  • The main nose wheel of an Airbus is parked on a stand at Bahrain International Airport. The names of other Airbuses and Boeing 737 types are also written on the concrete to allow exact distances for expandable air bridges and other airfield vehicles to connect and service these similarly-sized commercial airliners. A key hub airport in this region, providing a gateway to the Northern Gulf, Bahrain is the major hub for Gulf Air which provides 52% of overall movements. It is also the half-way point between Western Europe and Asian destinations such as Hong Kong and Beijing. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • The main nose wheel of a British Airways airliner is parked on a stand at Heathrow Airport. The identifying names of the Boeing type range such as 777s, 767, 747 and 757s are also stencilled on the apron concrete to allow exact distances for expandable air bridges and other airfield vehicles to connect and service these differing-sized commercial airliners. The pilot has devices inside and outside to gauge the exact spot to break to a standstill though these marks are largely unsighted to them, high up in the cockpit. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • A Bahrani aircraft mechanic stands beneath the giant nose wheel assembly of a Being airliner at Bahrain International Airport. Wearing a red headset, he can communicate by cable with the pilots high up in the aircraft's cockpit as a vehicle pushes-back the flying machine onto the taxi-way before starting its engines and departure. It is another hot day in this Gulf State, a key hub airport in the region, providing a gateway to the Northern Gulf. The airport is the major hub for Gulf Air which provides 52% of overall movements.

  • A small boy shows a fascination for a huge tractor wheel at the Lambeth country fair in inner-city south London. Possibly never having seen a large machine such as this at close-quarters, the lad stares at the giant nuts that attach the wheel to the main frame. Perhaps he is captivated by its immensity and scale, so much larger than his toy vehicle at home in his toy box.

  • Undercarriage and main wheels bays of Boeing-manufactured 787 Dreamliner (N787BX) at the Farnborough Airshow. On its first flight outside of the US during its testing programme, the newest airliner in the Boeing aviation family, has arrived at the air show for a few days of exhibitions to the aerospace-buying community and the trade press. Later the public will have the chance to see this jet up close too. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a long range, mid-sized, wide-body, twin-engine  jet airliner developed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It seats 210 to 330 passengers, depending on variant. Boeing states that it is the company's most fuel-efficient airliner and the world's first major airliner to use composite materials for most of its construction

  • City policemen make calls from their scooters near horse and carriages in Seville's Plaza de Espana. With tourist horse carriages and visitors nearby, the two officers position themselves in the middle of this semi-circular enclosure built by Aníbal González, the great architect of Sevillian regionalism, for the Ibero-American exposition held in 1929. Today the Plaza de España mainly consists of Government buildings. The Seville Town Hall, with sensitive adaptive redesign, is located within it. The Plaza's tiled 'Alcoves of the Provinces' are backdrops for visitors portrait photographs, taken in their own home province's alcove.

  • Dusk falls on a typical Mississippi veranda in a Hopper-esque fashion. Between Nesbit and Sardis just off route 55, Mississippi. When Driving through the Bible belt its great to get off the main highways and just cruise around:  that’s when you get to meet the real America.

  • Lindsey Maples and friend Robert Montgomery hanging out as the sun begins to set in Arkabutla, Tennessee. The trick of the road trip experience  in Southern USA is to get off the main highways as often as possible: it’s the best  way to meet the real America. Despite the stereotype of red neck America that is portrayed you are more likely to meet a friendly and hospitable folk interested in you as you are in them.

  • In mid-day heat of the arid Arizona desert, a complete set of main landing gear undercarriage stands upright amid a field of similar items from airliners at the storage facility at Davis Monthan, Tucson. Here, the fate of the world’s retired civil airliners is decided by age or cooling economy. Cannibalised for still-working parts or recycled for scrap, their aluminium is worth more than their sum total. Elsewhere, assorted aircraft wrecks sit abandoned in the scrub minus their bellies, legs or wings like dying birds. After a lifetime of safe commercial flight, wings are clipped and cockpits sliced apart by huge guillotines, cutting through their engineering. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • In the foreground a local dog lies down in the afternoon heat on rutted ancient Roman flag stones while in the background tourists walk down the old highway in Pompeii, Italy. Next to his exhausted body, the grooved ruts carved by wooden wheels can still be seen next to a large stepping stone which let chariots ride over the stone yet allowed pedestrians to step over the road. Pompeii is a ruined Roman city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania. It was completely buried during a catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius on 24 August 79 AD. The volcano covered Pompeii under many metres of ash, and it was lost for over 1,600 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1748. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, it is a main tourist attraction of Italy and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pompeii has become a popular tourist destination; with approximately 2.5 million visitors a year, it is the most popular tourist attraction in Italy.

  • Pet dog rides on top of an airline animal cargo box in the main terminal of Paris Orly airport. Perched on top of the animal transport container, the dog looks attentive and interested either before or after its flight from or to, the Paris airport, being wheeled on a baggage trolley. Another passenger walks through the terminal, amused at the strange dog. Animals have been transported by air since the early 1930's. In today's modern world, carriage of live animals by air is considered the most humane and expedient method of transportation over long distances. ATA's Live Animals Regulations (LAR) is the worldwide standard for transporting live animals by commercial airlines.

  • The shadow of a locked up bike is on a central London street as a cyclist passes-by. The sun is sinking behind tall office buildings and is illuminating this corner of the street near Holborn in central London. The main shadow comes from the locked bike that leans against a pole. We see the perfect circles of the wheels and the clear lines from the bike's frame, gear teeth and handlebars. In the background are other bicycles - one being ridden and others also parked on railings.
