  • The Financial Times in the arm of a central London menswear shop mannequin. With the folded newspaper in the crook of its arm, the model has polished wooden hands and a well-fitted suit and shirt showing both class and luxury with a hint of knowledge and education. The Financial Times (FT) is an English-language international daily newspaper with a special emphasis on business and economic news. The paper, published by Pearson in London, was founded in 1888 by James Sheridan and Horatio Bottomley, and merged with its closest rival, the Financial News (which had been founded in 1884) in 1945.

In the foreground a man in a dark suit has taken off his jacket and is lying down to complete his Financial Times (FT) crossword. Nearby, a lady and man are sitting eating a packed lunch. The City, is the historic financial core of London from which the modern conurbation grew and its one square mile (2.6 km) boundary has remained constant since the Middle Ages.

  • Seen from behind and from a low angle, we see the towering, imposing figure of a City of London Police officer while on duty in Trafalgar Square during England v USA World Cup match. At the half-time pause in the game, the officer stands to watch over this location noted for political protest and sporting celebrations. On this occasion though, there is no large TV screen to avoid social disorder and the City of London Police who usually patrol the capital's old financial district are helping the larger Met Police force during this sporting summer. Seemingly below him, is the 5.5 m (18 ft) statue of Admiral Nelson on its 46 m (151 ft) Foggintor granite column, built between 1840 and 1843 to commemorate the heroic Napoleonic war sailor Horatio Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

  • Alhambra Palace's Patio de Arrayanes (Court of the Myrtles). Patio de los Arrayanes (Court of the Myrtles), also called the Patio de la Alberca (Court of the Blessing or Court of the Pond), from the Arabic birka, "pool". The birka helped to cool the palace and acted as a symbol of power. Because water was usually in short supply, the technology required to keep these pools full was expensive and difficult. The court is 42 m (140 ft) long by 22 m (74 ft) broad, and in the centre there is a large pond set in the marble pavement, full of goldfish. Alhambra (in Arabic, Al-Ḥamra) is a palace and fortress complex constructed during the mid 14th century by the Moorish rulers of the Emirate of Granada in Al-Andalus, occupying the top of the hill of the Assabica on the south-eastern border of the city of Granada in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia.

  • Beyond Edwardian period homes bordering Ruskin Park in south London, the residential skyscraper called St George Wharf Tower rises from the Nine Elms development at Battersea above the foreground houses and 100 year old ash trees in the borough of Lambeth. The tower is 181 metres (594 ft) tall with 49 storeys, the tallest residential building in the United Kingdom. We see a landscape of change, from the era of Edwardian Britain to the twenty-tens, when property is being built for the benefit of the wealthy Londoners and especially, foreign buyers from China and the middle-east who are investing in new flats but who rarely occupy them at the expense of those needing homes.

  • George Rodgers, 63, a Cornish farmer of at least three generations grows giant vegetables on a quarter acre plot. The seed for his cabbages comes from his father and he provides the seed he says for 85 percent of the cabbages at the main Bath and West Show, which he is preparing for now. Giant vegetable growing is not a hobby for the faint hearted. The growers have to tend to the vegetables almost every day (including Christmas) with a commitment varying from  2-3 hours an evening to the most committed spending up to 80 hours a week, tending, nurturing, growing and spending thousands on fertilisers, electricity and green houses.  The reward is to be crowned world record holder of largest, longest or heaviest in class, cabbages weighing in at 100lb, carrots stretching 19 ft and pumpkins tipping the scales at 800lb. it’s a competitive business though and global; some times the record may stand for only hours before a fellow competitor somewhere in the world knocks a grower off the coveted spot.
