  • The faces on a construction site hoarding peer over a contractor's pile of tarmac in the back of a small truck, on the corner of Limeburner Lane and Ludgate Hill, EC4. A man appears to be looking at the small pile of tarmac with a doubtful expression and others look towards the viewer. The construction and development company Skanska is responsible for its design, maintaining a clean and tidy site, separating the dangers of the site and Londoners at street level.

  • A wide landscape of damp hillsides and moorland as a lone cyclist struggles uphill near a road landslide at the foot of Mam Tor in the in the Derbyshire Peak District National Park. The bikers have struggled up this incline near the Blue John Cavern, a well-known location where visitors can descend into the cave system, one of many in this limestone and gritstone region of central England. The white lines of the highway have split as the tarmac drops away downhill. It's surface has been undermined as if seismic activity has occurred, an earthquake destroying this route high up in the mountains. But this is area is actually stable geologically and the slippage is probably caused by bad foundations and by recent heavy rain.

  • Western playing in the breakfast room of a motel in Senatobia  just off route 55.TN. Part of the attraction of a road trip is just hitting the tarmac and seeing where you will end up. When the budget doesn’t run to a  fabulous hotel you can always plump for rough and ready and possibly film noir  at the thousands of bargain priced motels around the states. One can normally get clean sheets and a comfortable bed for the night but if not it all adds to the classic road trip experience.

  • 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.

  • Lonely tree in Clarksdale seems to echo the loneliness of the blues heritage in the town. Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Bessie Smith and ZZ Top are some of the many musicians who have put Clarksdale on the map: with its own blues museum on Blues Alley it is no surprise to hear that  Clarksdale it is famous for being ‘the birth place of the Blues’. However the cotton pickers migration north after the introduction of mechanization  took  something of the blues soul with them with the blues museum as important an institution as any of the remaining blues joints .

With the cotton pickers migration north after the introduction of mechanization it is no surprise that something of the blues soul has left with them.

  • A red warning flag flies on the perimeter during military live firing at Otterburn Ranges, on 28th September 2017, in Otterburn, Northumberland, England. Twenty-three per cent of Northumberland National Park is owned by the Ministry of Defence and used as a military training area though they encourage as much access to the area as possible. Sometimes areas are cordoned off from the public for military exercises. Visitors are welcome outside of live firing times if no red flags are displayed. When military exercises are happening, red flags around the boundaries indicate restricted access. Visitors are told not to pick up, kick or remove any object and not to stray off the public rights of way or tarmac roads.

  • Peculiar warning sign to buses for Rutting, worn road surfaces. The pun is centered around the word 'Rutting' which also involves the innuendo of sexual activity - or 'the mating of a stag'. travellers wait for buses at this bus stop on Waterloo Bridge in central London. It's located on the Southbank, known in history as a destination for brothels and places of ill repute and Londoners from the City on the north bank would take a river taxi to frequent these places. But the sign also warns bus drivers of the danger from an uneven road surface, a result of partially melted or displaced tarmac causing ruts in the road - hence the pun.
