  • Emergency crews and the devastated fuselage of a British Midland Airways Boeing 737-400 series jet airliner which lies on an embankment of the M1 motorway at Kegworth, near East Midlands Airport in Leicestershire, England. On the night of 8th January 1989, flight 92 crashed due to the shutting down of the wrong, malfunctioning engine. Attempting an emergency landing, 47 people died and 74 people, including seven members of the flight crew, sustained serious injuries. The aircraft's tail snapped upright at ninety degrees and here perished most of the passenger fatalities. The devastation was hampered by woodland and the fire fighters are attempting to rescue survivors or extract those killed in this air disaster that proved one of Britain's worst.

  • The outline of electricity cables stretch across a gloomy winter sky in woodland near Wrington, North Somerset England. Diagonally, the cables travel across the picture but they are part of a line of L6 pylons that have already crossed many miles of South-West England's countryside, carrying 40,000 Volts along this network of aluminium cables to power some of Bristol's high supply demands. In the foreground we see the bare boughs and branches of trees creating a Sci-Fi scene of ugly 21st technology versus the beauty of nature. Insatiable appetites for raw power and energy means electricity is now an expensive comodity after climbing oil prices doubled electricity utility bills for some domestic users.

The Elves are not subject to disease or physical aging, though they could be killed by violence or by wasting away and losing the will to live. They were otherwise immortal.

  • 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.

  • A nesting box for the Common Goldeneye, a medium-sized diving duck, on the banks of Lake Inari, Finnish Lapland. Like other waterfowl, the goldeneye has had an important role in providing nutrition for people of northern Finland. The birds naturally nest in a tree cavity but will readily use nestboxes and this used to be the traditional way of collecting eggs of waterfowl throughout Lapland. The custom was based on the fact that when you remove only some of the eggs from the nest, the female would lay more eggs to replace the lost ones. The eggs were traditionally cooked in hot ash and eaten hardboiled. Collecting Common Goldeneye eggs is no longer officially permitted.

Standing in the naturally-growing heather in afternoon sunshine, the women and the young child are looking at the plants that they've just picked to show the youngster.

The picture shows us a memory of nostalgia in an era from the last century.

  • 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.

  • 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').

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.

  • A cross in sunlight shows the Katyn memorial set in a forest in Warsaw, Poland. The Katyn war cemetery is a Polish military cemetery located in Warsaw commemorating the massacre of Polish officers during the second world war although the town of Katyn is a small village near Smolensk, Russia. It contains the remnants of 4,412 Polish officers of the Kozelsk prisoner of war camp, who were murdered in 1940 in what is called the Katyn massacre. The soldiers were buried in six large mass graves. Until 1991 it was known that the Nazis were responsible but after the end of Communism did they Russians admit that Stalin's forces killed the Poles. There is also a Russian part of the cemetery, where an undisclosed number of victims of the Soviet Great Purges of the 1930's were buried by the NKVD. The cemetery was officially opened in 2000.

  • A teenage boy of 15 years of age learns the art of reversing a small trailer on a family farmstead in north Somerset. While steering the small garden mower, he looks behind him to guage the way the front wheels turn against the rear - gaining experience of how opposite locks on their turning circles change the path of two interlinked vehicles. In the background are tall beech trees set in a small wood on the small farm. The yard has a smooth ground gravel and stone on which to practice driving.

  • A sign warning passers-by of chemical and biological landfill dangers on property owned by Waste Management, Offham, Kent. The sign has been placed on a wooden fence on private land at the side of a village road in this rural area of southern England. A substantial lock has been placed through the fence and gate deterring those wishing to take a shortcut through to nearby woods. Places like Offham were chosen for London’s rubbish and for many years gigantic ARC lorries left London for the villages in order to fill the quarries with metropolitan waste.

  • The phone box featured in the 1945 film 'I know where I'm Going' at Carsaig Bay, Isle of Mull, Scotland. This remote location is at the end of a 4-5 mile single-track road from a larger road on the Ross of Mull. The famous red phone box at Carsaig was saved by movie fans (you can dial its number +44 (0)1681-704203). In danger of being removed due to lack of use it is now just used by hikers unable to obtain a mobile (cell) phone signal. Fans of the movie rescued the iconic phone kiosk from crumbling. Visited by film buffs, the kiosk now has Historic Scotland list B status because of its part on screen. And during a pilgrimage to celebrate the Powell and Pressburger film’s 65th anniversary, fans noticed that the box was in a poor condition.

  • German troops are ready to embark into a stationary Chinook helicopter during battle exercises in east Anglia, England. Waiting for the signal to climb aboard, they wear full battle-dress and camouflage for the English forest. Joining a joint force of British and foreign regiments, these Germans are distinctive by their helmets, still shaped much like their WW2 counterparts.

  • A four year-old boy plays below beech trees on a mound in Somerset woods. Jumping and stretching up towards the treetops amid the trees, the woods look dark and menacing although sunlight is shining between the branches in the height of summer. The young lad enjoys the freedom of the great outdoors, experiencing the joys of boyhood - memories that last forever in a life lead outside in the wild.

  • A customized caravan sits in the damp woods at the Faslane Peace Camp, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Matt Bury, 52, is one of the camp's 10 full time residents and has been living in this trailer for a year. Painted harlequin-styled diamonds adorn the walls of the van in a personal artistic statement. Calor gas bottles lie on the ground and weeds grow around this semi-permanent site. Faslane Peace Camp is a makeshift political activists' site alongside HM Naval Base Clyde where Trident nuclear deterrent missiles and Vanhuard Class submarines dock. The camp has been occupied continuously, in a few different locations since 12 June 1982. Image taken for the 'UK at Home' book project published 2008.

  • David Reynolds (aka Eco) is a long-term activist, campaigner in the peace movement and resident of the Faslane Peace Camp, Scotland. His home of three years is called the Earth Shack and is largely re-cycled from scrap and garbage found locally on rubbish tips. Eco leans against his garden fence holding a mug of coffee this chilly Sunday morning. Signs of his political beliefs adorn the place: CND logos and Peace on Earth statements. His mother was a ‘Carnie’ (after the word Carnival, someone working on the fairgrounds) so perhaps it’s from her that he more enjoys an alternative outdoor camping lifestyle after a few years in the army. Faslane Peace Camp is a makeshift site alongside Faslane Naval base where Trident nuclear deterrent missiles and submarines dock. The camp has been occupied continuously, in a few different locations, since 1982.

  • A Polish hiking route sign on a spruce tree where others have been badly affected by the European spruce beetle, in Dolina Mietusia, a hiking route in the Polish Tatra National Park, on 18th September 2019, in Dolina Mietusia, near Zakopane, Malopolska, Poland. The European spruce beetle Ips typographus is one of 116 bark beetles species in Poland which is killing thousands of spruces. The insects population can grow rapidly via wind and snow etc. which eventually leaves a gap in the landscape, thereby changing the forest floors ecology.
