  • A young boy in a field plays with a ewe and chickens at Drusillas Park Zoo. He reaches down to the ground to see if the chickens behind a wire fence will come nearer while the ewe is held tight by a farm hand. Educating the young with hands-on experiences help the urban to understand the nature of farming and the sources of their food. But after this contact with livestock, the boy needs to wash his hands thoroughly as the risk of infections such as E.coli are significant – as has been discovered in other park zoos and farms. Cattle and sheep are the main carriers of E.coli O157 so hand washing using warm water and soap is an important and effective control. It is recommended that washing after working with or touching animals, their dung, manure, slurry or sewage. E.coli O157 can live for some months in the soil.

  • 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.

  • Lit by early sun that filters through mountain peaks to this remote village near Ulleri, in the Himalayan foothills, Nepal, we see the veranda of a tea shop that serves weary travellers trekking the Annapurna Circuit and traditional doko basket. Villages such as these partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing and also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary, a sometimes gruelling walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak - and beyond. Tea houses are dotted along the trail offering lodging, refreshments and basic, but delicious food to the weary traveller and the landscapes are often shared with local livestock.

  • Radar station on top of Titterstone Clee Hill on 22nd July 2020 in Cleedownton, United Kingdom. Titterstone Clee Hill, sometimes referred to as Titterstone Clee or, incorrectly, Clee Hill, is a prominent hill in the rural English county of Shropshire, rising at the summit to 533 metres above sea level. It is one of the Clee Hills, in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Most of the summit of the hill is affected by man-made activity, the result of hill fort construction during the Bronze and Iron Ages and, more recently, by years of mining for coal and quarrying for dolerite, known locally as dhustone, for use in road-building. Many derelict quarry buildings scattered over the hill are of industrial archaeological interest as very early examples of the use of reinforced concrete. Several radar domes and towers operate on the summit of the hill. The largest of the radar arrays is part of the National Air Traffic Services NATS radar network, and covers one of 30 overlapping regions of UK airspace. The one on Titterstone Clee monitors all aircraft within a 100-mile radius.

According to the country's Ministry of Tourism, European visitors to Egypt is down by up to 80% in 2016 from the suspension of flights after the downing of the Russian airliner in Oct 2015. Euro-tourism accounts for 27% of the total flow and in total, tourism accounts for 11.3% of Egypt's GDP so communities like this are suffering economically, as a result.
