  • 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.

  • Motel shot at night on the outskirts of Vicksburg, Mississippi. 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.

  • 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 legendary crossroads of Highways 49 and 61 outside Clarksdake, Mississippi. In the juke joints around Clarksdale, Mississippi, Robert Johnson was known as the kid who could barely play the guitar he often carried. Stories are told of musicians inviting Johnson to join them on stage, knowing that, before he got very far, the audience would be laughing. He disappeared for a while. When he returned, no one who heard him could believe he was the same man. He blew everyone away, playing the songs that would make him famous, among them "Cross Road Blues" and "Me And The Devil Blues." Rumours started and a myth was born :Johnson did a deal with the devil here at the crossroads of Highways 49 and 61 and sold his soul in return for his musical abilities. Whatever  the truth fans on the way to  the historic Blues town of Clarksdale and and its  Delta Blues Museum will often stop at Abe's Bar B Q on the intersection and pay homage.

  • Lindsey Maples and friend Robert Montgomery hanging out as the sun begins to set in Arkabutla, Tennessee. The trick of the road trip experience  in Southern USA is to get off the main highways as often as possible: it’s the best  way to meet the real America. Despite the stereotype of red neck America that is portrayed you are more likely to meet a friendly and hospitable folk interested in you as you are in them.

  • Moving fast past a farmhouse building on a busy UK A road, unseen traffic leaves its light trails on an otherwise dark winter night near the giant DIRFT warehouse logistics park in Daventry, Northamptonshire England. Some rooms are lit in this remote residence which show signs of occupation. Red tail lights from cars, lorries and trucks streak by with tall traces of container traffic leaves light on the picture, diagonally leaving their mark. It is a very busy highway on which to own a home but this infrastructure is a vital route that keeps Britain's logistics moving across the country 24/7.

  • 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.

  • Lonely tree in Clarksdale seems to echo the loneliness of the blues heritage in the town. Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Bessie Smith and ZZ Top are some of the many musicians who have put Clarksdale on the map: with its own blues museum on Blues Alley it is no surprise to hear that  Clarksdale it is famous for being ‘the birth place of the Blues’. However the cotton pickers migration north after the introduction of mechanization  took  something of the blues soul with them with the blues museum as important an institution as any of the remaining blues joints .

  • 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

  • Razor Blade (real name Josh Stuart) as he calls himself has been playing blues since the sixties with his band the Deep Cuts “they kinda know me around these parts.” It helps to work 15 hours in the cotton fields to really sing the blues he explains. Something these white wannabe blues singers don’t really understand. With the cotton pickers migration north after the introduction of mechanization it is no surprise that something of the blues soul has left with them. The blues museum (0pposite in Blues Alley) is now as important an institution as any of the remaining blues joints.

  • The A30 highway runs deep into the South-West of England - from Exeter in the county of Devon to Penzance in the narrow peninsular of Cornwall. On certain dates in the calendar routes like this, near the Cornish town of Bodmin, England, come to a standstill from the huge volume of cars and private vehicles, all heading down to costal resorts and better weather. We see here a huge tailback of traffic that is queueing along one side of the British dual-carriageway (two lanes in each direction) from close-up  to the distance down and up a natural hill in this undulating landscape. The cars have edged forward are nose to tail for hours in summer heatwave and tempers fray, children arguing in the back and an otherwise relaxed holiday mood suddenly goes bad.

  • A male passenger is asleep with his mouth open, leaning his head on a bus window as it passes the background pillars of the Bank of England in the financial district City of London. On the exterior of the bus are the words: "We've got to get this city to work," an advertising slogan used by London Transport to seduce commuters from their cars and back on to public transport which is one of the most expensive world capitals on which to travel by bus, train or underground. This style of bus is a traditional design called a 'Routemaster' which has been in service on the capital's roads since 1954 and is nowadays only seen on heritage routes such as these destination: Victoria, Bond Street, Oxford Street, Holborn and Bank (the Bank of England). From any angle, the bus is easily recognisable as that classic British transport icon.  The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.
