  • A portrait of the Australian born Oxford University veteran rower James Ditzell, at 45 currently the oldest ever rower in the history of the boat race. He trains with the rest of his squad on the Thames from Putney in West London under race conditions, hoping that as race day (April 6th 2012), his times are good enough for a seat in one of two of Oxford boats. First raced in 1829 the boat race between Oxford and Cambridge unbiversities is one of the oldest sporting events in the world. It is nowadays watched by thousands along the banks of The Thames Tideway, between Putney and Mortlake in London and by millions more on TV around the world.

  • A detail of an ill-fated Comet airliner door now confined to the ground at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford, England. Peeling paint and a make-shift padlock shows this museum piece's age and exposure to the outside elements. A year after entering commercial service the Comets began suffering problems, with three of them breaking up during mid-flight in well-publicised accidents. This was later found to be due to catastrophic metal fatigue, not well understood at the time, in the airframes. The Comet was withdrawn from service and extensively tested to discover the cause; the first incident had been incorrectly blamed on adverse weather.

  • A portrait of Sir Winston Churchill is propped up in a shop window display during celebrations for wartime during 50th anniversary celebrations of wartime VE day. The whole country celebrated the 50th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day on 6th May 1995. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany and peace was announced to tumultuous crowds across European cities, the British still go out of their way to honour those sacrificed and the realisation that peace was once again achieved. Street parties now – as they did in 1945 – played a large part in the country’s patriotic well-being.

  • The field of stelae of the outdoor Holocaust Memorial, a reminder of Jewish persecution and anti-Semitism in Europe during the second world war. U.S. architect Peter Eisenman's controversial design was chosen as a fitting tribute to the Jews that died before and during World War II as part of Hitler's plan to exterminate them. Eisenman's design is quite unique and has drawn both praise and criticism. Occupying about 205,000 square feet (19,000 square meters) of space near the Brandenburg Gate and just a short distance from where the ruins of Hitler's bunker is buried, the Berlin Holocaust Memorial is made up of 2,711 gray stone slabs that bear no markings, such as names or dates. It is estimated that the Nazis used these camps to kill an estimated 11 million people.

  • An exhibition panel in the Holocaust museum and memorial, showing only some of the 500 Nazi concentration and labour camps, ghettos and the sites of mass shootings across Europe and Africa during the second world war. At first, these concentrations camps were meant to hold political prisoners; however, by the beginning of World War II, these concentration camps had transformed and expanded in order to house vast numbers of non-political prisoners whom the Nazis exploited through forced labor. Many concentration camp prisoners died from the horrible living conditions or from being literally worked to death. It is estimated that the Nazis used these camps to kill an estimated 11 million people.

He is wearing a flat cap with trousers (pants)  tucked in his socks for his next bicycle journey. He is a quintissentially English sunbather enjoying a quiet snooze in a public park open space.

  • Grabbing a quiet few moments in an otherwise busy environment, two people lie in long grass near the tall Canary Wharf tower structure a mile away in the background at Dockland's area of East London. On the grassy bank at Mudchute, a city farm on London's Isle of Dogs, England, the two people have been joined on this war summer afternoon by a small goat who is making its way along, munching at the lush vegetation. It is a seemingly rural location but is, in fact, an area of inner-city London, close to major construction projects, transforming Docklands into a major centre for finance and new housing.

  • With dozens of deck chairs behind him, a sleeping middle-aged man lies bare-chested with a flat cap on his head and with his socks on as all Englishmen tend to do during a summer heat wave. He has chosen a spot in a near-empty Hyde Park in central London - an oasis of calm  amid a bustling city – where a seat in a striped deck chair can be rented for a few Pounds for the day and one can snooze topless without being bothered and one’s stresses of daily life can be momentarily forgotten. With one hand resting on his leg, the other reaches down to hold on to his shoulder bag which is in the shade on the short grass.

  • A lone sleeping passenger rests on a bench in an otherwise peaceful corner of Gatwick airport in England. Having chosen a quiet location in the terminal, near  departure number gate 44, there is enough space to stretch out and grab some valuable sleep. Jet lag, medically referred to as desynchronosis, is a physiological condition which results from alterations to the body's circadian rhythms resulting from rapid long-distance transmeridian (east–west or west–east) travel on a (typically jet) aircraft. It was previously classified as one of the circadian rhythm sleep disorders.

  • Snatching a well-earned lunchtime snooze, two young office workers in Trinity Park in the City of London. The young man on the left has his arms folded across his chest, his dark pinstripe suit apparently a little warm on this fine day. To his left is another youngish gentleman who looks less formal: his jacket opened and his tie crooked while his open mouth might emit snores in this public space. The bench which is owned by the Corporation of London has pigeon droppings on the back and arm rest but these two tired people care less about animal hygiene than the chance to steal a few precious minutes sleep before re-entering their office buildings and returning to desks.

  • A flight nurse examines a lady from the Native American Reserve at San Carlos, Arizona, from where she is to be taken from the rural Arizona airstrip by  twin-propeller powered aircraft, an air ambulance, to hospital for treatment. The San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation, in southeastern Arizona, United States, was established in 1872 as a reservation for the Chiricahua Apache tribe. It was referred to by some as "Hell's Forty Acres," due to a myriad of dismal health and environmental conditions. The San Carlos Reservation is one of the poorest Native American communities in the United States, with an annual median household income of approximately $14,000 in 2000, according to the US Census. About 60% of the people live under the poverty line, and 68% of the active labor force is unemployed
