  • A nun practicing Tibetan-Buddhism meditates in silence at a shrine. Seen in almost silhouette, the young woman engages in Puja, or prayer, at the Kagyu Samye Ling Buddhist retreat centre in Eskdalemuir, Scotland. She is a western visitor, many of whom have had a troubled youth and are sometimes escaping a criminal past, who arrive in the Scottish wilderness for isolated retreat periods, for short-term spiritual relaxation or to follow Tibetan teaching methods for discovering inner-peace, through prayer and meditation. This Tibetan Buddhist complex associated with the Kagyu School celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2007.

  • Buddhists meditate in silence for 30 minutes in their Shrine Room at the Rivendell Buddhist Retreat Centre, England. A middle-aged man and a younger woman sit in a meditative cross-legged position in order to relax their bodies and free their minds for this period of inner-contemplation. In front of the couple is a model of their retreat centre, a house now run by the Triratna Buddhist Community. Once a Victorian country rectory for the local vicar in this East Sussex village, it now houses facilities for the spiritual and the peaceful, having escaped for a brief time, the pressures of modern life. Beyond are two Buddhas on a tapestry and as a statue. The community web address is www.rivendellretreatcentre.com.

  • A visiting Lama teacher of Kagyu Tibetan-Buddhism greets a westerner baby and its father in the Kagyu Samye Ling Buddhist retreat centre in Eskdalemuir, Scotland. Touching the child on its head, the Lama smiles and appears the archetypal kind leader of the Buddhist religion. The dad and baby are western visitors in this peaceful location for spiritual cleansing and often to find answers to their complicated, modern lives. And many here have had a troubled youth and are sometimes escaping a criminal past, who arrive in the Scottish wilderness for isolated retreat periods, for short-term spiritual relaxation or to follow Tibetan teaching methods for discovering inner-peace, through prayer and meditation. This Tibetan Buddhist complex associated with the Kagyu School celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2007.

  • Graffiti sprayed on a rendered brick wall proclaims that a higher authority ‘Can’t evict our ideas’. This message of resistance by the underdogs of a moral majority appears on a part of wasteland in the Yorkshire city of Bradford, where the residents of an estate near the city centre have been forcibly removed to make space for a new development. Before their migration, the anonymous, downtrodden people were desperate enough to write this piece of anarchical philosophy that might be seen as a metaphor for a class war against the establishment by The People; the working classes otherwise known in Marxist ideology, as the Proletariat – a kind of thought from the (Orwellian) novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell.

  • A stone wall detail at the Old Smithy, Pennyghael, Isle of Mull, Scotland. In a close-up view, we see the tight fitting stones interlocked to provide strength as well as security for this domestic property. Their are few weeds telling us the wall is well-maintained and it is likely that only local materials have been used in this and other buildings. The origins of building in dry stone, i.e. without the use of mortar, are lost in the mists of antiquity. The use of stone in various builds such as funeral chambers and living accommodation date from the Stone and Iron Ages. Regional styles and patterns of construction do vary throughout the country but the principles of construction established thousands of years ago are still practiced to this day. Regrettably, there is little written historical record of those who practiced the craft in the early days.

  • A Beefeater Sergeant Yeoman stands guard outside the Tower of London. The Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary, popularly known as the Beefeaters, are ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London. In principle they are responsible for looking after any prisoners in the Tower and safeguarding the British crown jewels, but in practice they act as tour guides and are a tourist attraction in their own right, a point the Yeoman Warders acknowledge. In 2011, there were 37 Yeomen Warders and one Chief Warder.
