  • Layering water reed on to the roof of a Suffolk cottage, traditional thatchers work together in afternoon sun. While in the background new straw is brought up onto the roof while in the foreground another thatcher leans into the ladder and the roof’s slope. Using a thatching tool called a Leggett, Legate, bat or dresser to position the thatch on the roof. Typically one end is treated so as to catch the ends of the reed used. This tool is used by the thatcher to dress the reed into place and ensure an even finish. Using techniques developed over thousands of years, good thatch will not require frequent maintenance. In England a ridge will normally last 10–15 years. Thatching is the craft of building a roof with dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge, rushes and heather, layering the vegetation so as to shed water away from the inner roof.

  • Using techniques developed over thousands of years, a portrait of traditional thatchers with straw for a barn roof in Suffolk, England. In England a ridge will normally last 10–15 years. Thatching is the craft of building a roof with dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge (Cladium mariscus), rushes and heather, layering the vegetation so as to shed water away from the inner roof. It is a very old roofing method and has been used in both tropical and temperate climates. Thatch is still the choice of affluent people who desire a rustic look for their home or who have purchased an originally thatched abode.

  • An elderly-looking couple sail away into the distance on the Norfolk Broads at Potter Heigham, Norfolk, England. With a large red sail hoisted on a slow breeze, the sailors progress at a sedate pace past reed beds in one of the National Nature Reserves (NNR) designated by Natural England as key places for wildlife and natural features in England. The Broads are a network of mostly navigable rivers and lakes in the English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. The total area is 303 square kilometres (117 sq mi), most of which is in Norfolk, with over 200 kilometres (120 mi) of navigable waterways. There are seven rivers and 63 broads, mostly less than 4 metres (13 ft) deep. Thirteen broads are generally open to navigation, with a further three having navigable channels.

  • Three teenage boys bait their lines in the calm of the River Wandle, one of London's lost rivers that still meanders through inner-city London on its course from Carshalton Pond to the Thames. The three lads are reflected in the ripples of this once-polluted water which was once flushed with the toxins of industry such as tanning factories and breweries. After expensive clean-ups by local authorities, kids like these are once again able to catch trout in the way boys like them would do hundreds of years before the industrial revolutiion fouled many a water course. It is a perfect later-summer afternoon and the sun is shining on waterside reeds and grasses making this a scene of idyllic boyhood and undusturbed lazy dreams.

  • A female mute swan (pen) incubates her eggs on a nest surrounded by plastic bags waste, in an urban water basin. Tower blocks are seen across the water in the distance. She shares the nest with wrappers and bottles, bags and cans tossed from a nearby walkway and perhaps drifted on the water from this urban basin in London's Docklands. The mute swan, which is the white swan most commonly seen in the British Isles, will normally mate at anytime from spring through to summer, with the cygnets being born anytime from May through to July. A swan's nest takes 2-3 weeks and the egg laying process begins with an egg being laid every 12-24 hours. They will all be incubated (ie sat on to start the growth process) at the same time with hatching usually 42 days (6 weeks) later.

  • Traditional houseboats on the backwaters as Kerala, India<br />
<br />
The Kerala backwaters are a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast (known as the Malabar Coast) of Kerala state in southern India. The network includes five large lakes linked by canals, both manmade and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and extending virtually half the length of Kerala state. The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range.<br />
The Kerala Backwaters are a network of interconnected canals, rivers, lakes and inlets, a labyrinthine system formed by more than 900 km of waterways, and sometimes compared to the American Bayou.[1] In the midst of this landscape there are a number of towns and cities, which serve as the starting and end points of backwater cruises

  • The ferry crossing the River Yare on the Norfolk Broads. The Reedham Ferry is a vehicular chain ferry which crosses the River Yare in Norfolk. It crosses the river near the village of Reedham, forming the only crossing point between the city of Norwich and Great Yarmouth and saving users a journey of more than 30 miles. The current ferry was built in 1984, was designed and built at Oulton Broad by the late Fred Newson & the present owner. The ferry can carry up to 3 cars at a time and can carry a maximum weight of 12 tonnes. There has been a crossing at Reedham since the early 17th Century. The ferry boat in 1949 was still being hand-wound across the river yare until early 1950 when the ferry became motorised. The hours of operation are from 7.30AM to 10.00PM Monday to Fridays and 8.00AM to 10.00 Saturdays and Sundays, summer and winter alike.

  • This photographic artwork depicting a young boy fills the entire side of a four-storey terrace in Herbrand Street, Bloomsbury - but it has not necessarily impressed those living nearby.<br />
The image, which has been printed on paper and pasted onto the property's side wall, is by a French artist known as "JR", whose work currently features in an exhibition of street art at Tate Modern.<br />
JR told a local newspaper: "It's a mural, it's there for a period of time and can come off very easily. If people don't like it they can criticise it or scratch it off.<br />
"It's not my piece of art any more, it's in the street for everybody."<br />
The image is expected to be removed in the next few days but it has been condemned by the Bloomsbury conservation area advisory committee.<br />
Chairman Bill Reed said: "While many sites can benefit from this sort of thing, a listed building in a conservation area definitely doesn't."
