  • The £18.2m Millennium Bridge (a Thames crossing linking the City of London at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Tate Modern Gallery at Bankside) was London's newest river crossing for 100-plus years and coincided with the Millennium, it was hurriedly finished and opened to the public on 10 June 2000 when an estimated 100,000 people crossed it to discover the structure oscillated so much that it was forced to close 2 days later. Over the next 18 months designers added dampeners to stop its wobble but it already symbolised what was embarrassing and failing in British pride. Now the British Standard code of bridge loading has been updated to cover the swaying phenomenon, referred to as Synchronous Lateral Excitation. Here a surveyor stands with legs spread peering into a tripod-mounted theodolite to measure its 370 metres (1,214 ft) steel length.

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.

  • View of tourists and local people crossing the Millennium Bridge with St Pauls Cathedral rising in the background, London. Londoners nicknamed the bridge the Wobbly Bridge after people felt an unexpected swaying motion on the first two days after the bridge opened. The bridge was closed later that day, and was closed for almost two years while modifications were made to eliminate the sway entirely.

  • With the Wren-designed St Paul's in the background, a cleaning crew with the contractor Conway wash down surfaces on the Millennium Bridge for the first time in its 15 year history. Workers in hi-vis clothing have climbed onto the bridge's suspension steel supports and have begun the large job to make the crossing across the river Thames a cleaner experience. Pedestrians walk across this footbridge linking Bankside with the City of London. Construction began in 1998 and it initially opened in June 2000. Londoners nicknamed the bridge the "Wobbly Bridge" after pedestrians initially felt an unexpected swaying motion.

  • Pedestrians walk in spring sunshine over the newly re-opened Millennium Bridge over London's River Thames, England. The £18.2m bridge, central London's first new river crossing (from tate Modern to St Paul's Cathedral) for more than a century, was opened on 10 June 2000 but was shut three days later because of what engineers called  the "synchronised footfall" - the swaying effect of hundreds of people stepping in unison. 91 dampers similar to shock absorbers were fitted allowing its re-opening in early 2002. We see here hundreds of visitors to the Bankside walking north and south across this convenient piece of engineering. Coincidentally, they walk on the same right side as drivers in the UK. Two businessmen walk closest to the viewer but elsewhere people look like tourists and pleasure-seekers.

  • During a time-exposure of a few seconds, the ambient neon and natural evening light of Miami Beach's Ocean Drive are mixed together to give an atmospheric mood of vitality, bustle and excitement in this tropical city. The vertical-aligned name of the famous Colony Hotel is seen through the darkened window of an SUV (4x4). Glowing pinks and blues are vivid in this scene where beautiful people and expensive cars cruise along slowly, each parading bodywork and personality. Palm trees sway about in the coastal breeze, blurring during the exposure and making them ghostly against the fading sky of early evening. This is vibrant district of Miami, Florida. The place to hang-out and be noticed.

  • Crowds of visitors and locals gather on the terrace of an Ocean Drive cafe in Miami Beach. It is early evening and we see the blurred people moving about over the picture during a time-exposure of a few seconds. The colours of ambient neon lights that these streets are well-known for have become very vivid with bright pinks and reds a main feature of this scene. A menu board listing cocktail drinks prices stands on the sidewalk. Candles have been lit in glass jars on table tops.
