  • The curling shadows of shrubs at a place for smokers outside a Mayfair restaurant, central London. Seen in the sunlight of a winter's day, the shadows of shapes and forms appear on the white wall at the place where customers are expected to stand for a smoke, their cigarette butts can be pressed into the wall-mounted receptacle to help stop the littering of the capital's streets. The green shrubs have been immaculately trimmed into perfect shapes and the curling shadow on the main plant looks like curling smoke - a coincidental and humourous scene.

  • Near the end of the military runway at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk England, a road sign warns of low-flying aircraft near the base which is populated by the United States Air Force Refuelling Wing. Beneath the triangular sign is a locally made makeshift advertisement for CJ's, a nearby cafe. It is summer and the shrubs are green with white flowers to the side. The sign itself has become discoloured with green algae after being rained on over successive wet weather days. In the UK, the Highway Code for road-users lists this warning sign (always triangular) as "Low-flying aircraft or sudden aircraft noise." 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.

  • Lunchtime people enjoy autumn sunshine outside the new Pret a Manger cafe with the soon to be demolished Shopping Centre right, on 1st September 2016, at Elephant & Castle, London, England UK.

  • 1,890 meters (6,200 feet) above sea level and surrounded by lush tea plantations in Sri Lanka's Hill Country district of Nuwara Eliya, women tea pickers bend over trees to harvest Ceylon tea leaves that are taken to the white building on the left for processing. A carpet of velvety green tea bushes stretch into the far distance. This is the heart of the island's tea industry but was a pleasure retreat of the European planters due to its temperate English climate that produces the finest leaves for the country's economy. Teas from this highest region are described as the champagne of Ceylon teas. The leaf is gathered all year round but the finest teas are made from that plucked in January and February. The best teas of the area give a rich, golden, excellent quality liquor that is smooth, bright, and delicately perfumed.

  • A businessman wearing a light summer suit and carrying a briefcase walks away in the opposite direction to Canary Wharf tower which is seen over his shoulder from across a tree-lined Brockwell Park in South London, approximately 7.5 miles away. The flattened-perspective is because of an extremely long telephoto lens making it seem closer than it is in reality. Canary Wharf is the product of the 1980s financial boom when during the office of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, huge building projects such as the Docklands consortium saw vast changes in London's landscape.

  • A detailed of an unknown species of red apples ripening on trees in an English garden orchard. The fruits are a healthy red and are bathed in sunshine as they deepen their flavours before falling to the ground if not picked soon. The apple tree is one of the most widely cultivated of fruit trees. They are deciduous (they shed their leaves in the autumn) and are small reaching just 5-12 m tall. They normally flower in spring, producing white flowers, sometimes with a pink tinge. The fruit matures in mid-late autumn, and can be eaten raw, used in cooking, juiced or made into cider. It is a quintessential scene from an English orchard that are disappearing at alarming rates due to re-landscaping and shrinking habitats. English apples are predicted to become the next victim of the honeybee crisis, threatening over £165m of agricultural production in the UK.

  • As two young lovers hold each other intimately in Phoenix Gardens, a voyeuristic stranger seemingly looks through bushes. The boy and girl hug in this intimate moment one lunchtime, away from their places of work in this haven of peace amid the bustle of London's Soho in the West End. Unaware of anyone else apart from their own company, we see the voyeur standing in the bushes, apparently watching them as they kiss and cuddle. The gardens are green with plenty of undergrowth and foliage creating a pleasant space. The plants and shrubs make this inner-city oasis a place to enjoy.
