  • A French Dassault-Breguet Mirage military jet interceptor/fighter stands on a pedestal in the Place de la Concorde, Paris during an aviation display weekend along the Champs Elysées. Passers-by seem oblivious to this celebration of French aviation as they walk through the Parisian square, the scene of public executions during the revolution. The Mirage seems to be climbing off its platform and up into the cloudless summer afternoon sky as a young child sits on top of his father's shoulders and passengers in a city bus seem trapped behind the windows. Its is a scene of incongruous moments, a surreal appearance of frightening military technology amid the calm of a public place. 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.

  • A man has chosen a free surface to spread himself out on during a lunchtime break in the City of London. Having removed his shirt and tie, he sunbathes topless with only his trousers and shoes, the clue as to his day-job in a London office. There is a heat wave in the capital and others are soaking up rays during a working week. Bronzed and asleep, the young man is carefree enough not to worry about his eccentric behaviour in a public place.

  • A week after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, shrines and memorials started appearing in public places at various squares and street locations in Manhattan that commemorated the killed and missing citizens, lost in the ruins of terrorist devastation. Candle-lit vigils like this were maintained for weeks as people came together and shared a common grief, singing and praying and displaying American flags and often denouncing evil in the world. Emotions were running high and many citizens offered spiritual aide such as food and drink. In outpourings of grief, anger and patriotic rhetoric, flags were flown as never before as  America sought to express their emotions and unity.

  • In the 24hrs that a further 38 died from Coronavirus, bringing the total to 41,736, a further easing of the UK’s Covid pandemic lockdown restrictions took place with many high street shops today being allowed to re-open after three months of forced closure. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, wanting to stimulate the economy, has urged people to shop with confidence and long queues formed outside the main brands. But unlike on public transport, face coverings are not compulsory so shop floors and shopping practices have had to be adapted to ensure customers’ social distances, amid fears of a second infection wave. A police officer is positioned on an especially-built raised scaffolding platform to watch the public at this important moment of economic progress, on Regent Street, on 15th June 2020, in London, England.

  • A 4.1m high bronze sculpture of a boy on a rocking horse has been unveiled on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, London, England, UK. Artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset say "Powerless Structures, Fig 101 (the title of the piece) questions "monuments predicated on military victory or defeat". They said it was "up to the public to love it or hate it" but "hopefully not ignore it". Funded by the Mayor of London and Arts Council England, the sculpture will remain in place for a year. The artists said, in a statement, that "the image of a young boy astride his rocking horse encourages viewers to consider the less spectacular events in their lives which are often the most important". The Fourth Plinth is an empty plinth in Trafalgar Square in central London originally intended to hold an equestrian statue. For over 150 years there was much squabbling about what to do with the fourth plinth, but very little agreement, until the temporary use of the plinth to display three pieces of art in the last years of the 20th century lead to a commission being formed to decide on a use for it. Eventually that commission unanimously decided to use it for the temporary display of artworks.
