The pedestrian is partly silhouetted and she stands in profile looking straight ahead as if ignoring what is on offer.

  • 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.

  • Ducking under the falling spray from a giant wave, a passer-by experience the force of nature from a storm off the coasts of southern England - here at the Port of Dover, Kent.

Adventurous and foolhardy people brave these conditions and stay for as long as possible at the railings then jump out at the last moment before getting doused in salt spray. This man carries on walking and thinks that by bending down, the sea will pass overhead.
