  • Dated October 2010 with less than two years before the London Olympiad commenced, we see a section of the outer fence to the Olympic Park. The brick wall marks the boundary of no access to land near River Lea in East London. Sharp barbs of security wall line the top, keeping out trespassers.  Covered in graffiti, it describes more the outer limit of the the property secured by the Olympic Authority who purchased land from small industrial businesses and landowners, separating people from their own localities - all in the name of a three-week sporting event that few feel they would benefit from.

  • A few miles from the finish line, this long-distance runner has stopped in agony to lean against the walls beneath Tower Bridge during th London Marathon, England. Pushing against the solid wall and stretching his cramped leg muscles, he grimaces in pain as other runners speed past on their way completing their personal race. Pushed to his limits, this man needs to continue a few more Kilometres to claim his medal and to claim victory. But he still has to overcome the pain of an overworked body. When glycogen runs low, the body must then burn stored fat for energy, which does not burn as readily. When this happens, the runner will experience dramatic fatigue. This is called "hitting the wall".

  • Wearing a peaked cap and small rucksack, a young adventurer, scales a giant boulder in the ancient forest of Monbachtal Bach in Germany's Black Forest. Stretching to climb the rock, the lad of 10 uses his hand and walking stick to balance as he puts a boot higher to gain a sure footing. There is ample covering of moss and lichen on the primeval landscape making it hazardous to conquer but the boy has the stamina to get to the top and continue his walk through this beautiful wilderness. The boy is alone in the picture though accompanied by his family but he seems to mange on his own, capable of finding his own limits of endurance and confidence. Geologically, the Black Forest consists of a cover of sandstone on top of a core of gneiss. During the last glacial period, the Würm glaciation, the Black Forest was covered by glaciers.

  • A woman driver is breathalysed at the roadside by an officer from the City of London Police. During a night shift in the streets near Liverpool Street Station, the lady blows into the device until the officer tells her to stop, having supplied sufficient breath that can be measured for alcohol in milligrams of Oxygen. When the user exhales into the breathalyzer, any ethanol present in their breath is oxidized to acetic acid at the anode. The overall reaction is the oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid and water. The electrical current produced by this reaction is measured, processed, and displayed as an approximation of overall blood alcohol content by the breathalyser. The first practical roadside breath-testing device intended for use by the police was the drunkometer. The drunkometer was developed by Professor Harger in 1938.

  • A young Nepali boy is straining in his last sit-ups during a recruitment test for the Gurkha Regiment, part of a tough endurance series to find physically perfect specimens for British army infantry training. He has to perform 25 straight-kneed sit-ups at a 45° slant both within 60 seconds to pass. 60,000 boys aged between 17-22 (or 25 for those educated enough to become clerks or communications specialists) report to designated recruiting stations in the hills each November, most living from altitudes ranging from 4,000-12,000 feet. After initial selection, 7,000 are accepted for further tests from which 700 are sent down here to Pokhara in the shadow of the Himalayas. Only 160 of the best boys succeed in the journey to the UK. The Gurkhas have been supplying youth for the British army since the Indian Mutiny of 1857.

Begun in AD 122, during the rule of emperor Hadrian, it was built as a military fortification though gates through the wall served as customs posts to allow trade and levy taxation. The 4.5m high Wall was 80 Roman miles (73.5 miles, 117km) long and so important was it to secure its length that up to 10% of the Roman army total force were stationed here. Tough walkers generally take 7 days to trek its coast-to-coast length.

  • Wearing his bathing costume, a young adventurer clambers over rocks in the Gross Enz river in Germany's Black Forest. The lad of 10 crouches to better balance himself, carefully placing his bare feet on the slippery rock's surface as he emerges from the chilly mountain water. It is high summer and we can see the boy backlit by the glare of strong sunlight in the background. The Gross Enz river rises in Enzklosterle in Baden-Württemberg and is an eventual  tributary of the Neckar. Geologically, the Black Forest consists of a cover of sandstone on top of a core of gneiss. During the last glacial period, the Würm glaciation, the Black Forest was covered by glaciers.

  • Height restriction caution sign and poles in a north Somerset woodland. Situates on a track on land in the south-west of England, we see the red and white striped structure with its caution sign attached, warning passing drivers of immediate danger. And yet, the dangerous cables carrying electricity is way above. But EU signage is now required for all public areas where low-level voltage is considered a hazard.

A bald-headed man is with his drunken partner and he drinks a pint of beer as his mates dance and sing a known football anthem. Dressed in fashionably similar England shirts - complete with the epic Three Lions badge, worn on the team's chests since their 1966 victory - the last national victory. Much alcohol (mostly, lager beer) is consumed and noisy, loutish behaviour can be heard in the capital's streets.

  • As traffic drives over London Bridge, a griffin statue marks the southern boundary between Southwark on the south side and the City of London beyond on the bridge. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City of London 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.

  • A male jogger exercises in a wide landscape of late winter light of south London's Ruskin Park. Jogging downhill along a path between silhouetted trees, the man is seen against the strong, low sun in the west. Surrounding the open space are the Victorian homes of Londoners who look out onto this protected location, owned by Lambeth and Southwark councils. It is early December and the winter has yet to grip the capital - the first snows being a short time away - and the mild weather attracts this male to a quiet moment during the day.

  • Four members of the Royal Gurkha Rifles are on tactical manoeuvres on heathland above Farnborough airfield, England. These Nepali-born boys belong to an elite Regiment of the British army. Every year 60,000 boys attend recruiting sessions in villages and towns in the Himalayan Kingdom but only 150 are selected each year to serve on active duty across the world. They fly to the UK for basic soldier training where they learn the skills required for infantry, transport, communications or clerical duties. Their reputation as a fierce but intensely loyal fighting force and many Victoria Crosses were won for bravery during World War 2. Here they are seen cradling modern SA-80 rifles while dressed in camouflaged helmets with oak leaves. The nearest to the camera points his weapon past the viewer with a yellow blank cover attached.
