He has a bunch of keys attached to his belt and is pointing a video camera (camcorder) towards the shore. It is a comical scene and typical of Blackpool beach life.

  • A pile of assorted ropes and fibrous cord and fishing pots await removal from the coastal landscape, having been collected by volunteers from a beach on Holy Island, on 27th September 2017, on Lindisfarne Island, Northumberland, England. The amount of rubbish found dumped on UK beaches rose by a third last year, according to a new report. More than 8,000 plastic bottles were collected by the Marine Conservation Society’s annual beach clean-up at seaside locations from Orkney to the Channel Islands on one weekend in September 2016.

  • Forest and coastline at a cove on the island of Principe, Sao Tome and Principe<br />
Sao Tome and Principe, are two islands of volcanic origin lying off the coast of Africa. Settled by Portuguese convicts in the late 1400s and a centre for slaving, their independence movement culminated in a peaceful transition to self government from Portugal in 1975.

  • Schoolboys get dressed after an afternoon off from classes, spent next to the western Palace Pier at the seaside town of Brighton. Pulling on socks is a young lad from a nearby school whose uniform is a red blazer and striped tie. With their clothing of their friends still lie on the shngle, their afternoon of play day is coming to an end. In the background is the western Palace Pier, a major landmark on this south coast resort. Ofsted's guidelines are that for children of 9-12, a ratio of one adult to 8 young people is a requirement.

  • A father chases a runaway tyre (tire) along the wet sand before it crashes into the man's young child, otherwise unaware of the impending impact. Chasing the object is the priority on this winter day at Whitley Bay, a North-Eastern English seaside town. The beach is dark and it has been raining but father and child are enjoying the freedom and common bond during this outdoor game. Waves of the icy North Sea crash onto the seafront and the child is preoccupied with the force of nature and the exhilaration of being outside in the cold.

  • The fishing fleet of Tarbert on Scotland's Mull of Kintyre lies moored at the dock of this pretty coastal village in the Western Isles. Their colourful hulls shine in late afternoon sunshine as they are tied up awaiting another outing at sea to provide for this small fishing community a living and a livelihood for its families. But in the foreground sit a young couple whose prospects are not so positive: they rest on a bench in silhouette, one smoking a cigarette while turned to the friend who stares out to distant rolling hills. It is a scene of hopelessness that reflects modern life for the youth in remote communities where jobs are scarce and their futures far from secure. In an otherwise idyllic Scottish landscape, we guess at the disintegration of society up here - the scourge of economic downturn and future social problems.

  • A mid-morning mist sweeps across the seafront's South Beach at Scarborough, the seaside town in North Yorkshire. Kids run about on the wet sand, some leaping and some just carrying buckets of salt water for sandcastles elsewhere. With the freedom and open-space, children who perhaps live in bleak industrial towns in northern England can enjoy the fresh-air on this north-eastern coast. Their reflections are also seen on the shiny sand and although it appears to be as grim as their home may be, it is in fact a warm day but the daily sea fogs that roll across this beach, a microclimate exists and is unique to this area.

  • A young boy peers over a clump of vegetation to spy on four beautiful women who are all lying face-down in a sandy dune near the seaside resort of `Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. The girls are oblivious to the attention he is giving them and he cheekily stands, undiscovered, with hands on hips. The four females are in bathing costumes and one is topless with their possessions strewn about the sand. It is a hot afternoon in the sand dunes and the girls are in an otherwise secluded, windless spot. They remain unaware they are being watched by a pre-pubescent voyeur.

  • Despite a gloriously bright summer afternoon, we see a depressing corner of Southend-on-Sea's Adventure Island. A young couple sits on some white towels in front of a wall that is adorned with graffiti and has its paint rubbed away. It is a scene of squalor and desolation in a town that makes revenue from the day-tripper holiday market. Since Victorian times, many Londoners have traditionally come to this south-east coast on the Thames Estuary, close to the capital. Towns like this have seen a marked decline since the advent of the package tourism in favour of exotic beaches in Spain.

  • A wife gives an tight, affectionate hug to her husband on the Promenade at North Bay, Scarborough, North Yorkshire. There is no such showing of reciprocated love from the man who continues to read a cricket report in the sports page of his tabloid newspaper. She is wearing a floral summer top and he is topless. In the background we see a bustling sea front. People are walking along the Prom, enjoying the sun and warmth of this usually chilly area of Britain.

  • An unrecognisable bather wearing a stripy costume bends over awkwardly to adjust his towel on the promenade pavement (sidewalk) at Minehead, Devon. The man's reddened posterior is pointed towards the viewer and his dachshund (sausage) pet dog stands still looking away to the right, towards unseen interest. A family of four stroll along the sandy beach during low tide. It is a hot afternoon but we only see a quiet scene at this busy resort.

  • An unseen person's hand reaches from the corner of the picture to offer a chip (French fry) to a hovering seagull at Minehead on the Somerset coast, South-west England. Another younger person has turned around to see what is happening but is also holding up his hand to other birds  none of the others are accepting the free meal. The summer afternoon sky is filled with bird life but clear of clouds and is a deep coastal blue which echoes the reaching shirt sleeve.

  • With his personal belongings and beach shingle surrounding him, a man sits on his seaside towel in soft sunlight in Dover eating a snack which is dribbling out of his mouth. The skin from many previous hours of exposure to solar radiation has left him raw and sunburned and therefore dried and dying skin is peeling in shreds on his back and shoulder. He looks like an eccentric local character who seems oblivious to the health risks that his continued sunbathing is inflicting on his bizarrely scorched body.

  • Standing against strong Autumnal afternoon light, two police officers from an unknown constabulary, guard one entrance to the venue where the Conservative (Tory) Party Conference is being held, at the Bournemouth International Centre that overlooks the sea in Dorset, England. In 1990, the terrorist threat came from Irish Republicans (IRA) rather than Islamist extemists and credible threats proved to be correct, that these idealists wanted to assassinate Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Police cordons were therefore an efficient method of controlling and restricting access to those without the proper delegates' or media accreditation. The most striking figure is the male officer in the foreground whose profile is prominent because of his traditional police helmet.

  • It is dawn in Calcutta, West Bengal, India and on the West bank of the Hooghly River the sun is rising from across the Howrah Bridge. A man has waded out into waist-deep water and stands in the polluted river saying his prayers and offering thanks to his Hindu Gods. He has found inner-peace, a tranquillity surrounded by the chaotic pace of Indian life in this city. The engineering of the bridge stretches across the water as the humanity cross to their businesses and markets. The bridge is one of three on the Hooghly River and is a famous symbol of Kolkata and West Bengal. Bearing the daily weight of approximately 150,000 vehicles and 4,000,000 pedestrians. It is one of the longest bridges of its type in the world. The Hooghly River is an approximately 260 km long distributary of the Ganges River.

  • A couple of mixed-race have put their heads through the apertures made in a painting that depicts Prince Albert and Queen Victoria, on the Palace Pier at Brighton, on the south coast of England. The faces peep through this traditional attraction that few can resist, even in the 21st century. The man’s face looks disturbingly incongruous in the place where the Prince Consort’s white German character would be. There is a message here of a changing multi-cultural British society where these friends or partners are from other ethnic backgrounds and where mixed-marriages are now commonplace, as opposed to the Victorian era when attitudes to racism and race-relations were vastly different.

  • An elderly gentleman has just emerged from a swim in the cold waters off Paignton, the seaside town in Devon, south-west England. Still to towel himself down, he looks chilled to the bone but stands talking to friends out of view. The man wears dark trunks (costume) and has a large belly but otherwise looks fit and healthy, a true picture of health for a man of his age, after swimming in these seas for many years and enjoying the endorphins that are stimulated after wild, outdoor swims.

  • Household refuse pollutes a coral beach on Meedu Island, an indigenous community in the Republic of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Packaging, foodstuffs and general waste has been tossed away on this otherwise beautiful place, north of the capital Male. Unfortunately, the practice of tossing away one's rubbish is a normal practice in this culture, the local people selfishly unconcerned about the future of their habitat and the health of their community. Only a few miles from Meedu are islands that serve as holiday resorts where families from Europe travel by air for the perffect vacation - unaware that fly-tipping is so widespread that it threatens this nation's worldwide status as a paradise on earth.

  • A group of young boys play in the calm waters of the Indian Ocean on Meedu Island, in the Republic of the Maldives. The shallows are a safe playground for these kids who swim and splash about in the clear shallows next to two small dhoni boats often used to fish using traditional hand and line, an important source of income for remote communities in this island nation. The sea is perfectly clear blue and the sand coral-white, in jeopardy to rising sea levels as global warming makes sea level locations like this vulnerable to flooding. The Maldives comprise of twenty-six atolls, featuring 1,192 coral islands of which 80 are holiday resorts with 200 inhabited by indigenous communities. This Islamic nation of 298 sq km (115 sq miles), lie seven hundred kilometres (435 miles) south-west of Sri Lanka.

  • A solo teenage player takes a shot at the net on a basketball court at the Cyprea Marine Foods (CMF) processing factory on Himmafushi Island, Maldives in the Indian Ocean. It is dusk near the equator and soon dark. The landscape is barren except for some young trees on the waterfront where two people are walking in the cool tropical air. Seen in the last, darkening light of day, the player leaps upwards and his arm stays where his ball left his hand to roll around the ring. The man is enjoying some leisure time at the end of his working day, possibly an employee of CMF who handle newly-caught tuna fish for export to the EU and the UK's supermarket food industry.

  • It is morning in Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India and on the West bank of the Hooghly River the banks are busy with bathing men with the Howrah Bridge beyond. The bathers are either drying themselves after washing in the river, or are undressing to do so. It is a scene of inner-peace, a tranquillity surrounded by the chaotic pace of Indian life in this city. The engineering of the bridge stretches across the water towards the city beyond. The bridge is one of three on the Hooghly River and is a famous symbol of Kolkata and West Bengal. Bearing the daily weight of approximately 150,000 vehicles and 4,000,000 pedestrians.

  • The last moments of street lighting illuminates the pavement and road as dawn breaks over the shoreline on the untidy and empty seafront in Nea Makri, a coastal town near Athens on the Marathon road. This town is the original route that the Athenian messenger Pheidippides ran in 490BC to deliver news of the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of (Marathonas) Marathon. Nowadays, this is a rather unattractive town with few echoes of Greece's ancient glories although the 29th modern Olympic circus came home in 2004. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past.

  • As if separated by many decades, we see an older generation beach guard from a bygone era and a much younger lifeguard, both resting on the seafront of the posh Essex seaside town of Frinton-on-Sea, England. If simply comparing the colour schemes of the past, to the modern day, we might guess that in the gentleman on the right’s day, people wore more formal blues, with collar and tie and polished shoes on the hottest day - reminiscent of Victorian times when pomp and tradition rather than practicalities were important . Nowadays, complimentary reds and yellows adorn the uniform of the lad trained in water injuries and life-saving. He is barefoot and sits comfortably against the sea defence wall in peak cap and t-shirt. This is a scene describing the generation gap, of youth versus experience - the classic English seaside holiday.
