  • Fishing piers using square nets (known as a Carrelet) overlooking the river Gironde estuary at Talmont-sur-Gironde, Charente-Maritime, France. Dotted along the banks of the Gironde Estuary are countless wooden fishing huts which have been built on stilts. Their main implement is a square-shaped pulley-operated net (or “filet carré”) which has given the humble shacks their name: “carrelets”. Talmont-sur-Gironde is a commune in the Charente-Maritime department in the Poitou-Charentes region, 5 km (9.3 mi) south of Royan, on a small promontory which dominates the Gironde estuary.

  • The Red Arrows, Britain's RAF aerobatic team, perform their public display over a landscape of the Thames estuary mud.<br />
During the annual Southend Air show on the Thames river estuary, the jets of the 'Red Arrows', Britain's Royal Air Force aerobatic team, perform their Corkscrew manoeuvre, a fly-past 100 feet (30m) off the ground. Children playing on the low-tide mud pause from digging holes with a bucket and spade as the aircraft make their way over boating and mudflats. The Red Arrows Hawks perform throughout their calendar of appearances at air shows and fly-pasts across the UK and a few European venues. Since 1965 the squadron have flown over 4,000 shows in 52 countries and are an important part of Britain's summer events where aerobatics aircraft perform their manoeuvres in front of massed crowds.

  • A remote signpost showing the Saxon Shore Way near Halstow on the Kent Thames estuary marshes, potentially threatened by the future London airport. This walking route traverses land that may become part of the development for the new transport hub. With the panoramic views beyond, we see an unspoilt landscape that could controversially become the site for London's estuary airport, built on reclaimed and marshland on the river Thames, east of the city. Current London mayor Boris Johnson is in faviour of this project to alleviate pressure from other airport hubs, regardless of wildlife (especially a nearby protected bird sanctuary).

  • A lone Tornado jet fighter arcs across a typically overcast sky at Southend-on-Sea on a Bank Holiday Sunday. Well-defined figures of children and adults either play nonchalantly on the beach at low tide, or watch in awe as the aircraft thunders over the Thames Estuary mud. A few stranded yachts stand upright in the low water and a groyne stretches out to sea towards the Kent coast, seen in the distance. It is a bleak and depressingly empty scene and the jet is merely a dot in the grey English sky, traditionally familiar summer weather. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • Traditional oyster fishing boats in the Fal Estuary, a method unchanged for 500 years, on 4th October 1994, in Falmouth, Cornwall, England. Oystermen have harvested on the River Fal in the same traditional and highly sustainable fashion, without the use of mechanical power, for more than five hundred years, being widely grown along the whole Cornish coast when the Romans invaded, and by 1602 they were being caught in much the same way as they are today, using thick, strong nets, called dredges. Byelaws banned oyster dredging by mechanical means, forcing local fishermen to rely on wind and tide in purpose-built, sail-powered Falmouth Working Boats. Although most oyster fishermen in Falmouth have other seasonal jobs, for the most experienced and committed fishermen oysters provide a decent year-round livelihood.

  • A detail of freshly-picked English oysters opened using a 'shucker' knife. English Falmouth Estuary oysters have become highly sought-after around European restaurants and we see a freshly-caught specimen still in its shell after being landed from a traditional Falmouth antique working sail boat (fishing without mechanical power is a rule on this local fishery) that still dredge harvested oysters from the river bed using traditional methods unchanged since Victorian times. The fisherman's muddy fingers can be seen lifting (or shuck) the crustacean slightly from the shell with an old oyster knife to display this wild, native Fal oyster which is known for its distinctive sweet, fresh and delicate flavour.

A young couple sits on some white towels in front of a wall that is adorned with graffiti and has its paint rubbed away. It is a scene of squalor and desolation in a town that makes revenue from the day-tripper holiday market. Since Victorian times, many Londoners have traditionally come to this south-east coast on the Thames Estuary, close to the capital. Towns like this have seen a marked decline since the advent of the package tourism in favour of exotic beaches in Spain.
