  • We are looking down from above to office and business workers who are lying down and relaxing in the grass in their lunch break at Finsbury Circus, a circular green park space in the heart of London's financial district, the City of London. Surrounding them is an art instillation of steel sheep that are incongruously grazing among the assorted people, much like they once did when London was a home to livestock en-route to market and other animals used for transport. It is a warm afternoon and in the foreground, a man wearing a dark suit has taken off his polished shoes and is lying his head on his jacket in the warm afternoon, loosening his tight tie and stretching his neck. Elsewhere, a lady is sitting eating a packed lunch with the Sun newspaper and a man a little further behind is in jeans and plimsoll shoes. The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.

  • WW2-era concrete pillbox defence structure lies on the beach after coastal erosion at Warden Point, Isle of Sheppey, Kent. As part of Britain's coastal defences in the 1940s, beaches were mined and concrete bunkers  installed as lookouts facing out so sea and in the event of an invasion by German forces, as firing positions. Overhead, the Luftwaffe flew on their way to London during the Blitzkrieg. More recently, they have fallen into the sea after coastal erosion continues to wash the sedimentary soil (from the Eocene geological epoch of 52-51 million years ago) into the tidal waters of the Thames estuary. Chain Home Low Station at Warden Point was built in 1941 it stood on top of the cliffs then. Erosion of cliffs caused the remaining buildings to fall into the sea in the 1970s.

  • As child visitors negotiate their way through a hole, a musician plays the tuba within the art installation sculpture known as Colourscape on Clapham Common, South London, England. Created by an outside overhead sun shining through a collection of large, inflatable PVC domes, the man and other visitors wear coloured capes and walk slowly through tunnels, enticing customers to ecperience vivid colour while emitting eerie sound from voices, brass and string instruments. Designed by Simon Desorgher & Lawrence Casserley, Colourscape celebrated its 10th year of installation in Clapham in 2004. Colourscape's charitable Trust, Nettlefold Arts, was founded in 1988, with the purpose of presenting contemporary music, related arts and educational events, in innovative ways.

  • Children amazed at a distorted face through Petroc Sesti's art instillation called Time Fold in Great Helen's Square, in the City of London. The kids look at the optics with amazement, marvelling at its bending of light and optical experience.

  • An art instillation entitled Technofossil by the artist Helen Paling blends with the coastal landscape of Coves Haven on Holy Island, on 27th September 2017, on Lindisfarne Island, Northumberland, England. Consisting of baler twine and pebbles, the art comments on the problem of accumulated coastal waste. 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.

  • Making their way across a field, alongside a hedge, and away from a collection homes a mother and her two children walk from the direction of massive chimneys and cooling towers. The instillation in the distance is the Sellafield. Formerly known as Windscale, Sellafield (operated by Sellafield Ltd) is a nuclear processing and former electricity generating site, close to the village of Seascale on the coast of the Irish Sea in Cumbria, England. The site has been the subject of much controversy because of discharges of radioactive material into the sea, mainly accidental but some alleged to have been deliberate. 1983 was the year of the ‘Beach Discharge Incident’ in which high radioactive discharges containing ruthenium and rhodium 106, both beta-emitting isotopes, resulted in the closure of a beach. BNFL received a fine of £10,000 for this discharge.

  • While seated to have dinner at home, a young boy of about 10 years of age hides his face and wipes his lips with a serviette. Demonstrating perfect manners that his parents must have instilled in him, the lad's face is hidden from the viewer as he presses the cloth to his face to obscure his identity. He is eating some sort of pudding with a spoon and a fork rests on the highly-polished table on which an ornamental posy of flowers is reflected. It is a scene of immaculate etiquette that a boy from a middle-class background might be expected to show to elders and visitors. It is an example of grooming and pedigree to take with him out into the outside world where he will be expected to be the best behaved.
