  • As a boy swings from a tree, canoeists enjoy a day's paddling down the River Lesse, Belgium's prime kayaking destination  in the southern Ardennes region. At Anseremme, south of the town of Dinant, the adventurers negotiate their way down 21 km of gentle fresh water through the beautiful Belgian gorges and forests. Before plunging down a weir (Barrage in French) near a camp site they are pelted by splashing water from campers in the water. The red canoes have been hired for the day from 'Kayaks Ansiaux' and another rival company who rent blue boats. Families and young people make the slow journey along the Lesse, Paddles match the colours of the canoes and they all glint off a strong afternoon sun during the high-season holiday month. Most commonly routes start in Han and go all the way down to Dinant, where the Lesse meets the Meuse.

  • Vertical jets create a curtain of water as a child flexes his muscles, shivering from cold water cold and other young Londoner children spontaneously shed their clothes and get wet in a splash experience at the South Bank during the free Mayor's Thames Festival celebration along the capital's river. In the heat of summer, when the capital's temperatures have climbed to levels when urban children just want to play in any water they can find, this feature on the upper-level of the newly-renovated Festival Hall (seen on the left) satisfies their reckless and thrilling childhood, allowing them to await ever-changing jets of water pressure that alternates between off and on. The kids are drenched as they find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.

  • A rather obese woman stands in the waves at the seaside resort of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. With hands behind her back and fingers interlocked the lady wears a turquoise bathing costume that just about fits her ample, wide body. Her bottom is large as are her legs that have cellulite on the tops of her thighs. She looks left alone, a solitary person standing with her back to the viewer - or perhaps she is standing guard, keeping watch on children as they play safely in the sea. Water splashes against her lower legs and is frozen still by a fast shutter speed. It is a fine, bright sunny afternoon on this Eastern coast of England, more noted for very changeable weather rather than the heatwave experienced here.

  • A woman police officer (WPC) stands with white paint plashed over her uniform during a public protest over the Poll Tax policies of Margaret Thatcher's government in 1990. It is dark and the trouble has been growing throughout the evening when the paint was thrown by unknown protesters. Angry crowds, demonstrating against Thatcher's local authority tax, eventually stormed the Whitehall area and then London's West End, setting fire to a construction site and cars, looting stores up Charing Cross Road and St Martin's Lane. The anti-poll tax rally in central London erupted into the worst riots seen in the city for a century. Forty-five police officers were among the 113 people injured as well as 20 police horses. 340 people were arrested.

  • A young woman walking along a London street is about to be splashed by a passing London double-decker bus at a flooded bus stop. After heavy rain that fell over the capital, puddles or filthy water lies in gullies and gutters of the urban streets - including this bus stop in Aldwych. The young woman is aware of the camera and walks in smart office shoes on the wet pavement (sidewalk) as the bus draws to a halt ahead. But she is more self-conscious than taking precaution not to get wet. The moment before her soaking is caught as the water laps across the kerb and into her path. In the background are the West End theatres whose productions attract drama fans from across the world.

  • A pair of awkwardly splayed legs disappear into the cold, murky waters of the Serpentine Lake in London's Hyde Park. Having just dived head-first off a platform that juts out into the lake, the person is half in and half out and the splash is frozen in time. He or she is in incopetent diver with such ungainly plunge into the waters. It is otherwise a quiet moment. The water is largely undisturbed apart from the dive and buoy markers float to for a boundary line to keep rowing boats and bathers apart. This bathing area is where the normally busy Serpentine Swimming Club have the use of this Royal lake known as Lansbury's Lido. It is now normally open only in the summer, but one traditional event occurs each year on New Year's Day, when the ice is broken and brave bathers dive into the cold waters of the lake. The Serpentine will be used for the swimming leg of the triathlon at the London 2012 Olympics. The Serpentine gets its name from its supposedly snakelike, curving shape. It was formed in 1730 when Queen Caroline, wife of George II, ordered the damming of the River Westbourne and other natural ponds in Hyde Park.

  • The Washburn Expedition in 1870 named Old Faithful for its nearly regular schedule of eruptions. It is the grand old geyser of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, because of its frequent and predictable eruptions. The intervals between eruptions average between 45-90 minutes and the average duration is about four minutes. To predict the next eruption, its first continuous surge is timed until the final splash.

  • A house-proud housewife trims her lawn with a pair of scissors in new housing on a terraced Liverpool street. Stooping down to ground level, the lady snips and preens individual blades of grass on an almost perfectly manicured lawn. Her home is new, surrounded by the early 20th century and Victorian terraced housing that populates this part of north-western Britain. There are few cars and two other people cross the road without fear of approaching vehicles – the economy here is largely depressed. And yet, the female gardener has taken the trouble to mow her garden and then trim her esteemed plot. She wears an orange suit too, a splash of colour in an otherwise drab street.

  • Pedestrian and cyclist on rental Boris Bike in a Soho side-street, patterned with purple. During a bust lunchtime in London's Soho many pedestrians and cyclists pass-by a splash of purple that plays across a side street off Charing Cross Road. Produced by reflective coloured panels on an adjacent building - and after a period of light rain in the capital, the vivid rays of colour are a welcome oasis of hues. Motorcycles are parked with mirrors showing the street beyond. A lady walks across the landscape with a cigarette in hand and a male cyclist pedals past on a "Boris bike" - one of the rental bicycles that can be hired for 30-minute journeys across the capital.

  • A group of young boys play in the calm waters of the Indian Ocean on Meedu Island, in the Republic of the Maldives. The shallows are a safe playground for these kids who swim and splash about in the clear shallows next to two small dhoni boats often used to fish using traditional hand and line, an important source of income for remote communities in this island nation. The sea is perfectly clear blue and the sand coral-white, in jeopardy to rising sea levels as global warming makes sea level locations like this vulnerable to flooding. The Maldives comprise of twenty-six atolls, featuring 1,192 coral islands of which 80 are holiday resorts with 200 inhabited by indigenous communities. This Islamic nation of 298 sq km (115 sq miles), lie seven hundred kilometres (435 miles) south-west of Sri Lanka.

  • Bronze Sphynx guarding Cleopatra’s Needle, made in Egypt for the Pharaoh Thotmes III in 1460 BC and brought to London from Alexandria the royal city of Cleopatra in 1878 photographed on the empty Embankment during the coronavirus pandemic on the 10th May 2020 in London, United Kingdom. Britain wanted something big and noticeable to commemorate the British victory in Egypt over Napoleon, sixty-three years earlier. At low tide you can step to the platform on the River side and place flower heads on the platform as an offering to the Thames Isis Goddess and wait. The rising water will splash up the steps then gradually over the platform from each side. When the two washes meet in the middle they slap together and form dual ripples which carry the flowers away. This huge granite structure was engineered precisely to do this and hidden in plain sight for those that can see.

  • Shoppers carry their purchases in yellow Selfridges bags in London's West End. The bags are one of the capital's most striking symbols of British retail and are seen across the city as splashes of vibrant colour on the otherwise drab pavements and streets. The economic recovers appears to have begun in earnest and retail therapy has attracted these Londoners to the West End, away from the larger, warmer shopping Malls on the outskirts of town. Selfridges was founded by Harry Gordon Selfridge. The flagship store in London's Oxford Street is the second largest shop in the UK (after Harrods) and was opened on 15 March 1909.

  • A lady protects herself from a mid-day summer summer sun with a brightly coloured parasol brolley. Oblivious to the viewer, she balances her lunch snack on her lap with toes pointing inwards, exposed to the hot solar rays. Meanwhile, she holds on tight to her eager pet poodle dog who is straining on its leash, wanting to go for a walk along the largely unpopulated promenade in this Devon resort, otherwise known as the English Riviera. But splashes of white paint (from the painted beach huts) have been left on the pavement. It is a horrible place to sit in the sun and her partner has left her alone to sit on her sun lounger, leaving the second chair vacant.

  • A family walk along the surf with their reflections in wet sand at the Welsh seaside town of Llandudno. Holding a very tired toddler, the mother walks alongside the father and a small girl who splashes in shallow water. Their figures are seen in the reflected wet sand at low tide.
