  • A female mute swan (pen) incubates her eggs on a nest surrounded by plastic bags waste, in an urban water basin. Tower blocks are seen across the water in the distance. She shares the nest with wrappers and bottles, bags and cans tossed from a nearby walkway and perhaps drifted on the water from this urban basin in London's Docklands. The mute swan, which is the white swan most commonly seen in the British Isles, will normally mate at anytime from spring through to summer, with the cygnets being born anytime from May through to July. A swan's nest takes 2-3 weeks and the egg laying process begins with an egg being laid every 12-24 hours. They will all be incubated (ie sat on to start the growth process) at the same time with hatching usually 42 days (6 weeks) later.

  • Goats from Mudchute City Farm graze on a grassy bank that overlooks the early Docklands development of Canary Wharf in the early-1990s. The massive Thatcherite regeneration development across the Thames is starting to be built with the Canaray Wharf tower the first to rise above the grassy hill on the Isle of Dog, to the south. The animals are from the nearby Mudchute Park & Farm, one of the largest city farms in London with 32 acres of countryside in the inner-city.

  • Low-budget east London housing and the 2012 Olympic stadium that dominates the end of a street of a nearby estate. Locals make their way up the road with the enormous arena behind that will hold 80,000. In a few months the world's attention will focus on the sports and personalities of athletes, financed by the UK's already struggling economy. Much has been reported over the legacy of such a mammoth project, the largest of urban parks created in Europe for more than 150 years built during a worldwide recession. Londoners were originally promised free event tickets but communities like this are largely excluded from the games.

  • As blue light fades on a bitterly cold winter's evening, the barrier of an Austrian level-crossing has been lowered to stop traffic and allow a high-speed ICE-T train to continue on its route through, near Salzburg, Austria, Europe. OBB, the Austrian Federal Railways operate a network of 5,683 km makes them the by far largest railway-company in this country. Heavy snow has fallen in this region of the Alps and deposits have settled on the fences and the glowing red stop traffic light, signalling for motorists to halt at this dangerous road-crossing location. So fast is this mode of transport, it blurs past this cold, desolate spot where only one nearby house is next to the trackside. (From a story about travelling through 6 European countries by coach in 7 days).

  • The outline of electricity cables stretch across a gloomy winter sky in woodland near Wrington, North Somerset England. Diagonally, the cables travel across the picture but they are part of a line of L6 pylons that have already crossed many miles of South-West England's countryside, carrying 40,000 Volts along this network of aluminium cables to power some of Bristol's high supply demands. In the foreground we see the bare boughs and branches of trees creating a Sci-Fi scene of ugly 21st technology versus the beauty of nature. Insatiable appetites for raw power and energy means electricity is now an expensive comodity after climbing oil prices doubled electricity utility bills for some domestic users.

  • A football pitch and empty landscape of snowbound goal posts in wintry public park in south London. During a prolonged cold spell of bad weather, snow fell continuously on the capital on Sunday, allowing families the chance to enjoy the bleak conditions, here in Ruskin Park in the borough of Lambeth. The football goalpost, part of a soccer pitch used by local teams is otherwise unused as the weather forces local games to be cancelled before the grass beneath is again revealed. In the distance are Edwardian period houses beneath 100 year-old ash trees.

  • Looking across south London towards Edwardian homes and block of flats in the darkness of the suburbs. It is late one evening in central London, in a suburb known as Herne Hill, SE24 in the borough of Lambeth. We see across the metropolis from quiet and expensive period homes, whose owners would typically be white middle-class, across to the blocks of flats (apartments) in the Loughborough Estate, a far rougher location for street gangs and high crime rates. Owners' cars are parked under streetlights and ash trees and lights shine out from living rooms and bedrooms.

  • Blue refuse bags have been left at the foot of a matching blue brick wall. In this side street of a south London suburb, we see the garbage lying on the pavement (sidewalk) surrounded by autumnal maple leaves. The wall in the background has been roughly painted, the bricks starting to crack. But the picture is about the similar colours of the wall to the Southwark borough council bags that are provided free for residents wishing to dispose of green garden waste only. If you live in a house or flat at street level you will have a blue box and bag for your recycling. In most cases, if you have a green rubbish bin you will also be able to use a blue box and bag.

  • With al fresco customers sitting at cafe tables on the street a driver checks the delivery of toilet rolls and piles them up on the pavement, having taken them out from the back of his van in Soho, central London. Checking the customer's order, the driver stands with his piles of items driven into the capital from a warehouse somewhere. More boxes are piled high and strewn around the vehicle as the transported goods make their way to various locations around the capital. It seems to be an inappropriate place to offload, given the customers' proximity to the toilet rolls.

  • A tall Shell sign seems to echo the palm tree landscape alongside the A 92 motorway near Paradas. On the main highway between the Andalucian cities of Granada and Seville, the corporate logo appears to be higher than the growing trees in the distance. The word “Shell” first appeared in 1891 as the trademark for the kerosene that Marcus Samuel and Company shipped to the Far East. The small London business dealt originally in antiques and oriental seashells. In 1897 Samuel formed The Shell Transport and Trading Company. The first logo in 1901 was a mussel shell. In 1904 a scallop shell, or Pecten, gave a visual element to the corporate and brand name.

  • Taking notes from an air band receiving radio, plane spotters log aircraft serial numbers and other details in notebooks near their perimeter fence at London's Heathrow airport. A large man has a pair of binoculars and an old SLR film camera and leans against his Peugeot car's bonnet (hood) to record the obsessive facts about airliners that pass overhead as they approach the runways of West London. His fellow-aviation enthusiast checks the radio that transmits the voices of pilots and air traffic controllers. In Britain, plane spotters are regarded as eccentric and sad but not trespassers. Some have been accused of spying near foreign military airfields. 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.

  • With a look of delight on her face, a four year-old girl stamps through fallen snow in a field near her home in Bielefeld, Germany. Wearing a vibrant red bobble hat and matching coat, she smiles towards the viewer with the pleasure of any child enjoying the excitement of fresh snow. Ski or sledge tracks can be seen at her feet but she is the only person in this empty landscape, as if she's walking on her own through the snowy hills. It is the winter of 1967 and the reds are very vibrant and dominant from the Kodachrome film used which also has a wonderful muted blue colour cast in the mid-tones giving the picture a chilly, wintry feel reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded and dated look.

  • A lightning bolt spreads across night skies over South London terraced homes. Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder, which typically occurs during thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms. In the atmospheric electrical discharge, a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 220,000 km/h (140,000 mph), and can reach temperatures approaching 30,000 °C (54,000 °F), hot enough to fuse silica sand into glass channels known as fulgurites which are normally hollow and can extend some distance into the ground. There are some 16 million lightning storms in the world every year.
