  • A train travels past an array of solar panels next to the line near Aldershot Railway Station on 23rd August 2019 in Aldershot, United Kingdom. This innovative project is the first in the UK to power the railway with electricity generated from solar power and, if successful, could see many Network Rail sites across the country adapting this sustainable energy approach. Riding Sunbeams is a social enterprise, run by 10:10 Climate Action. Built with Community Energy South and partnered with Network Rail and The Department for Transport and by InnovateUK.  Aldershot, Hampshire, United Kingdom. Riding Sunbeams is a world leading project to connect solar panels directly into electrified rail routes to power the trains. Direct supply of solar power to rail traction systems has never been done. But it has huge potential - from metros, trams and railways in the UK and around the world.

  • Looking up to the Fast Bag Drop facility Heathrow airport's Terminal 5. Designed by architects Richard Rogers Partnership the controversial building opened with chaotic scenes on 27/3/08. British Airways passengers faced baggage disruption after a 6 year construction project that has seen the British public divided over the role of commercial aviation. At a cost of £4.3bn, the project was Britain's longest planning inquiry which lasted four years but finally employing a total of 60,000 workers. 30,000 square metres of glass in walls; 80,000 tonnes of steel were used - 17,000 in the roof alone; 5,000 doors, 800 toilets, 20,000 power sockets and 1,700 miles of cable; 60 new aircraft stands, including 14 for the Airbus A380; 13km of tunnels were bored for the state-of-the-art baggage handling to handle 12,000 bags per hour.

  • Pat Marden rreaches up to attend an arch of apples at the East Malling Research, Kent, England that provides science-based plant and food solutions to industry and Government. As a  Horticultural Technician Pat and her colleagues work for this organisation which is the principal UK provider of top-class horticultural research and development for the perennial crops sector. They have for example, genetically fingerprinted all 2300 apples and over 250 pears of the National Fruit Collection and used DNA markers called microsatellites to produce individual profiles for trees. Looking upwards we see Pat balanced on a tapering ladder to reach leaves and branches that form this feature in the laboratory gardens and which has eight similar arches.

  • Looking at International Arrivals of Heathrow airport's Terminal 5. Designed by architects Richard Rogers Partnership the controversial building opened with chaotic scenes on 27/3/08. British Airways passengers faced baggage disruption after a 6 year construction project that has seen the British public divided over the role of commercial aviation. At a cost of £4.3bn, the project was Britain's longest planning inquiry which lasted four years but finally employing a total of 60,000 workers. 30,000 square metres of glass in walls; 80,000 tonnes of steel were used - 17,000 in the roof alone; 5,000 doors, 800 toilets, 20,000 power sockets and 1,700 miles of cable; 60 new aircraft stands, including 14 for the Airbus A380; 13km of tunnels were bored for the state-of-the-art baggage handling to handle 12,000 bags per hour.

  • During a fair at the famous Alexandra Palace in north London England, where the first BBC broadcasts were made in the mid-30s, the British Inventors Society (BIS) meet in a stand during a British Invention Show, an expo to help international entrepreneurs to sell their new ideas and concepts. BIS was formed in December 2003. The team that came together includes leading inventors and innovators, academics and entrepreneurs who share a common belief – that invention is the vital spark that drives the world’s technology and new orders of wealth creation. But there is no-one at home here, its stand remains unoccupied with vacated seats seen through the open doorway and beneath the plain sign. It is a comical and ironic scene, of unfulfilled ambition and failing innovation.

  • A female radiographer, Diana, reviews a young man’s digital chest x-ray checking for abnormalities associated with tuberculosis (TB) and other chest infections. The chest x-ray was performed on the NHS Mobile X-ray Unit (MXU) van screening for TB. The van is parked outside a hostel in central London and the visit is part of a public health intervention for Active Case Finding for TB in hard to reach groups. The rates of TB in London are higher than any other Western European capital and is a major public health problem. TB is an infectious disease, but treatable and curable if diagnosed in time. Early diagnosis is a key to TB control and Active Case Finding is an important part of this.

  • In the heart of the City of London, a caterpillar tracked crane tears down the walls of an old 70s office block close to St Paul's Cathedral, England. As a pedestrian walks past the blue hoardings that protect passers-by like him, the rubble is piled high before being removed as spoil to make way for an brand new construction that appears in an artist's impression picture on the right, above two site engineers wearing fluorescent jackets and hard hats. This is a scene of renewal in London's financial district. Of optimism and regeneration as businesses invest in new workplaces and replacing the tired, old offices that cannot accommodate new computer and server cabling technology.

  • Against orange evening light, a forest of high-rise cranes stand upright at the masive Canary Wharf development on London's Docklands, England. It is early evening and the crane drivers have left for the day, the day's shift have stopped work before resuming tomorrow. The silhouetted lines of each structure stand out clearly against the skyline before the regeneration of this region of East London grows upward. Canary Wharf is the product of the 1980s financial boom when during the office of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, huge building projects such as the Docklands consortium saw vast changes in London's landscape.

  • The renowned maze designer Randoll Coate works in his studio on more labyrinth plans. Gilbert Randoll Coate (8 October 1909 – 2 December 2005) was a British diplomat, maze designer and "labyrinthologist". With interests in art and history, Coate completed over 50 new mazes in Britain and around the world. His designs are particularly noted for their symbolism. Although it is rarely possible to see a large maze in plan view, they would often incorporate hidden shapes and references of significance to the clients who had commissioned the maze. Notable work includes: Bath Festival Maze (1984) — a stone path in Beazer Gardens, Bath; a yew hedge maze at Blenheim Palace for the Duke of Marlborough; El laberinto de Borges (Borges Memorial Maze) — San Rafael, Mendoza, Argentina. He died in Le Rouret, near Grasse, France on the 2 December 2005, aged 96.

  • Noy An, a female baby Asian elephant born in January 2015 at the Elephant Conservation Center (ECC) in Sayaboury province, Lao PDR. The ECC launched in association with the NGO ElefantAsia offers an innovative experience to visitors that combines conservation of the endangered Asian elephant with eco-tourism. Laos was once known as the land of a million elephants but now there are fewer than 900 living in the country. Around 470 of them are in captivity, traditionally employed by a lucrative logging industry. But captive elephants are often overworked and exhausted and as a consequence no longer breed. With only two elephants born for every ten that die, the Asian elephant, the sacred national emblem of Laos, is under serious threat of extinction. At the Elephant Conservation Center in Sayaboury province, the elephant nursery is an innovative reproduction project led by Lao mahouts and the Center. It relies on voluntary participation and aims to support mahouts involved in logging to bear the cost of breeding their elephant.
