  • VW van parked opposite redundant farm buildings near Clarksdale. If you want to explore Clarksdale and the Blues country in true retro fashion the best place to do so is by staying at the Shack Up Inn. In The Promised Land: The Great Black Migration and How It Changed America, author Nicholas Lemman describes how, on Oct. 2, 1944, a crowd of 3,000 people quietly watched the first public demonstration of the mechanical cotton picker at Hopson's plantation in Clarksdale. At best, wrote Lemman, a skilled field hand could pick 20 pounds of cotton in an hour; the mechanical picker picked 1,000 pounds. Hopson calculated that a bale of cotton (500 pounds) cost $39.41 to pick by hand and $5.26 by machine. It wasn't too hard to foresee the future. Hopson was the first plantation to convert completely to the mechanical cotton pickers. Soon afterward, the sharecropper shacks where the plantation's workers had lived were abandoned and then torn down. But now they're back at the Shack Up Inn, Mississippi's oldest B&B -- and that's bed and beer, y'all. "We don't fool around with any fixing of breakfasts," said Bill Talbot, part owner of the inn.

  • Now an overgrown, mildew-ridden farm shack in woodland in Seething, Norfolk England, this wall mural was once one of the barracks housing 3,000 young World War 2 bomber crews so was probably painted by a young aspiring artist and aviator with the 448th Bomb Group, a fleet of bombers based in England from November 1943 to July 1945. The picture depicts a confrontation between US Air Force B-24 Liberators, a P-51 Mustang and probably a German Dornier. There are hairline cracks in the plaster but the yellow hue of the hand-painted wall is largely intact despite damp conditions in the shed. There are however, other artistic details now faded. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • David Reynolds (aka Eco) is a long-term activist, campaigner in the peace movement and resident of the Faslane Peace Camp, Scotland. His home of three years is called the Earth Shack and is largely re-cycled from scrap and garbage found locally on rubbish tips. Eco leans against his garden fence holding a mug of coffee this chilly Sunday morning. Signs of his political beliefs adorn the place: CND logos and Peace on Earth statements. His mother was a ‘Carnie’ (after the word Carnival, someone working on the fairgrounds) so perhaps it’s from her that he more enjoys an alternative outdoor camping lifestyle after a few years in the army. Faslane Peace Camp is a makeshift site alongside Faslane Naval base where Trident nuclear deterrent missiles and submarines dock. The camp has been occupied continuously, in a few different locations, since 1982.

There are perhaps defining moments on all big trips. Arriving in Vicksburg, Mississippi at dusk just as a  huge thunderstorm was beginning to break was one of them. It had been raining so hard, that an alligator had mistook the four-lane Interstate for the swollen Mississippi beside it and tragically met its death there. But as we drew into elegant Vicksburg, with its pillar-fronted houses on hilly streets, something astonishing happened. The sky, the result of a hot, setting sun, and the remains of a storm, was suddenly alive with an iridescent glow, so otherworldly, it looked like a space ship had landed. A rainbow stretched between two red brick towers, and you could just hear hear a steamer's horn, as it edged its way down the mighty Mississippi.

  • Now an overgrown, mildew-ridden farm shack in woodland in Seething, Norfolk England, this wall mural was once formed part of the barracks housing 3,000 young World War 2 bomber crews so was probably painted by a young aspiring artist and aviator with the USAAF's 448th Bomb Group, a fleet of bombers based in England from November 1943 to July 1945. The picture depicts a confrontation between US Air Force B-24 Liberators, a P-51 Mustang and probably a German Dornier. There are hairline cracks in the plaster but the yellow hue of the hand-painted wall is largely intact despite damp conditions in the shed. There are however, other artistic details now faded. After the war, the buildings reverted to agricultural use.

  • A young Nepali man peers out from a curtain to talk to an unseen neighbour in a remote village near Ulleri, in the Himalayan foothills, Nepal. It is a colourful (colorful) scene as the curtain fabric is a striking blue with mauve leaf motifs drawn in but it is a natural opposite colour against the badly-painted yellow wooden walls of his shack. Villages such as these partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing and also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary circuit, a sometimes rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak. Tea houses are dotted along the trail offering lodging, refreshments and basic, but delicious food to the weary traveller.

  • A Haitian sees the bright side as she sits outside her shelter erected opposite the Palace in Cham De Mars. The  choice of cloth for her shack is symbolic and many Haitians are grateful for the aid and support from the US. some  commentators, however,  believe the relationship with the US two hundred miles away,  is what needs to be looked at if things are to improve. One Haitian, Jocelyn, tells me:  "They (The American government)  take with one hand and give with the other.  They swamped Haiti with cheap rice imports putting farmers out of business and forcing them into the capital's slums where they have been aid dependent ever since"

  • Fishing piers using square nets (known as a Carrelet) overlooking the river Gironde estuary at Talmont-sur-Gironde, Charente-Maritime, France. Dotted along the banks of the Gironde Estuary are countless wooden fishing huts which have been built on stilts. Their main implement is a square-shaped pulley-operated net (or “filet carré”) which has given the humble shacks their name: “carrelets”. Talmont-sur-Gironde is a commune in the Charente-Maritime department in the Poitou-Charentes region, 5 km (9.3 mi) south of Royan, on a small promontory which dominates the Gironde estuary.
