  • A baby's face on a construction site hoarding peers over the top of a timber traffic barrier and wiring, on the corner of Limeburner Lane and Ludgate Hill, EC4. Yellow wiring and an illuminated red light alerts others to the industrial hazard. 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 coil of electrical wiring cables is next to the walls of the Bank of England on Threadneedle Street - part of ongoing alterations to the highway during the Coronavirus pandemic in the City of London, the capitals financial district, on 6th August 2020, in London, England. SRL are the UK’s only manufacturer to sell and hire traffic light equipment and their Urban64 product is the first, and only, permanent technology system to be designed uniquely for temporary installations in the U.K. The Urban64 design allows for simple and quick over-head installation, with the ability to replicate the technology provided by the preceding permanent system, and therefore maintaining traffic flow efficiency.

  • In the heat and dust of the arid Sonoran desert are the remains of a Boeing 747 cockpit at the storage facility at Mojave, California. The wiring of the now-extinct flight engineer's console is a jumble of old technology. Either by age or cooling economy airliners are either cannibalised for still-working parts or recycled for scrap, their aluminium fuselages worth more than their sum total. Elsewhere, assorted aircraft wrecks sit abandoned in the scrub minus their bellies, legs or wings like dying birds. After a lifetime of safe commercial flight, wings are clipped and cockpits sliced apart by huge guillotines, cutting through their once-magnificent engineering. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • An odd job maintenance man bends awkwardly on a pair of stepladders to reach an internal light fitting in the cafeteria area of auditing company Ernst & Young's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot European headquarters at More London, England. Dressed in blue shirt and dark trousers and with keys attached to his belt, the balancing man stretches into the hole left by the light to access wiring. To his right we also see an idyllic scene of wild meadow flowers, a carpet of red flora that goes into the distance though incongrously, the reflection of many cafe lights are seen in the sky of the meadow picture. Ernst & Young employs 114,000 people, in 700 locations across 140 countries around the world.

  • The damage and detritus of shop stock in the damaged Clarence Road Convenience Store belonging to Sri Lankan-born Sivaharan (Siva) Kandiah during the riots of London and other UK cities of August 2011. The local newspaper Hackney Gazette lies in shreds on the floor of the premises along with various other paper and goods, even electrical wiring that was ripped out. During the riot in London on Monday 8th August, local youths and older residents of nearby estates ransacked the business and either removed Siva’s stock or left the rest to spoil on the unrefrigerated floor. In alcohol and cigarettes alone, he lost £50,000 in stock but during the campaign top help him recover, more than £16,000 was raised by his customers and friends.

  • With a setting sun reflected as a starburst of light in a street lamp, we see the yellow-painted plaster wall of a building on the corner of Florence's Piazza Santa Croce, Florence. A pigeon is caught flying at speed past the viewer and graffiti spoils this otherwise idyllic landscape in the renaissance city. Properties that line the piazza are already in deep shadow but there are still many visitors standing around on the stones to admire the Santa Croce church that is located to the left of this street.

  • 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.

  • Virgin boss, Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic directors Will Whitehorn and Stephen Attenborough, talk to the media during the unveiling of their SpaceShipTwo concept model's unveiling at the New York Wired NextFest at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.  Now under construction by Burt Rutan in Mojave, California and looking more like a Stanley Kubrick movie set from '2001 A Space Odyssey,' than the future for everyday holidays, SpaceShipTwo is a re-usable orbiting vehicle that will become an important tool for Man's leisure time in space when affordable commercial space tourism starts in around 2009.  <br />
Aboard the re-usable space vehicle will be 6 passengers, each of whom will have paid $200,000 for the 40 minute flight to 360,000 feet (109.73km, or 68.18 miles) and to experience just 6 minutes of weighlessness.<br />
Launched in September 2004 by Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic will invest up to $250 million to develop the world’s first commercial space tourism business with the building, testing and flying of five space shipShipTwos and two mother ships.  It is expected that within the first full year of commercial operations Virgin Galactic will enable 500 people to fulfil their dreams of becoming astronauts; in the last 4 decades the world has seen fewer than 500 astronauts. Flights start around 2009.<br />
