  • A derelict building lies vacant after many years but is now for sale by a local estate agent, on 17th July, at Aveira, Portugal.

The more recent addition of plastic plumbing, with  outlets and downpipes help make this an incongruous industrial landscape of inner-city recession and employment hardship.

  • Separated by colour-coded floors, employees of the auditing company Ernst & Young, participate in informal meetings in E & Y's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot E & Y's European headquarter offices at More London, London England. Those on the top blue level 8 may be more senior to those below on the 7th purple storey of this tall, upright scene of modernity. It is busier on the upper floor then the two men beneath. Subsequent levels are vacant. Architecturally, the term atrium comes from Latin: a large and light central hall or reception of a house where guests were greeted. The depth and height of all levels from near the top to almost the bottom give a sense of vertigo, a dizzying perspective on seniority and success as opposed to lower-ranking middle-management.

Britains Department of Transport has awarded to an unproven shipping company, Seaborne Freight, to provide run roll-on roll-off ferry services to the road haulage industry between Ostend and the Kent port - in the event of more likely No Deal Brexit. In the EU referendum of 2016, people in Kent voted strongly in favour of leaving the European Union with 59% voting to leave and 41% to remain.

  • A Christmas tree standing alone outside the now empty Carnegie Library, on 2nd January 2017, in the London borough of Lambeth, England. Shut by Lambeth council and occupied by protesters for 10 days in April, the library which was bequeathed by American philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie has been locked ever since because, say Lambeth austerity cuts are necessary even though 24hr security make it more expensive to keep closed than open for the local community. A gym that locals say they dont want or need is planned to replace the working library and while some of the 20,000 books on shelves will remain, no librarians will be present to administer it.

  • A red carpet and red and white striped marquee is seen after a military event at the Guildhall in the City of London, the capital's financial district and historic heart. There are imperfections because boot marks on the end  many people have already walked over the material. The Guildhall has been an important centre for City of London affairs since the twelfth century. 800 years on, Guildhall is still home of the City of London Corporation, and acts as a grand setting for glittering banquets in honour of visiting Heads of State and other dignitaries, royal occasions, and receptions for major historical anniversaries.

  • Now closed menswear outfitters' empty window display in Moorgate, City of London, stencil red lettering telling us the shop once sold suits from £99. Around a recession-bled Britain, high-street businesses have been going bust in their thousands. Britain has now endured eight recessions since the Second World War. No two recessions are alike, and that applies to the current slowdown also. It has been caused by a shock to the availability of credit, a massive build up of debt. The number of people out of work currently stands at almost two million. Given the rate at which the economy is deteriorating this could easily be above three million. From a continuing piece of work about windows and urban messages, the picture is from the project of closed business windows: 'Bust - the Art of Recession'. s

  • Having packed nearly all their possessions into a removal company's truck, a family have left this terraced house apart from a telephone that sits on the carpet in the middle of the carpet, on a ground floor home in Herne Hill, South London England UK. The family have taken the precaution of using a professional removal company, rather than trying to move themselves,  and we see a yellow storage van parked outside in the street ready to drive  the house's contents to the new property. This family home is now empty awaiting its new occupants who will soon arrive with their own items.

  • 2 months before the London Olympics, a To Let sign is attached to the gates of a building offering space near to the 2012 Olympic Park site. Merely a mile from the main Olympic Park site that is due to attract thousands of international interest. The 500-acre Olympic Park is the largest recreational space to open in Europe for 150 years. More than £9 billion of public money has been pumped into the area and yet some building owners with property on the periphery of the Olympic venues have left their buildings empty, hoping for last minute offers.

We see the perfectly clear blue sea surrounding the islands and tiny sandbanks of white coral beach sand, all of which are in jeopardy of rising sea levels as global warming makes sea level locations like this vulnerable to being overwhelmed. The only sign of life is the tiny island in the bottom right of frame where holiday resort accommodation ring this dot in the ocean. The Maldives comprise of twenty-six atolls, featuring 1,192 coral islands of which 80 are holiday resorts with 200 inhabited by indigenous communities.
