019, Lagrasse, France. In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels to make electricity is the largest source of heat-trapping pollution, producing about two billion tons of CO2 every year. Coal-burning power plants are by far the biggest polluters. The country’s second-largest source of carbon pollution is the transportation sector.

  • Spectators watch the documentary artwork entitled Incoming by Richard Mosse on giant screens, on 5th March 2017, at the Barbican in the City of London, England. Mosse is a conceptual documentary photographer and Deutsche Börse Photography Prize winner, created an immersive multi-channel video installation in the Curve. In collaboration with composer Ben Frost and cinematographer Trevor Tweeten, Mosse has been working with an advanced new thermographic weapons and border imaging technology that can see beyond 30km, registering a heat signature of relative temperature difference.

  • The £18.2m Millennium Bridge (a Thames crossing linking the City of London at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Tate Modern Gallery at Bankside) was London's newest river crossing for 100-plus years and coincided with the Millennium, it was hurriedly finished and opened to the public on 10 June 2000 when an estimated 100,000 people crossed it to discover the structure oscillated so much that it was forced to close 2 days later. Over the next 18 months designers added dampeners to stop its wobble but it already symbolised what was embarrassing and failing in British pride. Now the British Standard code of bridge loading has been updated to cover the swaying phenomenon, referred to as Synchronous Lateral Excitation. Here a surveyor stands with legs spread peering into a tripod-mounted theodolite to measure its 370 metres (1,214 ft) steel length.

  • On a dark evening in the Welsh countryside eight ventilated hemispherical glasshouses called Solardomes have been 'painted' with gels and with coloured flash strobes while a torch has streaked whiter light in this scientific facility. Replicating climate change and its effects on plant-life, this experiment run by the University of Aberystwyth has run for 20 years, its research being invaluable to our understanding how rising levels of greenhouse gases (CO2) will affect photosynthesis and therefore plant food growth. By increasing the levels of such gasseous pollutants are we now more sure of how the biology in seminatural grasslands alters. Glowing red, the Solardomes sit like futuristic houses on another planet. Surrounding hills are dark on this evening but there is still detail in the fast-fading sky.

  • A landscape of traditional wooden agricultural huts on Polana Chocholowska a hiking route on Dolina Chocholowska in the Tatra National Park, on 17th September 2019, near Zakopane, Malopolska, Poland. Along the distant hill is a forest of spruce trees which have been badly affected by the European spruce beetle. The European spruce beetle Ips typographus is one of 116 bark beetles species in Poland which is killing thousands of spruces. The insects population can grow rapidly via wind and snow etc. which eventually leaves a gap in the landscape, thereby changing the forest floors ecology.

  • A football pitch and empty landscape of snowbound goal posts in wintry public park in south London. During a prolonged cold spell of bad weather, snow fell continuously on the capital on Sunday, allowing families the chance to enjoy the bleak conditions, here in Ruskin Park in the borough of Lambeth. The football goalpost, part of a soccer pitch used by local teams is otherwise unused as the weather forces local games to be cancelled before the grass beneath is again revealed. In the distance are Edwardian period houses beneath 100 year-old ash trees.

  • Standing against strong Autumnal afternoon light, two police officers from an unknown constabulary, guard one entrance to the venue where the Conservative (Tory) Party Conference is being held, at the Bournemouth International Centre that overlooks the sea in Dorset, England. In 1990, the terrorist threat came from Irish Republicans (IRA) rather than Islamist extemists and credible threats proved to be correct, that these idealists wanted to assassinate Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Police cordons were therefore an efficient method of controlling and restricting access to those without the proper delegates' or media accreditation. The most striking figure is the male officer in the foreground whose profile is prominent because of his traditional police helmet.

  • As if about to be crunched underfoot, shattered glass from the windows of offices in the historic City of London side-street, stickers and notices for Access (Mastercard) and American Express (Amex) credit cards lie on the disaster-strewn pavement (sidewalk). This is some of the debris lying about after the huge Bishopsgate bomb on 24th April 1993, London's most expensive terrorist atrocity during the Provisional Irish Republican Army's (IRA) sustained bombings on the British mainland. Buildings up to 500 metres away were damaged, with one and a half million square feet (140,000 sq m) of office space being affected and over 500 tonnes of glass broken. Costs of repairing the damage was estimated at £350 million and was possibly the IRA's most successful military tactic since the start of what was called the Troubles from 1969 onwards.

  • Teddy Boys gather outside a pub in Soho following a 40th anniversary of their infamous march on the BBC to protest that they wanted more rock and roll on the radio, which they recreated today on May 14th 2016 in London, United Kingdom. Teddy Boy, also known as Ted, is a British subculture typified by men wearing clothes that were partly inspired by the styles worn by dandies in the Edwardian period, which tailors had attempted to re-introduce in Britain after World War II. It is sometimes inaccurately written that the Teddy Boy style and phenomenon appeared in Britain during the mid 1950s as a rebellious side effect to the introduction of American RocknRoll music. The Teddy Boy predates this and was a uniquely British phenomenon. The subculture started in London in the early 1950s, and rapidly spread across the UK, then becoming strongly associated with rock and roll. Originally known as Cosh Boys, the name Teddy Boy was coined when a 1953 Daily Express newspaper headline shortened Edwardian to Teddy. The fashion featured tapered trousers, long jackets, fancy waist coats and their hair styled into a quiff.

The exhausted women hangs her neck at the end of a long day serving customers and a model of the male body illustrating the meridians for acupuncture stands in the window alongside the TV and the word Massage Herbs is in red neon lights above the shop window. One of Chinese herbology’s four natures is the degree of yin and yang, namely cold (extreme yin), cool, warm and hot (extreme yang). The patient's internal balance of yin and yang is taken into account when the herbs are selected.
