  • A local man carries electric cabling uphill on the Annapurna Sanctuary trekking route in central Nepal. With few roads that can transport supplies and raw materials up to remote foothill communities, the only way is often to carry what one needs on the back or by yak. The paths are even but often very steep in places so stamina and endurance are needed to get even modest weights uphill. Nepalis up here often want newer technology and basic electricity to power lights and showers although solar power is another answer.

  • A wide landscape of damp hillsides and moorland as two cyclists struggle uphill 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.

  • A four year-old girl pulls at her mother's t-shirt as she pushes a pushchair uphill while her two year-old brother in turn pushes her up the incline of a street in Rennes, Brittany, France.

The three are on holiday in this town, during a vacation to Britanny. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released.

  • As blue dawn light brightens to become another wintry day in south London  a commuter awaits the arrival of a distant red bus to climb a slippery hill. Standing by the timetable of the bus stop on Red Post Hill  in the borough of Southwark  traffic approaches slowly on a road that controversially  appears not to have been gritted properly for vehicles to maintain a proper grip on this snowy surface. Headlights point uphill and the freshly-fallen snow has started to freeze so wheel and tyre traction will prove ever-difficult for those trying to journey to work.

  • A P4 bus service destination Lewisham Station climbs Herne Hill early after fresh overnight snowfall in the south London area. During a mid-winter morning, when commuters are struggling to reach their work places, the capital also finds it hard for transport and infrastructure to keep running as normal. With its headlights on half-beam, the snow is still making this hill treacherous to climb as this heavy vehicle again starts from the bus stop, having lost its traction on the slippery road surface. A passenger alights, carefully stepping down from the bus onto the snowy kerb as other people walk uphill, preferring to make their own way. The snow rests on surrounding Victorian house roofs and in the distance; it is a bleak day in the misty urban light where high-rise flats (apartments) can be seen.

  • High in the Nepali Himalayan foothills, travellers may be greeted by the welcoming relief of a group of mountain inns and hotels offering lodging to weary legs after many hours walking uphill in this gruelling landscape. Communities here partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing but also on the passing tourist trade.

To be greeted by so much choice is the most rewarding experience and the offer of hot showers is about the best reward for so much exertion.

  • Three silhouetted walkers (two women and one male) near the top of a hill near the village of Churchill, North Somerset, England. The image has only three tones, graduating from dark at the bottom, becoming lighter to the top. It is late in the day and the light is soft and warm in colour and the friends make their way up the gradient in single-file, each striding with legs apart as they climb the hill forming part of the Mendips. It is a scene of tranquillity, the landscape is peaceful and unspoilt for outdoor countryside pursuits like walking, one of the fastest-growing leisure activities in Britain for people who take advantage of rural England.

Stretching to climb the rock, the lad of 10 uses his hand and walking stick to balance as he puts a boot higher to gain a sure footing. There is ample covering of moss and lichen on the primeval landscape making it hazardous to conquer but the boy has the stamina to get to the top and continue his walk through this beautiful wilderness. The boy is alone in the picture though accompanied by his family but he seems to mange on his own, capable of finding his own limits of endurance and confidence. Geologically, the Black Forest consists of a cover of sandstone on top of a core of gneiss. During the last glacial period, the Würm glaciation, the Black Forest was covered by glaciers.
