  • Surrounded by books and holy relics, a monk follower of Tibetan-Buddhism engages in Puja, or prayer, at the Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery and Tibetan Centre in Eskdalemuir, Scotland. This young western man wears traditional Tibetan monk's clothes, prays in a caravan adapted to become a woodland home in the woodland near the Centre. He is a western visitor, many of whom have had a troubled youth and are sometimes escaping a criminal past, who arrive in the Scottish wilderness for isolated Retreat periods, for short-term spiritual relaxation or to follow Tibetan teaching methods for discovering inner-peace, through prayer and meditation. This Tibetan Buddhist complex associated with the Kagyu school celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2007.

  • Standing with a recently-killed deer run-over on a nearby highway, members of a special US Air Force (USAF) survival course (see Corbis image 42-18212808) pose by the gutted carcass of their animal in a forest near their facility at Fairchild AFB, Spokane, Washington State. These tough-looking men host visiting air crew whose flying careers depend on passing this rigorous week of escape and evasion instruction. Should they land in enemy territory for example, they will need all the skills learned here to survive possibly weeks in the wilderness so trapping and preparing fresh meat for human consumption is of paramount importance. Here the teachers stand around the venison which is strung up on a branch, its intestines and organs already removed by a hunting knife. They wear camouflage uniforms, face paint to look vicious, threatening and heartless.

  • Wearing a peaked cap and small rucksack, a young adventurer, scales a giant boulder in the ancient forest of Monbachtal Bach in Germany's Black Forest. 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.

  • A wide landscape scene of Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park, California. It is summer and the various species of trees, including pine, thrive in this wilderness, protected under US conservation laws. The valley is about 8 miles (13 km) long and up to a mile deep, surrounded by high granite summits such as Half Dome, El Capitan, and Cloud's Rest, and densely forested with pines. The entire park covers an area of 761,268 acres (3,080.74 km2) and reaches across the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain chain. Over 3.7 million people visit Yosemite each year: most spend their time in the seven square miles (18 km2) of Yosemite Valley.

  • Usually played in pairs for morning and evenings calls to prayer, preludes, and processions, two western nuns following Tibetan-Buddhism play their Rag-Dung (brass trumpets) in a garden at the Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery and Tibetan Centre in Eskdalemuir, Scotland. One nun looks across to check finger positions of her fellow-player and they are sat cross-legged on the lush grass surrounded with flowers and tall plants. The Rag-Dung is the most spectacular of Tibetan ritual copper horns and some are up to twenty feet long. With a deeply resonant sound it is relatively easy to play. Those following this branch of Buddhism arrive in the Scottish wilderness for isolated Retreat periods, for short-term spiritual relaxation or to follow Tibetan teaching methods for discovering inner-peace, through prayer and meditation.

  • A group of country ramblers walk along the sea defence embankment of Halstow Marshes on the Kent Thames estuary marshes, potentially threatened by the future London airport.  With the panoramic views beyond, the walkers stand still below blue skies and clouds, stopping to spot birdlife on the marshland, on a landscape that could controversially become the site for London's estuary airport, built on reclaimed and marshland on the river Thames, east of the city. Current London mayor Boris Johnson is in faviour of this project to alleviate pressure from other airport hubs, regardless of wildlife (especially a nearby protected bird sanctuary).

  • Across the calm waters of a Scottish bay, isolated houses and crofts sit before the dramatic Cuillin Mountains that rise up in the distance on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Sunlight from unusually fine weather spreads across this beautiful landscape seen from the road to Dunvegan, near the hamlet of Harlosh. Farming practices have changed irreversably in a generation and many southerners have English accents rather than that of native Scots islanders as city dwellers from the far south seek an alternative to urban lifestyles. The weather can have adverse effects on those unprepared for such wild conditions, especially during harsh winters when violent storms batter these Atlantic coasts. But old crofts have been converted to bed and breakfast homes, catering for tourist visitors who adore this form of idyllic escapism.

  • Collapsed roof of a farmer's barn by fallen pines after summer storms in a forest above Badia-Abtei in the Dolomites region of south Tyrol, Italy. The oldest barns in this region are called Tierstaller and follow the same basic design: That of for warmth in the long, hard winters in the mountains and for coolness in the hot summers. But farming has changed dramatically in the Alps. Barns reflect and accompany this transformation. In villages and open landscapes, more and more barns are abandoned, used for other purposes, or falling into disrepair. Contemporary farmers build new barns for stockbreeding, fruit storage, and wine pressing.

  • Hill landscape looking from Sutton Bank to distant North Yorkshire fields below. From a high altitude, we look westwards down on faraway woodland, fields of farms and villages, located on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Sutton Bank, also known as Roulston Scar, is a hill in the Hambleton District of the North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire in England. The hill is the site of one of the most important prehistoric monuments in the region—a massive hillfort built in the Iron Age, around 400 BC. It was the approximate location of the attack of the Scots in a major victory Battle of Old Byland they defeated the forces of King Edward II and John of Brittany, Earl of Richmond.

  • Ancient Bronze Age path and former drovers' route from Scotland to London, at Scotch Corner on the North Yorkshire moors. We look southwards downhill, a muddy lane on the edge of the North Yorks Moors National Park. For thousands of years, since the Bronze Age but more so in the last few centuries, the hooves of horses and sheep were transported along this path. Those treading the ground, helping to bring trade, spread news, introduce ideas and technology. Also known as Hambleton Street - or Via Regalis, after the Roman era - the footpath is now used by leisurely walkers on the Cleveland Way.

  • A young deer lies dead beside a busy highway on a road near Fairchild Air Force Base, Spokane, Washington State. Very recently run-over but seemingly unharmed, this animal has head injuries and died immediately from a collision with a passing vehicle, such as this heavy articulated lorry which blurrs past this location. This is forested area and the deer's natural habitat but too often wildlife in its natural surroundings violently meets the modern human environment and the animal comes of worst. As a result of the death, the roadkill was taken by members of a US Air Force survival course at their nearby facility and so it formed an unscheduled extra lesson in preparing venison for the pot that night (see Corbis image entitled 'US Air Force survival instructors with recent roadkill').

  • A 14 year-old teenage boy jumps down off a pile of logs during a countryside walk with his pet dog. After running along the tops of the logs, being stored by a local landowner on a countryside path, the lad balances on the timber as he descends to the ground again. His dog is a muddy terrier cross who relishes the outing as much as the boy who is demonstrating a sense of adventure and boyhood in the great outdoors.

  • Six walkers blur as they walk through an English wood during a weekend ramble. The friends and colleagues make their way along a country path, through an oak forest in central Kent, south-east England. Our point of view follows the people as they blur, their rucksacks containing lunch and berries, their boots treading on the soft ground.
