  • Two window cleaners safely attached to an outside cradle, wash the large panes of glass at a building at Broadgate in the City of London. While stretching with his long sponge into the corner of this window, one worker on the left is wiping soapy liquid onto the grimy glass before cleaning it off with a squeegee. His colleague on the right is communicating with the cradle operator in the building's roof, way above these men, in order to raise the cradle and allowing the men to achieve the correct operating height. Far below them is the capital's Square Mile, London's financial and oldest area. The famous dome of St Paul's Cathedral can be seen most prominently although it is a grey day across this modern metropolis skyline.

  • The solitary figure of a man stands on the roof of an office building in downtown Atlanta during a victory parade for the city's baseball team. The man may be a security guard, keeping watch over the streets below as crowds gather to honour the Atlanta Braves Baseball team, after their 1995 World Series win. The figure is in his manmade environment and the high walls and windows of the buildings that make up this metropolis dwarf this tiny human who in the scale and perspective of a modern city looks incongruous, isolated and insignificant.

  • The Bay of Naples (population 3.7m) seen from the south-western slopes of the Vesuvius Volcano which last erupted in 1944. The national emergency plan to protect the inhabitants from a possible eruption of the Vesuvius area has as its baseline the explosive event of 1631. Drafted by the scientific community has identified three areas with different hazard defined: the red zone, yellow zone and the blue zone. The red zone is the area immediately surrounding the volcano, and is in greater danger as potentially subject to invasion by pyroclastic flows, or mixtures of gases and solids at high temperature which, sliding along the slopes of the volcano at high speed can destroy in a short time everything is on its way. Pyroclastic flows probably will not grow at 360 ° in the neighborhood of the volcano, but will head in one or more preferential directions

  • Viewed from the top of the Arc de triumph in the centre of Paris, the French capital, we see tiny human figures going about their daily business, a hurried frenzy of activity at street level far below. This street is the Avenue des Champs Elysees, one of the most famous of European boulevards and the multi-lane road that stretches away into the distance – from l’Etoile to Place de la Concorde – is dissected with zebra crossings over which more pedestrians negotiate the Parisian traffic that has stopped on a red light. Otherwise small figures walk along the pavement (sidewalk) and some disappear into an underground Metro entrance.

  • In evening city mist, a car park attendant stands guard over his downtown Atlanta parking lot. Next to him is a giant billboard for Marlboro with the classic face of the Marlboro cowboy, depicted drawing on a cigarette and wearing the traditional wide-brimmed stetson. They are low in the frame and the gloomy and eerie mist sits oppressively around the tall buildings, obscuring their top floors. Office lights still burn and a bright street light shines with the intensity of a small solar flare. The Marlboro Man is part of a tobacco advertising campaign for Marlboro cigarettes. The Marlboro Man was first conceived by the Leo Burnett agency in 1954. The image involves a rugged cowboy or cowboys, in nature with only a cigarette. The ads were originally conceived as a way to popularize filtered cigarettes, which at the time were considered feminine. Actor and author William Thourlby is said to have been the first Marlboro Man. The models who portrayed the Marlboro Man were New York Giants Quarterback Charley Conerly, New York Giants Defensive Back Jim Patton, Darrell Winfield, Dick Hammer, Brad Johnson, Bill Dutra, Dean Myers, Robert Norris, Wayne McLaren, David McLean and Tom Mattox. Two of them, McLaren and McLean, died of lung cancer.

  • Beyond Edwardian period homes bordering Ruskin Park in south London, the residential skyscraper called St George Wharf Tower rises from the Nine Elms development at Battersea above the foreground houses and 100 year old ash trees in the borough of Lambeth. The tower is 181 metres (594 ft) tall with 49 storeys, the tallest residential building in the United Kingdom. We see a landscape of change, from the era of Edwardian Britain to the twenty-tens, when property is being built for the benefit of the wealthy Londoners and especially, foreign buyers from China and the middle-east who are investing in new flats but who rarely occupy them at the expense of those needing homes.

  • Amid the deep blue skies of a summer landscape in the city, a lone figure of a woman is reflected in a large mirror as she walks through La Defence in central Paris. Reflected in a large, polished mirror we see the lone female with her back turned to us as she looks over her left shoulder. In front of her is an information post but apart from a pair of legs from an unseen passer-by, she is alone in this busy financial district of the French capital. La Défense is a major business district of the Paris aire urbaine. With a population of 20,000,[1] it is centered in an orbital motorway straddling the Hauts-de-Seine département municipalities of Nanterre, Courbevoie and Puteaux. The district is at the westernmost extremity of Paris's 10 km long Historical Axis

  • High up on an outdoor roof terrace, Deutsche Bank city workers admire the view from their office tower block in Frankfurt. Standing at the very top floor of this German bank, the people look in perspective very small as they peer out over the cityscape beyond. They must have a sense of acute vertigo and dizziness as they lean against the parapet that lacks any safeguards or barriers.

  • High up on an exposed balcony, German city workers smoke outside of their office tower block in Frankfurt's financial district. Surrounded by the grey surfaces of industrial concrete, the workers appear in perspective as tiny compared to the gardeur and height of their scyscraper tower block.
