  • Seen through a fisheye lens, we see an aerial view of the city of Florence (Firenze) as a lady tourist surveys the urban landscape using a tourist map. She has climbed the 84.7 meters (277.9 ft) high Gioto's Belltower (or campanile) of Duomo Cathedral. Due to the nature of the extreme-wide lens, the curvature of the horizon makes a global sort of perspective. Far below are the tiled rooftops of this Italian city's housing and properties and further into the distance are the green fields of Tuscany. On the marble ledge that is unguarded against accidental or intentional leaps, there is the graffiti of world tourism. The languages of world youth are written on this Renaissance building. The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is the cathedral church (Duomo), begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to designs of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436

  • A woman searches at the bottom of her bag in front of an office foyer window in the City of London, the capital's financial district and oldest quarter. As if forgetful, the lady puts her hand deep into the bag and fishes around for whatever item is missing. With her phone in one hand and standing in autumn sunshine, she is near the corporate floor space in Threadneedle Street, near the Bank of England. Reflected light stretches into the otherwise shadowy recess of the building where visitors seating is carefully positioned.

  • Tourists finding their way around London's Soho and the West End seek help with a large city map. A middle-aged tourist couple have stopped during their exhausting tour of London on foot, pausing to consult the large-scale plan of the capital's streets where landmarks, shops and the river Thames in context are shown as places of interest. Standing near the image of the map, there is also a circle denoting the radius of a 5-minute walk from this location in Leicester Square. The round line appears to encircle their upper bodies in a humorous scene of tourism and discovery, of adventures in the metropolis and of the facilities that Westminster council provide for their visitors.

  • Three-card Monte (also known as Find the Lady or the Three-card Trick) is a confidence game in which the victim, or mark, is tricked into betting a sum of money, on the assumption that they can find the ball underneath one of the cups. In its full form, Three-card Monte is an example of a classic "short con" in which a shill pretends to conspire with the mark to cheat the dealer, while in fact conspiring with the dealer to cheat the mark. This confidence trick was already in use by the turn of the 15th century.

  • A kind stranger picks-up a hat belonging to another pedestrian by a construction hoarding, a night time panorama of the Thames south bank, featuring the HQ of the intelligence service (MI6) and adjacent apartments across the river in Vauxhall. Under the gaze of a CCTV camera, the gentleman retrieves the item for another (unseen) person as his friend points to alert its owner. <br />
The temporary hoarding will stay in place for the time that the company's new residential riverfront apartments are under construction. In the image, the building at Vauxhall Cross, is located at 85 Albert Embankment beside Vauxhall Bridge. It is known within the intelligence community as "Legoland" and "Babylon-on-Thames".

  • Families examine a map of the Hong Kong region, with outlying islands and Mainland Chinese territories. An older family member (probably the grandfather) points to his grandchildren various locations including Kowloon where they may live within the territorial limits of the ex-British colony. This scene is still 2 years before the British Handover to China and each place is written in English first then Chinese characters beneath, a sign that Britain still ruled administratively. The granddad’s memories of British rule before the Handover will remind those of the 99-year lease that China offered the British and which ended in July 1997.

  • A toilet sign sits near the standing Doric columns and tourists at Olympia's Palaestra or wrestling school. Here, training, instruction and bathing took place in the month before the Games. The 29th modern Olympic circus came home to Greece in 2004 and the birthplace of athletics, amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past.

In harsh sunlight the girls role-play at mothering, a gender conditioning that all children discover and these females are finding it natural to act as parents at such a young age. An antique doll sits looking in our direction, dressed in frilly clothes and all around is Chinese laquered furniture and other kids' toys like a hobby horse and a trike. At Place du Jeu de Balle Flea Market, you can find an extraordinary mix of household items, vintage clothes, crockery and furniture. This market is open daily from 6am to 2pm and is in the heart of the “Marolles” district, a working-class neighbourhood that was built in the 17th century.

  • A young Laoseng ethnic minority girl prepares river weed collected from the Nam Ou river, Ban Moungava, Phongsaly province, Lao PDR. For families living away from the main roads and markets, food caught or collected from the wild, especially edible plants and small animals still make up fifty per cent of their diet.  Nature’s bounty in providing for the Lao may be plentiful, but this does not mean that the task of growing and finding enough food for family subsistence and maintenance is easy. It is a major preoccupation of rural families and takes the bulk of time and energy of every man, woman and child.

  • A camouflaged British infantry soldier is seen down the telescopic sight of the new British-made Long Range L115A3 sniper rifle on Salisbury Plain, Warminster, England. Sniping means concealment, observation and assassination, a strategy the British are using more against the Taliban in Afghanistan. Swiss Lapua .338 inch rounds (8.59mm) travel at sub-sonic speeds of 936 metres/sec, finding its target accurately up to 1,100 metres.

  • Wearing a peaked cap and small rucksack, a young adventurer, scales a giant boulder in the ancient forest of Monbachtal Bach in Germany's Black Forest. Stretching to climb the rock, the lad of 10 uses his hand and walking stick to balance as he puts a boot higher to gain a sure footing. There is ample covering of moss and lichen on the primeval landscape making it hazardous to conquer but the boy has the stamina to get to the top and continue his walk through this beautiful wilderness. The boy is alone in the picture though accompanied by his family but he seems to mange on his own, capable of finding his own limits of endurance and confidence. Geologically, the Black Forest consists of a cover of sandstone on top of a core of gneiss. During the last glacial period, the Würm glaciation, the Black Forest was covered by glaciers.

  • An RAF Air Chief Marshal helps a Royal Navy Vice Admiral just before he bangs his head under a new Eurofighter's (Typhoon) wing. It is the maiden flight of this now iconic jet fighter constructed by a consortium of European countries and manufacturers. The navy man is used to finding his way around a ship or low-ceiling submarine but obviously needs a helping hand while under the wing of this aircraft. The Royal Air Force officer wearing full dress uniform complete with gold braid holds the other’s head on which rests his white Navy hat, also with gold insignia that denotes his senior rank.

  • Redcoat asleep on the lobby floor of Butlins holiday camp, Skegness. The idea for the Red Coats came to Butlin early on in the Skegness Camps first season. He saw the first campers walking around looking bored and not making full use of the facilities. They had come to the camp looking for companionship and were not finding it. One of his assistants, Norman Bradford, started to jolly up proceedings by telling a few jokes to the campers assembled in the dining room. Butlin thought this was a good idea and the next day asked his colleague to go out and buy a distinctively coloured blazer - he did, in blue, primrose yellow and white, the camp colours. Butlin was not convinced and asked him instead to buy a red blazer. The Red Coats were then born. Butlins Skegness is a holiday camp located in Ingoldmells near Skegness in Lincolnshire. Sir William Butlin conceived of its creation based on his experiences at a Canadian summer camp in his youth and by observation of the actions of other holiday accommodation providers, both in seaside resort lodging houses and in earlier smaller holiday camps.
