  • During the turnround of the British Airways jet aircraft, a refueller checks the safety of heavy fuel nozzles that connect from his bowser truck on the apron at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. He is ensuring the correct plugging of the connections as some 109 tons of Jet A1 aviation fuel flow at a rate of 3,000 litres a minute which is being uplifted into the wing tanks of this Boeing 747-300, a typical quantity of extra fuel for this aeroplane bound for Los Angeles. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • A portrait of a baker holding yet to be baked dough for Ciabatta bread. Standing by trays of ready to bake loaves, the man is of African or afro-Caribbean origin, clearly made out in the white of his uniform and mix, his white baker’s uniform’s sleeves also spattered with flour. Ciabatta (literally "carpet slipper") is an Italian white bread made with wheat flour and yeast. The loaf is somewhat elongated, broad and flattish. Its name is the Italian word for slipper. There are many variations of ciabatta. Ciabatta in its modern form was developed in 1982. Since the late 1990s it has been popular across Europe and in the United States, and is widely used as sandwich bread.

  • On a dark evening in the Welsh countryside eight ventilated hemispherical glasshouses called Solardomes have been 'painted' with gels and with coloured flash strobes while a torch has streaked whiter light in this scientific facility. Replicating climate change and its effects on plant-life, this experiment run by the University of Aberystwyth has run for 20 years, its research being invaluable to our understanding how rising levels of greenhouse gases (CO2) will affect photosynthesis and therefore plant food growth. By increasing the levels of such gasseous pollutants are we now more sure of how the biology in seminatural grasslands alters. Glowing red, the Solardomes sit like futuristic houses on another planet. Surrounding hills are dark on this evening but there is still detail in the fast-fading sky.

  • With royal crests, twelve boxes of Gordon’s special Dry Gin are stacked at a duty free logistics warehouse near Heathrow airport,  destined for departing passengers. There are six one and a half litre bottles inside these yellow boxes marked with the famous Gordon’s brand, produced in the United Kingdom and under license in other former British territories, owned by the alcohol company Diageo Plc. It was developed in London in 1769 by a Scot, Alexander Gordon. The Special London Dry Gin he developed proved successful, and its recipe remains unchanged to this day. Triple-distilled, the gin contains juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root and one other botanical ingredients though the recipe for Gordon's is known to only four people in the world and has been kept a secret for 200 years.nt transporting of goods in and out of this logistics hub.

  • A Supermarine Spitfire awaits refuelling with Avgas 100LL fuel at Farnborough International Airshow media launch. The pilot is the air show's Flight Operations Director Rod Dean who stands on the wing of this old WW2 warbird fighter of the British Royal Air Force, before the refueller man unhooks the nozzle from the bowser and hauls it across the concrete towards the aircraft. Hazardous and flammable signs are on the truck's rear. Avgas 100LL is a fuel designed for piston engines and is the most commonly used aviation fuel, dyed blue for easy visual identification. 100LL, spoken as "100 low lead", contains a small amount of tetra-ethyl lead (TEL), a lead compound that reduces gasoline's tendency to spontaneously explode (detonation or "knock") under high loads, high temperatures and high pressures - perfect for aerobatic performance flying.

  • 1,890 meters (6,200 feet) above sea level and surrounded by lush tea plantations in Sri Lanka's Hill Country district of Nuwara Eliya, women tea pickers bend over trees to harvest Ceylon tea leaves that are taken to the white building on the left for processing. A carpet of velvety green tea bushes stretch into the far distance. This is the heart of the island's tea industry but was a pleasure retreat of the European planters due to its temperate English climate that produces the finest leaves for the country's economy. Teas from this highest region are described as the champagne of Ceylon teas. The leaf is gathered all year round but the finest teas are made from that plucked in January and February. The best teas of the area give a rich, golden, excellent quality liquor that is smooth, bright, and delicately perfumed.

  • Verticrop is the UK's first and currently only vertical farm, the project, developed by Kevin Frediani at Paignton Zoo in Devon, is a revolutionary way to grow large amounts of food in small amounts of space. It uses coya instead of soil to hydroponically grow various green leaves for the animal's consumption in the zoo. This technology produces the same quantity of food as a 16 acre farm in a 50 foot by 75 foot area, and uses only 8% of the water of tradtional agriculture for the same crop. If used properly could be part of the solution to our pending global food crisis

  • Alpine brown cows graze in sunlit winter pasture on Inglebert Seger's Vaduz farm on the Liechtenstein valley floor. The nearest cow looks towards the viewer while the second is further away in the field of fresh green winter grass. Brown Swiss is the breed of dairy cattle that produces the second largest quantity of milk per annum, over 9,000 kg (20,000 lb). The milk contains on average 4% butterfat and 3.5% protein, making their milk excellent for production of cheese. Known mostly as a tax haven, much of Liechtenstein's terrain is mountainous, making it a winter sports destination. Many cultivated fields and small farms characterize its landscape both in the south (Oberland, upper land) and in the north (Unterland, lower land).

  • An Akha Oma woman from Ban Na Nam village eats sunflower seeds as a snack during a break from harvesting hill rice with a sickle. Upland rice is the main crop grown by Lao shifting cultivators but several other crops including sunflowers are often grown in smaller quantities in the same plot.  Slash and burn cultivation or ‘hai’ in Lao consists of cutting the natural vegetation, leaving it to dry and then burning it for temporary cropping of the land, the ash acting as a natural fertiliser. Shifting cultivation practices, although remarkably sustainable and adapted to their environment in the past, have come under increasing stress in recent decades and are now starting to be a major problem in Lao PDR, causing widespread deforestation and watershed degradation.

  • At the end of trading, tired brokers who used the 'open cry' form of communicating futures and commodity prices on the trading floor at the London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE) in the 1990s. The floor is also known as the bear pit where derivatives, options, futures and their contracts are exchanged in a frenzy of arm and hand expressions which communicate prices and quantities. The LIFFE exchange was synonymous with the Thatcherite capitalist money-making ethos in the City of London of the 80s and early 90s before the takeover by Euronext in January 2002.
