  • A bucket (pale) of smokers' cigarette butts have been extinguished in a London back street alleyway. Stubbed out in sand to prevent them reigniting for safety reasons, the fags (English slang for cigarettes) echo the steel pegs on the ground.

  • Seen from behind as they stop at dotted give-way lines on this empty road junction, we see a strange perspective of deserted housing and empty roads, Jen West and her elderly wheelchair-bound mother Margaret - both residents of the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. As if they are pedestrians about cross a busy highway, it is an incongruous scene of irony. Poundbury is the visionary model village that Charles, Prince of Wales sought to develop in 1993 as a successful and pioneering town near Dorchester, built on land owned by his own Duchy of Cornwall, challenging otherwise poor post-war trends in town planning and to some extent following the New Urbanism concept from the US except that the design influences are European.

  • A Christmas tree glows in a warm window of a rural house seen from outside in bleak temperatures during mid-winter snows in England. In deep blue light we experience from the feel of this picture, the rawness of deep winter, the icy conditions where an unseen country-living family are safe indoors. The property is a cottage on a quiet road in the Mendip hills, southeast of the city of Bristol in western England. It is during the Christmas holiday period and families, who are lucky to have reached their homes during very difficult weather, are now enjoying the solitude and tranquillity of a peaceful life - away from the metropolis. Their brick wall is topped with snow and the light from the burglar alarm shows the security system is active. We also see the bleak landscape of bare trees and the remote icy road.

  • A young deer lies dead beside a busy highway on a road near Fairchild Air Force Base, Spokane, Washington State. Very recently run-over but seemingly unharmed, this animal has head injuries and died immediately from a collision with a passing vehicle, such as this heavy articulated lorry which blurrs past this location. This is forested area and the deer's natural habitat but too often wildlife in its natural surroundings violently meets the modern human environment and the animal comes of worst. As a result of the death, the roadkill was taken by members of a US Air Force survival course at their nearby facility and so it formed an unscheduled extra lesson in preparing venison for the pot that night (see Corbis image entitled 'US Air Force survival instructors with recent roadkill').

  • A pedestrian is about to step out across a central London street, crossing the words Look Right as a taxi cab turns left. Seen in black and white, we see snowflakes frozen by flash on this urban street corner in the City of London, the heart of the capital's financial district. The stencil words tell walkers to watch oncoming cars, easy to miss when not concentrating and the cause of many injuries (mainly to tourists) to those not used to traffic on the opposite side of the road to the rest of Europe.

  • BAE System Hawks of the Red Arrows, Britain's RAF aerobatic team and airfield signs landscape. Six Hawk jet aircraft of the elite team, taxi in after another training flight past warning boards that are appropriate for armed jet fighters at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus rather than aerobatic planes. From a low angle we see a wide landscape looking over the taxi-way markings that direct military airplanes. The Red Arrows aircraft are a deep red colour that stand out against the horizon in an identical line. It is a wide expanse of road surface, the yellow centre-lines are for the benefit of pilots who need guidance for parking areas after landing, or leaving towards the departing runway on the southern part of the Cypriot Mediterranean island. With the Red Arrows, the  taxiing jets all peel off in unison to and from the parking area and these lines are vital for this technique.

  • Early morning looking East along Oxford Street from Marble Arch, on 16th April 2020 in London, United Kingdom. Normally crowded with people, London is like a ghost town as workers stay home under lockdown during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Normally crowded with people London is like a ghost town as workers stay home under lockdown during the Coronavirus pandemic. During the second half of the 1820s, the Commissioners of Woods and Forests and the King resolved that Hyde Park, and the area around it, must be renovated to the extent of the splendour of rival European capital cities, and that the essence of the new arrangement would be a triumphal approach to Buckingham Palace. Changes to the road layout in the 1990s reinstated a route between Hyde Park and the Green Park for pedestrians, cyclists and horseriders using surface-level crossings.

  • Using a bloodied knife and hand, an instructor of a special US Air Force (USAF) survival course who has butchered road kill deer. Near their facility at Fairchild AFB, Spokane, Washington State, the man teaches escape and evasion techniques to visiting air crew whose flying careers depend on passing this rigorous week of survival instruction. Should they be downed in hostile territory for example, they will need every skill learned here to survive possibly weeks being hunted in the wilderness so trapping and preparing fresh meat for human consumption is important for survival. Here the teachers stand around the venison that is strung up on a branch, its intestines and organs already removed by a hunting knife.

  • A Christmas tree glows in a warm window of a rural house seen from outside in bleak temperatures during mid-winter snows in England. In deep blue light we experience from the feel of this picture, the rawness of deep winter, the icy conditions where an unseen country-living family are safe indoors. The property is a cottage on a quiet road in the Mendip hills, southeast of the city of Bristol in western England. It is during the Christmas holiday period and families, who are lucky to have reached their homes during very difficult weather, are now enjoying the solitude and tranquillity of a peaceful life - away from the metropolis. Their brick wall is topped with snow and the light from the burglar alarm shows the security system is active
