  • A night view of the green Yorkshire Moors countryside looking down from a nearby hill to the top secret intelligence-gathering base of RAF Menwith Hill, near Harrogate, Yorkshire, England. One sees the lights of passing traffic past  surreal-looking white radomes in the shape of golf balls - each containing a satellite dish - that are dotted across the science-fiction landscape. Many of these are used for signals interception from communications satellites and are commonly thought to be part of ECHELON, a highly secretive world-wide signals intelligence and analysis network. Other parts of this notorious  site are thought to be used by the Space Based Infrared System employed by the US National Missile Defence program. The base has attracted significant levels of protest from anti-nuclear and pacifist groups.

  • RAF Fylingdales is a British Royal Air Force station high on Snod Hill in the North York Moors, England. Before their demolition by Ministry of Defence contractors this early attack warning Cold War facility, consisted of three 40-metre-diameter 'golfballs' or geodesic domes (radomes) containing mechanically steered radar. They became a local tourist attraction and coach tours drove past the site listening to the interference on radios emitted by the radomes. They have since been replaced by the current tetrahedron ('pyramid') structure and is still a secret location. Its Motto is "Vigilamus" ("We are watching"). It is now a radar base and part of the United States-controlled Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS).

  • Beneath an ugly breeze block concrete wall, a couple are enjoying their holiday in the English seaside town of Paignton, Devon. Sitting in striped deckchairs they are both curiously touching their own genital areas between their legs, perhaps both scratching an itch. The lady in sunglasses wearing a floral dress on the left looks guilty while her topless male partner appears more amused by the interruption. In this depressing corner of Paignton, also called the English Riviera, the grey construction behind them is a grim reminder of what it is often like to holiday in one's own home country where few exotic luxuries are found. Such squalor is unfortunately common around the UK and a reason why people take their vacations abroad. Even the grass below them is bare with weeds growing and soil at the foot of the wall.

The owner of these discs has nonetheless recklessly tipped them in a now rain soaked box and left them to be seen or taken by passes-by.

  • An aerial detail of a diagonal film strip and many coils of undeveloped, generic 35mm film emulsion, collected before disposal. Film is an antiquated analogue technology that has been largely replaced by the remarkable digital mega pixel camera and the process of recording photographic images and their safe-keeping is fast-becoming lost as a skill. The square holes to the top and bottom are for the camera winder to grasp on to, allowing the film to advance to the next frame inside the light-tight camera body. This film is unprocessed, having been removed from its cassette for display.

  • Security employed by contractor OCS searches a passenger at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. Teams of 5-8 perform a rotational order of tasks, changing every 20 minutes: A loader (asking travellers to take off clothing, shoes etc); archway detectors; X-ray operator; liquid tester and bag searcher. The X-ray operator can earn a £50 bonus for a suspect item randomly inserted by undercover officials and known as an Airlock Find. Also, a Tip is a random image flashed on the screen that shows a suspect item they have to spot. A typical day of searched passengers is 25,000 passengers in T5. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • A female security officer has spotted an abandoned bag with the words 'Giraffe To Go' on the side, inside a lift of Heathrow airport's Terminal 5. The woman talks urgently but calmly using her walkie-talkie. She needs to report it to her controllers as a suspicious package but may turn out to be an innocent lunch bag left by a hurrying and absent-minded passenger, realising their flight is about to close, instead of a bomb left by a malicious terrorist. The lady bends down to give as accurate description as she can before airport police arrive to determine how serious the treat is and possibly order a costly evacuation. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • An example of an early 17th-century cottage, built of stone and clom (a mixture of clay, horse hair, and cow dung). Originally thatched, it is now fitted with a corrugated tin roof to save having to maintain straw thatching.  Llanerchaeron House has several holiday cottages in the grounds, their energy saving changes include extra insulation and biomass boilers. Here is an early 17th-century Clom (mud constructed walls), stone and thatch cottage, nowadays with a corrugated tin roof. The National Trust has cut energy use in its Wales region by a massive 41% over just two years, demonstrating that even the most sensitive buildings can be made much more energy efficient. Secrets of success include a combination of efficiency measures, sustainable heating technologies and culture change. As well as cutting down on energy use it has also installed renewable sources of energy, including solar PV and hydro power.

  • An example of an early 17th-century cottage, built of stone and clom (a mixture of clay, horse hair, and cow dung). Originally thatched, it is now fitted with a corrugated tin roof to save having to maintain straw thatching.  Llanerchaeron House has several holiday cottages in the grounds, their energy saving changes include extra insulation and biomass boilers. Here is an early 17th-century Clom (mud constructed walls), stone and thatch cottage, nowadays with a corrugated tin roof. The National Trust has cut energy use in its Wales region by a massive 41% over just two years, demonstrating that even the most sensitive buildings can be made much more energy efficient. Secrets of success include a combination of efficiency measures, sustainable heating technologies and culture change. As well as cutting down on energy use it has also installed renewable sources of energy, including solar PV and hydro power.

  • Masatsugu Okutani, 41 performs a waterfall purification ceremony at Kiyo-Taki waterfall. Purification is one of the most important aspects of Shinto as well as being at the core of Japanese culture. There are many different ways to purify oneself. Amongst them: The Grand purification ceremony conducted at the end of June and end of December each year. Purification at water fountain before entering any given sanctuary, also purification at waterfalls, rivers or at sea. The concept of purification is completely different to the one considered by western societies. In Japan, to purify means removing ones rationality and maximize ones sensitivity, and the condition of purifying is when one’s sensitivity is maximized. The reason why sensitivity is important is because there is no rationality in nature and one’s sensitivity is the source and the core of vital force. In this sense, when Japanese say purification, there is no link or reference with so-called sin in the Christian sense. Among Japanese culture, this is the core and commonality. For example, Japanese tea ceremony. The objective is to become one with the host and guest which is impossible, but is possible when both could maximize their sensitivities because when it maximized, there is no feeling of individual, no feeling of time.

  • Piled river bed stones on the River Calder in Glen Bauchor, Newtonmore, Scotland. An artist has spent many hours in this tranquil place, sourcing and selecting the right stones to pile up vertically on top of each other. Rock balancing can be a performance art, a spectacle, or devotion, depending upon the interpretation by its audience. Essentially, it involves placing some combination of rock or stone in arrangements that require patience and sensitivity to generate, and which appear to be physically impossible while actually being only highly improbable.
