  • An aerial view of Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, USA. Looking eastwards from a high location in Lower Manhattan, we see the water and city beyond in Brooklyn itself. The Brooklyn Bridge is a bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. It has a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m), and was the first steel-wire suspension bridge constructed. Originally referred to as the New York and Brooklyn Bridge and as the East River Bridge, it was dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge, a name from an earlier January 25, 1867, letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, and formally so named by the city government in 1915.

  • An aerial view of the 1980s options trading floor at the London Stock Exchange. We look down from a high vantagepoint on to the traders as they go about their business. Three years after the so-called Big Bang in 1986 , this location at the old Stock Exchange Tower  became redundant with the advent of the Big Bang, which deregulated many of the Stock Exchange's activities as it enabled an increased use of computerised systems that allowed dealing rooms to take precedence over face to face trading. Thus, in 2004, the House moved to a brand new headquarters in Paternoster Square, close to St Paul's Cathedral.

  • With a giant Volkswagen (VW) poster of their Lupo car in the foreground, we are viewing an aerial view of Via dei Condotti, the pedestrian street that runs west from the Spanish steps in the Italian capital, Rome. Written in the Italian language, the banner says the word Astemia which in English translates teetotaller, implying the vehicle is clean and non-polluting - in other words, zero emissions. This high viewpoint is taken from the top of the famous landmark where the height and perspective allows us to see down the street where shoppers to and fro amid the occasional vehicle crosses or is parked to make deliveries. On the corner of the poster building are balconies, terraces and the shuttered windows of apartments.

  • High above the streets of Old Lisbon, we see a Portuguese lady leaning out of her window to hang out her washing on the line that is attached to her home's exterior wall in the Bairro Alto district - or Upper City - the oldest of Lisbon's residential quarters. Items of underwear, socks and other miscellaneous clothing have been strung out on the line that is now pegged along the crumbling wall's surface with faded, peeling plaster and paint. A TV aerial has also been fixed precariously by the window and it's shadow can be seen in the sunshine which is strong and side-lighting the scene which has a warm, morning glow about it. Lisbon's Bairro Alto quarter is located above Baixa and developed in the 16th Century. Suffering very little damage in the earthquake of 1755, it remains the area of most character and renowned for its residential and working quarter for craftsmen and shopkeepers. At night, life takes on a diferent personality when bars and up until the 60s, prostitution gave the district a bad reputation in the past but nowadays tourists and the chic frequent its streets and traditional 'Fado' (classical Portuguese opera) bars.

  • A Parachute Regiment recruit is in mid-flight and leaps across a wide space between scaffolding and a rope net during the 14-week long Pegasus (P) Company selection programme. Seen in silhouette, the man is in full stretch, half-way between the gantry he leapt from and the rope net that he is about to meet. It is an image that describes a mid-point, a half-way position between safety and uncertainty. Known as the Trainasium, it is an 'Aerial Confidence Course' which is unique to P Company. In order to assess his suitability for military parachuting, the Trainasium tests a candiates ability to overcome fear and carry out simple activities and instructions at a height above ground level. Recruits wanting to join the British Army's Parachute Regiment held regularly at Catterick army barracks, Yorkshire, need to pass this and other tests before earning the right to wear the esteemed maroon beret.

  • An aerial view of a mid-winter landscape of local railway tracks in Dulwich, south London. Stretching into the distance up the line, we see the empty scene without people and more especially - no trains. Routes in this area of Southwark have again been disrupted, with services cancelled leaving commuters on cold platforms. The snow is neither deep nor drifting but London again seems to have been caught with infrastructure unable to cope with poor weather conditions.

  • On both sides of the railway track, thousands of commuters desperate to get home after a long day at work in central London, line the platforms to we see from an aerial perspective. But the rail workers’ union has called for industrial action and there are no trains yet for these passengers to board for north or southbound services. Sensibly away from the edges, people are standing up to six-deep in anticipation of a ride home as the exodus to the suburbs hits its peak time. 37 per cent of workers in the capital used rail or underground travel as their main form of transport to work, according to regional and local statistics compiled by the Office for National Statistics.

  • An aerial view looking down on the father of the bride who shares memories and tells jokes during reception after a civil wedding ceremony in Essex, England. Standing in front of family members and honoured guests in a converted agricultural barn in Essex, England the stories and funny moments of their lives are recounted for all to laugh at cry at. This European wedding has taken place inside a covered Orangery at a private wedding and event venue. Rather than marrying in a religious context, the happy couple have preferred to tie the knot in this popular setting for a non-church meaning.

  • Seen from an aerial walkway, we look down on airline passengers awaiting the arrival of their baggage in the baggage reclaim hall in the arrivals of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. 50-70,000 pieces of British Airways baggage a day travel through 11 miles of conveyor belts which were installed in a 5-storey underground hall beneath the 400m (a quarter of a mile) length of Terminal 5. T5 alone has the capacity to serve around 30 million passengers a year and was completed in 2008 at a cost of £4.3bn. The system was designed by an integrated team from the airport operator BAA, BA and Vanderlande Industries of the Netherlands, and handles both intra-terminal and inter-terminal luggage. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • Seen from an aerial view far above the ground level, is a young boy who leaps across a fountain water feature landscape outside Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 building <br />
created by the Richard Rogers Partnership (now Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners). The highlight of a high sun glints off the wet pavement as 55 Choreoswitch waterswitches made by Ocmis are linked to 11 pumps located in a purpose built basement plant room beneath the Plaza. The switches are linked to a unit that also controls the 110 colour changing LED lights integrated into the nozzle housings. Displays can be fast and energetic with dramatic colours or subdued and gentle. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • Seen through a fisheye lens, we see an aerial view of the city of Florence (Firenze) as a lady tourist surveys the urban landscape using a tourist map. She has climbed the 84.7 meters (277.9 ft) high Gioto's Belltower (or campanile) of Duomo Cathedral. Due to the nature of the extreme-wide lens, the curvature of the horizon makes a global sort of perspective. Far below are the tiled rooftops of this Italian city's housing and properties and further into the distance are the green fields of Tuscany. On the marble ledge that is unguarded against accidental or intentional leaps, there is the graffiti of world tourism. The languages of world youth are written on this Renaissance building. The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is the cathedral church (Duomo), begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to designs of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436

  • An aerial view of a west London Porsche car salesman in his salesroom. We look down from a high vantage point to see three of his sports cars looking highly-polished in this expensive and exclusive market for elite cars. Two 911 (964) Carrera models from their 1992 range are seen in red and black - one an open top and the other a saloon. The Porsche 964 is the company's internal name for the version of the Porsche 911 model manufactured and sold between 1989 and 1994, designed by Benjamin Dimson in 1986 and built in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

  • Seen from the roof, we see an aerial perspective of an early morning swim for many south London locals as they bathe in the unheated pool of  the Grade II listed  Brockwell (Brixton) Lido in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill. The Lido is a magnet, an oasis, for city dwellers to escape, if only for an hour from the pressures of fast urban life. Many enjoy the benefits of outdoor bathing and the friendship of meeting old friends. In the centre, a mother helps her young daughter up from the cool morning water before another hot day in August. Brockwell Lido is a large, open air swimming pool in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London. It opened in July 1937, closed in 1990 and after a local campaign was re-opened in 1994. Brockwell Lido was designed by HA Rowbotham and TL Smithson of the London County Council's Parks Department to replace Brockwell Park bathing pond.

  • Aerial landscape of Bernauer Strasse, showing a section of preserved Berlin wall where East Germans were killed while trying to cross the former border between Communist East and West Berlin during the Cold War. The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off (by land) West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. The Eastern Bloc claimed that the wall was erected to protect its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" in building a socialist state in East Germany. In practice, the Wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that marked Germany and the communist Eastern Bloc during the post-World War II period.

  • Teenage students jump high on a basketball court to score a goal at the Gyosei International Japanese School, a boarding school for Japanese ex-pats opened in 1987 in Willen Park, Milton Keynes, England. Seen from an aerial perspective, we look down on these active and fit young men, whose sense of competition and fitness is played out below us. Leaping up to help win the ball that is about to be placed in the foreground basket, each of the seven boys try their utmost to help win or prevent the point, depending on the team members. The court looks new and well cared for at this ex-patriot school in the English Midlands

  • A wild bather swims the breast stroke in mountain waters of River Shiel in Moidart on the Ardnamurchan peninsular, Western Scotland. Viewed from a high viewpoint, an aerial perspective from a nearby bridge, we see the man having entered the water from rocks, and out into the current which will take him under the bridge and into a wider channel. Ripples expand outwards from the man. The water is pure and clean, having come from mountain streams and springs, if a little cold. But the swimmer is wearing a wetsuit to protect him from the chill. It is a near-perfect place that is largely secret from outsiders.

  • Two visitors walk along the rooftop of a section of Alhambra. This aerial landscape also shows in the background, the old Arab Albaicin quarter and surrounding barrios of Moorish city of Granada. The Albaicin Quarter is the old Moorish quarter across the River Darro from the Alhambra. When the Moors controlled Granada, this area of the city was the most densely populated. The streets are narrow and many of them do not have sidewalks. The houses are not very high and they are very close to each other. Alhambra (in Arabic, Al-Ḥamra) is a palace and fortress complex constructed during the mid 14th century by the Moorish rulers of the Emirate of Granada in Al-Andalus.

  • The volcanic terrain and aerials, used for both surveilance and transmissions, proliferate 27th May 1997, on Ascension, a small area of approximately 88 km² isolated volcanic island in the equatorial waters of the South Atlantic Ocean, roughly midway between the horn of South America and Africa. It is governed as part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. Organised settlement of Ascension Island began in 1815, when the British garrisoned it as a precaution after imprisoning Napoleon I on Saint Helena. In January 2016 the UK Government announced that an area around Ascension Island was to become a huge marine reserve, to protect its varied and unique ecosystem, including some of the largest marlin in the world, large populations of green turtle, and the islands own species of frigate bird. With an area of 234,291 square kilometres 90,460 sq mi, slightly more than half of the reserve will be closed to fishing.
