  • Giant neon rooftop sign spells out the Chinese character name for the electronics company ‘Sharp’.

  • Having just unearthed more bodies from layers of volcanic ash and pumice, an archaeologist's assistant pauses for a cigarette, kneeling beside a victim of the AD79 eruption of Mount Versuvius over the ancient Roman town of Pompeii. Buried beneath huge amounts of toxic material this person was suffocated and crushed from falling debris. Preserved in a shell of volcanic material it is to be removed from this site on top of a villa roof where, it is calculated, this citizen was one of the last to die, having climbed 4 metres above ground level to await its fate. The Italian man ears a red t-shirt and holds a pick that has scraped and brushed away the soil to reveal the human form which also shows another body beneath. Others litter the rooftop too proving that many survivors of the first eruption perished after the second many hours later.

It was designed to receive television signals from Nepal's main TV station is Nepal Television (NTV) whose programmes are mostly serials from Pakistan and Hindi films. Nepalis however, search the wider-world for their news digest and western culture, especially during governmental crackdown and censorship during the democracy protest disturbances of 2006. King Gyanendra imposed severe media restrictions after assuming direct control of the country the previous year. The scene is of new technology in the backdrop of a poor, third world country who freedoms of expression and experience of western democracy has been tested in recent years.

  • In heavy monsoonal rain, crowds gather at the stroke of midnight beneath umbrellas to witness the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover" on June 30, 1997. Midnight signified the end of British rule, and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China. From the on the roof of Ocean Terminal shopping mall, the skyline is filled with fireworks but the glowing red comes from giant advertising lettering behind the viewer on the top floor of the building which protrudes out into Hong Kong harbour from the Kowloon side of the territory.  Hong Kong was once known as 'fragrant harbour' (or Heung Keung) because of the smell of transported sandal wood.

  • In heavy monsoonal rain, crowds gather beneath umbrellas on the roof of Ocean Terminal to witness the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover" on June 30, 1997. Midnight signified the end of British rule, and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China. A cruise liner is moored s small distance away but the glowing red comes from giant advertising lettering on the top floor of the shopping mall which protrudes out into Hong Kong harbour from the Kowloon side of the territory.  Hong Kong was once known as 'fragrant harbour' (or Heung Keung) because of the smell of transported sandal wood.

  • Aerial view of suburban Edwardian semi-detached houses in a south London street. We look down across the residential road in the borough of Lambeth where cars are parked and the sun shines on to the bay windows and roofs of middle-class houses built around the time of the first world war and whose building workforce probably did not return.

  • Travellers look on from a roof of one of their homes as the situation develops. Protesters who barricaded themselves above the entrance to the Dale Farm travellers' site have been removed by police as bailiffs prepare to move in. Essex Police cleared the scaffolding structure so it could be dismantled and machinery driven in by bailiffs to evict the travellers. On Wednesday night Essex Police said that over the course of the day 23 people had been arrested. Clearance of Dale Farm prior to eviction. Riot police and bailiffs were present on 19th October 2011, as a scaffolding gantry was cleared of protesters so the site could be cleared.

  • In light monsoonal rain, a lone pedestrian is seen from a high viewpoint, crossing a zebra crossing with a yellow grid box junction to his right in Central Hong Kong on the last day of British rule. The junction is empty and without any traffic but the word 'Look' is stencilled in white letters for the benefit of unwary pedestrians. An umbrella used by the unrecognisable person is a colour match with the painted striped road markings, identical to the British highway traffic code. The transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover" occurred at midnight on June 30, 1997, signifying the end of British rule, and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China. Hong Kong was once known as 'fragrant harbour' (or Heung Keung) because of the smell of transported sandal wood.
