  • Police tape and a makeshift sign warn of a lane closure due to flooding in the village of Lavant, West Sussex. Afternoon sunshine illuminates the roughly-made board with red painted letters which says 'Road Closed'. The rippling water is less than a foot deep and we can see the broken white centre line beneath the surface but the linked posts that border the village green are also submerged. Even so, traffic is prohibited from passing through there for the risk of grounding or damaging engines. Lavant is a village just north of the city of Chichester. It is made up of two parts, Mid Lavant and East Lavant, and takes its name from the River Lavant which flows from East Dean. This area has been prone to flooding for several years and houses around the rising rivers can be blighted with insurance companies refusing future cover.

  • A Segway-free zone sign on Karmelitska street, Smichov district, Prague 5, on 19th March, 2018, in Prague, the Czech Republic. In 2016, a ban was introduced on Segway motor scooters in Pragues historic center and some other parts of the Czech capital. Authorities placed 610 traffic warning signs in the Segway-free areas. Using the two-wheeled scooters in those zones will be punishable by a fine of up to 2,000 koruna. Protests from locals over the number of tourists riding Segways on sidewalks and Pragues narrow cobbled streets prompted city officials to approve the ban to include Pragues 1st, 2nd 3rd, 4th, 7th and 8th districts, including streets and walkways.

  • A No Pedestrians entry sign on the red door of a local garage business. Seen as a detail, we look at the surface of the wooden door painted red but peeling on the bottom part. The triangular-shaped sign looks handmade with the shop-bought sign on the top.

  • After heavy rain and the subsequent flooding, two lone canoeists paddle down the centre of the A27 near Chichester, West Sussex. The Dual carriageway has been completely submerged to approximately 1.5 metres and only the road sign with its directional arrow is visible above the surface which is rippling in a faint breeze. The men in red and yellow kayaks look inexperienced in boating activities and their clothing is not suitable for water sports. Even so, they are speeding down the highway that is otherwise empty of all other vehicles and they have the water and space to themselves without the fear of collision.

  • A sign warning passers-by of chemical and biological landfill dangers on property owned by Waste Management, Offham, Kent. The sign has been placed on a wooden fence on private land at the side of a village road in this rural area of southern England. A substantial lock has been placed through the fence and gate deterring those wishing to take a shortcut through to nearby woods. Places like Offham were chosen for London’s rubbish and for many years gigantic ARC lorries left London for the villages in order to fill the quarries with metropolitan waste.

  • Man wearing his trousers slung low, struggles to keep them up. London, England, UK. Sagging is a manner of wearing trousers or jeans which sag so that the top of the trousers or jeans are significantly below the waist, sometimes revealing much of the underwear. Sagging is predominantly a male fashion. In some countries this practice is known as "low-riding". The style was popularized by hip-hop artists in the 1990s. It later became a symbol of freedom and cultural awareness among some youths or a symbol of their rejection of the values of mainstream society. It is often claimed the style originated from the United States prison system where belts are sometimes prohibited.

  • A male smoker pauses beneath office buildings in the City of London. Standing for a brief moment to enjoy his cigarette before returning back to his office job where smoking is prohibited, the man has chosen a sunny spot in an otherwise dark street, not warmed by winter sunshine. A small amount of exhaled smoke hangs around the male's face as be blows it away, to drift along the street.

  • Shoppers browse the many jewellers shop displays on Florence's Ponte Vecchio. The Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge") is a Medieval bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewellers, art dealers and souvenir sellers. It has been described as Europe's oldest wholly-stone, closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge. To enforce the prestige of the bridge, in 1593 the Medici Grand Dukes prohibited butchers from selling there; their place was immediately taken by several gold merchants.

  • Glastonbury Festival, 2015.<br />
Group of girls all dressed up inhaling baloons of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, (which gives an instant high) in the camping grounds before the big night out.<br />
Technically laughing gas falls into a legal grey area, coming under the ‘legal high’ bracket as it is used by some dentists as an anaesthetic. Although it is not illegal to possess and inhale the substance, it is illegal to supply it to anyone under the age of 18.<br />
In an attempt to tackle legal highs, the government's Psychoactive Substances Bill intends to prohibit the sale of mood-altering drugs without a medical purpose.

  • Sarah, at Atnas Kandie Primary School. Sarah was lucky enough to find a sponsor to pay her admission fees and cover her uniform and books – barriers that prohibit many of Kenya’s poorest children from attending the country’s free primary schools. Thanks to the charity Marys Meals she also gets school meal, hugely important when Sarah’s mother is so poor they are often made homeless while saving for the rent. When she is not at school she works on the dumps collecting rubbish for the family to survive. <br />
<br />
Making a living from collecting rubbish in Eldoret is no easy job; disease, injury, substance abuse and even the threat of violence is an everyday reality for the people who live and work at the dump.  It’s especially hard for the mothers and their children forced through poverty to scrape a living of around $1 dollar a day.

  • Sarah Wanjiru, 10yrs with mother Jane Wajira , and Jane’s grandchild pose for pictures next a small tip where they have been picking rubbish to make some money. They recycle mainly plastic; on average they can make up to 150-200 Ksh a day ( $1-2). The dump here is smaller with less pickings but safer than the main dump in Eldoret. <br />
<br />
Jane had her first baby when she was as young as 12-13; she now has four children which she cares for her self . Her husband was killed in the Kenyan riots of 2007/8. Her 10-year-old daughter Sarah comes to help her sort rubbish when she’s not at school. Sarah was lucky enough to find a sponsor to pay her admission fees and cover her uniform and books – barriers that prohibit many of Kenya’s poorest children from attending the country’s free primary schools.

  • A Hmong ethnic minority woman in Ban Long Lan carries a bowl of Arabica coffee cherries harvested for ‘Saffron coffee’, Luang Prabang province, Lao PDR. The coffee is grown in the high mountain peaks and plateaus in Luang Prabang over 800 meters above sea level. In November, December and January Saffron Coffee coffee farmers gather all of their family members to hand pick only the red-ripe cherries. It will take several passes over these few months to harvest all of them. These farmers were once producers of opium, but who have been impoverished by lack of a replacement crop in the wake of opium’s prohibition by the Lao government. Saffron Coffee’s goal in helping these farmers grow coffee is to give them a viable and sustainable cash crop, developing their economy, and thus giving them the ability to buy medicines and send their children to school.

  • Visitors enter the Coca-Cola corporate museum in the company's Atlanta headquarters. Beneath a giant corporate sign encased in a spherical design, the family of parents and young children enter the building near the 1996 Olympic stadium. Small square windows allow small amounts of light into this museum, a tribute and celebration to this American fizzy drink known around the world. Originally intended as a patent medicine when Atlanta and Fulton County passed prohibition legislation in 1886, John Pemberton responded by developing Coca-Cola, essentially a non-alcoholic version of French Wine Coca. The first sales were at Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8, 1886.
