  • Landscape of 2012 Olympic construction site showing the Aquatic centre, The Orbit art tower and the main stadium at Stratford. Construction workers offload a low crane from a ramp in a section of road outside the curved architecture of the Aquatic centre, seen with its white roof.  The London Olympic Stadium will be the centrepiece of the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. The stadium has capacity for the Games of approximately 80,000 making it temporarily the third largest stadium in Britain. The ArcelorMittal Orbit Tower is the newest addition to the Olympic Park and provides an attraction to rival those visited the world over. The Orbit tower gives views over the Park and the rest of London, it also caters for events and conferences offering delegates and organisers alike a unique setting and location for their event.

  • We are looking from behind a group of red uniformed meat market traders who are manhandling joints of pork from the back of a meat wagon at Macau's main meat market, on the Rua Sul do Mercado de Sao Domingos, just off the Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro, in Central Macau. The men have on hooded red tunics that hide the bloodstains of dead animal carcasses, a very practical choice of colour (color). One man has half a pig on his shoulders while another holds a leg in his left hand. The animal carcasses look heavy and they are both struggling under their weight. There is much more meat to be offloaded from the truck and the men queue up to take their turn and remove them for sale inside the market building. Besides historical Chinese and Portuguese world-heritage relics, Macau's biggest attraction is its gaming business. Its gambling revenue in 2006 weighed in at a massive £3.6bn - about £100m more than Las Vegas.  Administered by Portugal until 1999, it was the oldest European colony in China, dating back to the 16th century. The administrative power over Macau was transferred to the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1999, 2 years after Hong Kong's own handover. Macau's name is derived from A-Ma-Gau or Place of A-Ma and this temple dedicated to the seafarers' goddess dates from the early 16th century.

  • A workman tips broken up concrete on to a growing pile of construction rubble near an skyline illustration of the City of London. Illuminated by sunshine and its reflections from nearby sheet glass windows, the young man tilts the barrow so that the concrete is added to the already large pile, fenced off in this City of London street, the heart of the capital's financial district. The Cityscape in the background tells us about the UK's capital including the towering dome of St Paul's Cathedral and other financial institutions.

  • 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.

  • Travellers from across the West Country and beyond try out Romany carriages and horses at the ancient annual Priddy Sheep (and horse) fair in Somerset, England. Offloading the carriage, the men will parade around a field on the outskirts of the village, hoping to sell the vehicle. Set in the Mendip Hills, in the south-western English county of Somerset, the Priddy Sheep fair is host to an odd mix of farmers and travellers (commonly and incorrectly known as gypsies). In this field set aside purely for travellers, many with West Country accents but also with nearby Welsh and Irish too, deals are done with a traditional spit on the hand and a smacking of palms, selling a pony to another family. The Priddy Sheep Fair moved from the city of Wells in 1348 because of the Black Death.

  • A group of red uniformed meat market traders manhandle joints of pork from the back of a meat wagon at Macaus main meat market, on the Rua Sul do Mercado de Sao Domingos, on 10th August 1994, in Macau, China. The market is just off the Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro, in Central Macau. The men have on hooded red tunics that hide the bloodstains of dead animal carcasses, a very practical choice of colour.  The Macau Special Administrative Region is one of the two special administrative regions of the Peoples Republic of China PRC, along with Hong Kong. Administered by Portugal until 1999, it was the oldest European colony in China, dating back to the 16th century. The administrative power over Macau was transferred to the Peoples Republic of China PRC in 1999, 2 years after Hong Kongs own handover.

  • A motorbike is heaved off the state-run ferry across the River Nile at Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt. The rider holds the bike's handlebars while a ferry worker pushes the vehicle up the rough wooden steps used by commuters of East and West banks of the great African river. Using a little power from a twist of the throttle, the motorcycle jerks up and on to the pier.

  • Piles of rubbish bags awaiting collection by council refuse collectors in central London. As a mimic to the retail design in the background, we see the bags as a pile of contained shapes in Long Acre in London's Covent Garden. The refuse of emptied local litter bins by street sweepers, they are destined for recycling or landfill - the waste of modern city and developed western society, happy to offload its waste to unknown places.

  • A gentleman Sky Cap stands in front of the terminal building at Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, California, USA. Wearing his red waste-coat, ID badge and cap he holds the handle of the baggage trolley with which he assists passengers to offload their belongings and guides them to the check-in counters inside. The man has a greying beard and sunglasses against the glare and is an eager helper to those struggling with heavy travel possessions. On the ground are stencilled the words 'Passenger Loading Only' referring to where departing travellers might seek help with baggage.
