  • Peering comically over a hedgerow, a Guernsey cow looks on in a field on the small British-owned Channel Island. Renowned for the rich flavour of its milk, as well as its hardiness and docile disposition descended from two breeds brought over from nearby France (Isigny cattle from Normandy and the Froment du Léon from Brittany) the 450 to 500 kg Guernsey produces around 6,000 litres per cow per year. Its milk has a golden colour due to an exceptionally high content of beta carotene, a source of Vitamin A, which helps reduce the risks of certain cancers. The milk also has a high butterfat content of 5% and a high protein content of 3.7% making it deliciously creamy. The island of Guernsey is divided into ten parishes and along with its larger and more commercial Jersey, is situated in the warm English Channel, nearer to French than the English coast.

  • Like a huge caged animal in a zoo, the cockpit section of a Boeing 747 'jumbo' jet is perceived peering over the barbed-wire perimeter fence at London's Heathrow airport between engineering schedules and more transcontinental flights. Two fluffy cumulus clouds are stacked vertically above the hump of the airliner's nose to form three white blotches of the same tone. This major hub is mainly for British Airways operations, one of the three busiest airports in the world. When asked what is his favourite building of the Century, architect Sir Norman Foster offered the 747 the Jumbo has since carried 2.2 billion people: 40% of the world’s population.

  • Hidden in a wooden hut, a group of bird-spotting ornithologists peer through binoculars at the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) rreserve at Rainham Marshes, Essex England. Watching dozens of wintering birds, the group are intensely looking through their optical equipment in anticipation of seeing rare breeds at this Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a wetland alongside the River Thames, 20 miles from Central London. A narrow slit is open to keep them hidden from sight so leaning on elbows and with a guide sheet in front to identify particular species, they concentrate on their hobby. The RSPB has 200 nature reserves covering almost 130,000 hectares, home to 80% of Britain's rarest or most threatened bird species. Its role is to speak out for birds and wildlife, tackling the problems that threaten the environment.

  • A young Nepali man peers out from a curtain to talk to an unseen neighbour in a remote village near Ulleri, in the Himalayan foothills, Nepal. It is a colourful (colorful) scene as the curtain fabric is a striking blue with mauve leaf motifs drawn in but it is a natural opposite colour against the badly-painted yellow wooden walls of his shack. 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 circuit, a sometimes rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak. Tea houses are dotted along the trail offering lodging, refreshments and basic, but delicious food to the weary traveller.

  • "Puddle in Oxleas Wood." A six month-old infant looks out from a baby back carrier frame whilst out on a muddy winter jaunt in Oxleas Wood on Shooters Hill, South London. The girl peers out with a fascination for the outdoors from a warm coat wearing a tiny hat and loose-fitting gloves to view the world while perched high-up on her mother's back who carries her child on the chilly walk. The bare trees and forested landscape can be imagined from the waterlogged puddle that is out of focus to the right. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • Peering through a hole in the huge metal door of an old Victorian tunnel, two children stand on the place where a railway once emerged from this brick entrance - a link between nearby Dulwich and the Crystal Palace. Now the London Wildlife Trust maintains this once-wild wood at Sydenham, South London, England, which has reverted to forest again, 40 years after (one of the first the electrified railways) line fell silent. The brother and sister look through to see if there is light at the end of this tunnel but it has long been bricked up, sealed to deter vandals and danger to all. It is Autumn and the leaves on the beech and oak trees are about to fall, adding to the already organic deep forest floor. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released

  • Grazing Alpine cows in a field where a chairlift operates overhead in Leonhard-St Leonardo, a Dolomites village in the Badia region of south Tyrol, Italy. Peering over the fence we see the cow in summer sunshine with ample supplies of fresh grass to feed on. South Tyrolean freshness begins on family farms with an average of 12 cows each. Every day, the mountains farmers at 800 to 2000 m above sea level make sure that their South Tyrolean milk gets from the cow to the refrigerator within 24 hours. South Tyrolean milk is naturally also used to make cheese. The region has over 90 different types of cheese - the most famous being Dolomiti, Alta Badia and Pustertaler mountain cheese.

  • The Mr Chelsea Body Beautiful talent competition is held on the Kings Road in London. Entrants are handsome males and girls showing their muscles and well-trimmed bodies. We see hairy chests, pectorals and biceps on-show by these young exhibitionists who parade themselves in the open-air. Slightly behind them there are also two elderly ladies looking like sisters or perhaps twins. They were once beautiful themselves and sit eagerly on a bench against a wall peering at the handsome young men, wishing they were young again. One holds a walking stick and the other grasps a bottle of wine. It is a scene of young and old, of youth and ageing beauty.

  • We are looking up from the ground to crowds gathered in three levels of a multi-story car park to await athletes pass during the London Marathon. The runners will make their way through the streets of East London beneath these spectators who have been patiently waiting for their friends and families to pass below. It is a great viewpoint from which to view such a sporting spectacle and we are peering up at the supporters leaning against the discoloured (discolored) concrete architecture dating back to the 1970s. It is the best elevated place to witness the race. There are three rows of 5 columns totalling 15 seperate windows and each one is full of families young and old. They resemble the compartments of a garden pet hutch where rabbits are kept in cramped conditions.

  • The £18.2m Millennium Bridge (a Thames crossing linking the City of London at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Tate Modern Gallery at Bankside) was London's newest river crossing for 100-plus years and coincided with the Millennium, it was hurriedly finished and opened to the public on 10 June 2000 when an estimated 100,000 people crossed it to discover the structure oscillated so much that it was forced to close 2 days later. Over the next 18 months designers added dampeners to stop its wobble but it already symbolised what was embarrassing and failing in British pride. Now the British Standard code of bridge loading has been updated to cover the swaying phenomenon, referred to as Synchronous Lateral Excitation. Here a surveyor stands with legs spread peering into a tripod-mounted theodolite to measure its 370 metres (1,214 ft) steel length.

  • With their eyes peering through eyeholes, hooded penitents (Nazarenos) during Seville's annual Easter Holy Week (Semana Santa de Sevilla) one of the most important traditional events of the city. The annual celebrations mark the story of Christ's crucifixion and the Nazarenos walk through the historic Andalucian city in front of the devout in a series of processions. Several hundred members of the 57 religious brotherhoods (or Hermandades) from many of city churches accompany giant floats (Pasos) depicting the road to Calvary. The brotherhoods (founded in the mid 14th century) are associations of Catholic laypersons organised for the purpose of performing public acts of religious observance; in this case, related to the Passion and death of Jesus Christ and to perform public penance.

Under the gaze of a giant eye that seems to be peering from out of a massive TV screen, the self-service kiosks that have been developed to allow customers to process their own ticketing on arrival at this aviation hub for British Airways. Once they've chosen their seat and printed a boarding pass, they can go straight to the Fast Bag Drop desk at the airport. There, baggage will be tagged by an agent and sent to the aircraft. At a cost of £4.3 billion, Terminal 5 has the capacity to serve around 30 million passengers a year. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • Deep below-decks, we peer through a striped window of the highly-classified Conflict Direction Center or War Room on the aircraft carrier US Navy USS Harry S Truman during its deployment patrol of the no-flyzone in the Persian Gulf, near the Kuwaiti coast. This top secret office is used for planning and executing sophisticated tactical electronic warfare that fighter jets and surveillance aircraft engage in from air operations mounted from the carrier. The Truman is the largest and newest of the US Navy's fleet of new generation carriers, a 97,000 ton floating city with a crew of 5,137, 650 are women. The Iraqi no-fly zones (NFZs) were proclaimed by the United States, United Kingdom and France after the Gulf War of 1991 to protect humanitarian operations in northern Iraq and Shiite Muslims in the south. Iraqi aircraft were forbidden from flying inside the zones. The policy was enforced by US, UK and French aircraft patrols until France withdrew in 1998.

  • Children play in a desolate street in the town of Nova Huta. Amid the filthy walls of their tenement building home and of the grim, car less street beyond, two older children play in their doorway while younger friends peer from around a corner. It is horribly depressing and unhealthy place to grow up and these children are pale and yet seem happy, with smiles on their faces. The famous steel works can be seen at the end of the street. After the war, Stalin decided to build an ideological communist fantasy just outside Krakow: a model town and immense steelworks of the future. The steelworks was named after Lenin and the town would be called Nova Huta. At its peak, 27,000 people worked at the Lenin Steelworks. But Solidarity grew strong forcing strikes over pay and recognition over their union. Today, it is an economic and ecological disaster area.

  • From inside a large cube, we see Italian artist Michaelangelo Pistoletto's "Metrocubo d’Infinito" mirror installation at Palazzo Strozzi in the Medici Renaissance city of Florence. While the exterior of the cube looks like a gigantic rusty rubix-cube, inside is really a kind of infinity of self-reflection, covered entirely, floor to ceiling, in mirrors. And in the centre of the cube is another smaller cube made of grey stone. Young female visitors engage with the artwork and peer down to the floor where, just like all four walls and the ceiling, the repeating image stretches as far as the eye can focus.
