The Grand Place is Brussels’ main city square, the focal point for colourful events throughout the year. Its Dutch-styled gabled guildhalls date from the 13th century and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

  • Stained glass images of important historic medieval figures from the City of London's history, seen in the Guildhall. From over the centuries of London history, these figures were the city fathers, those who controlled on Britain's trade and maintained its position as a major trading port - from earliest medieval times to the modern era. The Guildhall is a building in the City of London, off Gresham and Basinghall streets, in the wards of Bassishaw and Cheap. It has been used as a town hall for several hundred years, and is still the ceremonial and administrative centre of the City of London and its Corporation.

  • Shop owner writes a reduced price on an upright mirror with bright furniture on sale in a London street.A shop owner writes a reduced price on an upright mirror with bright furniture on sale in a London street. Writing on the glass with a marker pen the man has decided to tell us the original price of this item was #250 and he writes down a new, reduced value of #170, making us believe there are massive savings to be had on this home furnishing. Behind him is a garish pink sofa chair that was made in Egypt and imported to the UK capital where it and other pieces sit in bright sunshine, their colours looking tacky and cheap.

  • A coastal landscape of St. Cuthberts Island on Holy Island and in the distance, left, the St. Marys church and the remains of the early 12th century Lindisfarne Priory, on 27th September 2017, on Lindisfarne Island, Northumberland, England. Cuthbert c. 634 - 687 is a saint of the early Northumbrian church in the Celtic tradition. He was a monk, bishop and hermit, associated with the monasteries of Melrose and Lindisfarne in what might loosely be termed the Kingdom of Northumbria in the North East of England and the South East of Scotland. After his death he became one of the most important medieval saints of Northern England, with a cult centred on his tomb at Durham Cathedral. Cuthbert is regarded as the patron saint of Northern England. The Holy Island of Lindisfarne, also known simply as Holy Island, is an island off the northeast coast of England. Holy Island has a recorded history from the 6th century AD; it was an important centre of Celtic and Anglo-saxon Christianity. After the Viking invasions and the Norman conquest of England, a priory was reestablished.

  • A curator hangs an unknown art canvas painting on a gallery wall in the Royal Academy (RA) for its 'The Glory of Venice: Art in the Eighteenth Century' exhibition, a collection of important works of art by Italian artists such as Tiepolo, Canaletto, Piranesi, Piazzetta, and Guardi. In the privacy of the closed gallery, the official from the RA is carefully aligning the artwork and ensuring it is straight and presentable days before the general public is allowed to see these renaissance art treasures. Polished wooden parquet flooring is protected by blocks that support the weight of each work of priceless art and crates containing other paintings imported from their Italian owners await opening and hanging themselves.

  • We look through the windscreen of a Royal Air Force C-130-J Hercules to see a pilots-eye view of his fixed head-up-display (HUD), while in flight over Hampshire during the Farnborough Air Show. We see the aircraft flying data in green set against the magenta colour (color) of the clouds and sky beyond. The pilot will see the statistics that are important aspects of his aeroplane's altitude, compass heading, localiser, air speed, pitch, roll and yaw. Head-up displays are increasingly important to military and commercial aircraft (airplanes) when information can be displayed without obstructing the user's front view front. The second type of HUD is mounted within a protective helmet visor. The C-130 Hercules primarily performs the tactical portion of airlift operations. The aircraft is capable of operating from rough, dirt strips and is the prime transport for air dropping troops and equipment into hostile areas. The C-130-J is the newer generation digital version with fully integrated digital avionics; color multifunctional liquid crystal displays including the HUD; state-of-the-art navigation systems with dual inertial navigation system and global positioning system; fully integrated defensive systems; low-power color radar; digital moving map display; new turboprop engines with six-bladed, all-composite propellers; digital auto pilot; improved fuel, environmental and ice-protection systems; and an enhanced cargo-handling system.

  • A curator inspects art canvasses leaning against gallery walls in the Royal Academy (RA) for its 'The Glory of Venice: Art in the Eighteenth Century' exhibition, a collection of important works of art by Italian artists such as Tiepolo, Canaletto, Piranesi, Piazzetta, and Guardi. In the privacy of the closed gallery, a lady official from the RA is bending down, resting her hands on knees and scrutinizing for possible damage after their removal from travel packing crates, whilst on the floor before hanging for public view. We see the largest picture on the right (Luca Carlevaris, The Bucintore Departing from S. Marco. 1710) of the Grand Canal in Venice and on the left is 'Domenico Tiepolo, The Institution of the Eucharist, 1753'.
