  • A young girl holds railings at the site of Brussels' famous landmark, the Mannekin Pis statuette, dressed in red. A red theme appears from the statuette’s costume, the girl’s coat and the No Entry sign. Manneken Pis (literally little man pee in Marols, a dialect spoken in Brussels, also known in French as le Petit Julien), is a famous Brussels landmark. It is a small bronze fountain sculpture depicting a naked little boy urinating into the fountain's basin whose wardrobe consists of several hundred different costumes. It was designed by Jerome Duquesnoy and put in place in 1618 or 1619. It bears a similar cultural significance as Copenhagen's Little Mermaid. The statue is dressed in costume several times each week, according to the published schedule that is posted on the railings around the fountain.

  • Visitors to the ancient site of Stonehenge celebrate the Summer Solstice on the morning of June 21st - the longest day - by dancing in circles while holding hands. The Stonehenge site is a place of pilgrimage for neo-druids and those following pagan or neo-pagan beliefs. The midsummer sunrise began attracting modern visitors in 1870s. Today the stones are owned by English Heritage, the guardians of ancient and historical structures. Most years, substantial police and barriers prevent on-lookers from approaching the stones but on this occasion, revellers were allowed to party long after the early 4.15am sunrise. Stonehenge is a Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monument located near Amesbury in the English county of Wiltshire. Composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones it is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world. Archaeologists think that the standing stones were erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC and served as an outdoor observatory from where to watch the constellations. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986.

  • Cycle locks outside the Uffizi gallery, Florence. Florence has decided to stamp out a tradition which has recently drawn thousands of young lovers to the city's famous Ponte Vecchio bridge. Enamoured couples have been going to the bridge to attach padlocks to a bronze bust and the railings around it. The act is seen as symbolising the 'unbreakable' bonds uniting them.<br />
<br />
The result, according to grumpy council officials, has been a proliferation of unsightly clusters of metal disfiguring the monument to Benvenuto Cellini, one of the city's most famous artistic sons. In the winter of 2011 the council set a team of metal cutters to work removing the 5,500 locks which had accumulated on the railings. Meanwhile, city police have been told to watch over the busy tourist site and to slap a 50-euro fine on anyone who tries to attach a lock. The work of removing the "lucchetti d'amore" took a long time because workmen were battling against a never-ending flow of loving couples who arrived in Florence and made straight for the Ponte Vecchio

  • A lady with Selfridges department store shopping bags stands by old construction oil drum outside Ritz road works. The well-dressed shopper has been to the large American store on nearby Oxford Street and holds her famous yellow bags that are recognised across the country. But rather incongruously is the construction site oil drum that is usually filled with concrete, acting as barriers at road junctions. <br />
H. Gordon Selfridge was born in 1858 in Ripon, Wisconsin, and in 1879 joined Field, Leiter and Company (later to become Marshall Field & Company), where he worked for the famous Chicago retailer. He worked his way up through the firm, married into the prominent Buckingham family, and amassed the fortune with which he built his new London store.

  • Protest campaign against London Borough of Tower Hamlets planning decision to develop the Whitechapel Bell Foundry into a boutique hotel on the 9th November 2019 in East London in the United Kingdom. Whitechapel Bell Foundry closed in June 2017, having cast bells in the East End for almost 450 years. Campaigning with East End Preservation Society, directly petitioning Tower Hamlets Council to preserve the foundry on the grounds of its great historical importance. Operating in Whitechapel from the 1570s — and from its current location since the mid 1740s — the foundry produced world famous bells, including Big Ben, 1858, and the Liberty Bell. Before it shut its doors, Whitechapel was one of two remaining bell foundries in the UK. The site is now owned by property developer, Raycliff, which wants to turn the site into a boutique Hotel.

Federal Hall, built in 1700 as New York's City Hall, later served as the first capitol building of the United States of America under the Constitution, and was the site of George Washington's inauguration as the first President of the United States. It was also where the United States Bill of Rights was introduced in the First Congress. The building was demolished in 1812.

  • This ruined pig farm in the village of Babine in Northern Albania marks the site of a blood feud which has already cost the lives of several people.<br />
<br />
The barn was deliberately built in 1961 on the site of a Sufi mosque by the head of the local communist party, Murat Balia. To add to the humiliation the mullah, Dervish Luska, a famous theologian had his head shaved in front of the village.<br />
<br />
In 1991 after the fall of communism the coop was dissolved and people started to dismantle the buildings. The family of Amathj Mehmed were dismantling the building when it was too much for the old Coop head, Murat Balia, and a gun battle started leaving Murat, his son and the the father of the family dismantling the barn, Amathj Mehmed. The 2 families are now "in blood" and family hounour will result in future killings.

The works are outside a corner shop (store) in the south London district of Waterloo (celebrating the famous battle victory by Wellington over Napoleon in 1815) and the site is half-covered by a barrier that prevents pedestrians from falling down the opened manhole cover on the pavement (sidewalk). The two men force-feed the plastic piping to free whatever is obstructing the route to another site 50 metres down the street. The visual pun of the coiled cabling and the swirls of the Danish pastries make for a humorous scene.

  • The famous Curzon Soho cinema on Shaftesbury avenue in central London. Deep in the heart of Soho, Curzon’s flagship venue has established itself as the country’s busiest art-house cinema. Building on the site of the bombed Shaftesbury Pavilion of 1912, Harold Wingate had planned a sister site to the Curzon in Mayfair, but eventually the cinema was leased to Columbia Pictures and in February 1959 the Columbia Cinema opened with Gigi. Equipped to show 70mm, the cinema was sunk into the basement of a large office block. A generous foyer led down to the 734-seat screen.
