  • Two Bhutanese woman holding prayer wheels and rosary beads praying at the National Memorial Chorten in Thimphu, Western Bhutan. This large Tibetan-style chorten is one of the most visible religious structures in Thimphu and for many Bhutanese it is the focus of their daily worship. It was built in 1974 as a memorial to the third king, Jigme Dorji Wangchuck.

  • Spare wheels belonging to Hawk aircraft of the 'Red Arrows', Britain's Royal Air Force aerobatic team are stored in the team’s hangar at RAF Scampton. On a shelf are the front and rear tyres (tires) and wheel of the Hawk jet aircraft that perform across the UK in the summer months. Since 1965 the squadron have flown over 4,000 shows in 52 countries and are an important part of Britain's summer events where the aircraft perform their manoeuvres in front of crowds. Their spares collection is therefore a vital element to the team’s presence at air shows and fly-pasts. This version of the BAE Systems Hawk is primitive, without computers or fly-by-wire technology. Nevertheless, the team's aircraft are in some cases over 20 years old and their air-frames require constant attention with increasingly frequent major overhauls due.

  • In the foreground a local dog lies down in the afternoon heat on rutted ancient Roman flag stones while in the background tourists walk down the old highway in Pompeii, Italy. Next to his exhausted body, the grooved ruts carved by wooden wheels can still be seen next to a large stepping stone which let chariots ride over the stone yet allowed pedestrians to step over the road. Pompeii is a ruined Roman city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania. It was completely buried during a catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius on 24 August 79 AD. The volcano covered Pompeii under many metres of ash, and it was lost for over 1,600 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1748. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, it is a main tourist attraction of Italy and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pompeii has become a popular tourist destination; with approximately 2.5 million visitors a year, it is the most popular tourist attraction in Italy.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Vicksburg, Mississippi at dusk. This multi story carpark  is transformed as the remains of a storm at sunset  turn the sky iridescent. There are perhaps defining moments on all big trips. Arriving in Vicksburg, Mississippi at dusk just as a  huge thunderstorm was beginning to break was one of them. It had been raining so hard, that an alligator had mistook the four-lane Interstate for the swollen Mississippi beside it and tragically met its death there. But as we drew into elegant Vicksburg, with its pillar-fronted houses on hilly streets, something astonishing happened. The sky, the result of a hot, setting sun, and the remains of a storm, was suddenly alive with an iridescent glow, so otherworldly, it looked like a space ship had landed.  A rainbow stretched between two red brick towers, and you could just hear hear a steamer's horn, as it edged its way down the mighty Mississippi

  • The famous Blue Ridge Parkway, a breathtaking highway through the Appalacian Mountains. This was shot in The Great Smoky Mountain Park near Robbinsville NC, taken as part of a 2700 mile two week road trip from Atlanta Georgia through Tennessee and Mississippi to New Orleans. There is great feeling of  freedom when you know you have  two weeks away from work  and responsibility and nothing but open road before you.

  • Mail-box on the road leading into Robbinsville, North Carolina. Although this picture is typical of the road side view one gets when driving through the US. The US flag depicted in this context reflects the increased visibility of the stars and stripes post 9/11 and evokes a more sinister interpretation of this picture.

  • The Hard Rock Café, Nashville. Nashville  is the capital of Tennessee  and the self styled  home of country music. Today There is still some great music to be found but one has to navigate some typical US commercialism  in the search as  the town cashes in on its reputation.
