  • Two businessmen walk through sunlight and towards shadows at Cornhill Exchange in the City of London, the capital's financial heart. In perfect sync, their steps are the same as they progress towards the darker corner of this covered portico, beneath tall pillars of classic neo-Romanesque architecture of the Royal Exchange building. At the top of Doric and Ionic columns with their ornate stonework, designed by Sir William Tite in 1842-1844 and opened in 1844 by Queen Victoria). It’s the third building of the kind erected on the same site. The first Exchange erected in 1564-70 by sir Thomas Gresham but was destroyed in the great fire of 1666. It’s successor, by Jarman, was also burned down in 1838. The present building is grade 1 listed and cost about £150,000.

  • Seen from a low angle at the side of the track, near where grass and daisies grow, a speeding Eurostar TGV train hurtles towards the viewer, blurring as it comes towards us. This is the Kent countryside, otherwise known as the fertile Garden of England, and the route for high-speed trains that ply back and forth between western Europe and London St Pancras. This international passenger service was made possible by the completion of the Channel Tunnel in 1994 operating eighteen-carriage Class 373 trains which run at up to 300 kilometres per hour (186 mph) on a network of high-speed lines. Eurostar is operated by the national railway companies of France and Belguim, SNCF and SNCB, and by Eurostar (UK) Ltd (EUKL), a subsidiary of London and Continental Railways (LCR) which in turn also owns the high-speed infrastructure and stations on the British side.

  • A workman manhandles a heavy roll of carpet in a Mayfair street, central London. Struggling under the awkward load, the man is hunched to take the weight as he makes his way towards his van, the process of removing the rug away. Above his head we see the sign pointing in the opposite direction - as if the wrong way according to the whatever rules apply.

  • A businessman checks messages while walking past an City garden of bushes and shrubs. The corner of urban landscape - of concrete and stone slabs - also features this area of greenery, carefully landscaped inside a wall. The male figure has passed-by and continues walking towards sunshine, his shadow behind and his small briefcase in his left hand. This is the capital's financial heart - the City of London, known as the Square Mile, founded by the Romans in AD43.

  • Cyclists pedal past an office foyer entrance featuring dots and circles on exterior windows in the City of London. As the rider passes-by, the spots on the window repeat on the wheels of the bike on a bright day, where contrast is high and shadows deep. Traffic has made its way northwards across London Bridge from the southern bank to the city itself on the north. There is little colour, a scene of monochrome - of greys and blacks.

  • Two Hawk jets from the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, almost touch in mid-air at an altitude of approximately 4,100 feet in the Mediterranean skies above Cyprus. The texture of mottled cirrus cloud provides a soft background for the  aircraft which approach each other at a combined air speed of approximately 800 miles per hour (1,200 kph). The Opposition Loop is flown by the two pilot partners known as the Synchro Pair who fly independently of the other seven in the second-half of their 25-minute show. The two jets have vegetable dye and derv (diesel fuel) smoke mixture coloured red, blue or white. Here it traces the paths of both airplanes which curve from the edges of the frame to the centre (center). To the crowds far below, both look as if they are on collision course but will safely pass within feet of each other.

  • Hopton's Alms Houses, London SE1. Hopton's Almshouses were built in 1752 by trustees appointed under the will of Charles Hopton. Twenty-six poor persons were chosen to occupy the houses and Almsmen were allowed to marry but the original rules were framed to prevent children of the almsmen becoming chargeable to Christ Church parish. Each almsman was to receive a chaldron of coals and a payment of not less than £6 a year. The almshouses consist of a continuous range of two-storey cottages on three sides of the central lawn with trees and paved paths.

  • Facing a setting sun, the near-exhausted rowers of a small ‘jolly boat’ has almost completed the long Great River Race by pulling their oars along 22 miles of the River Thames. About to row past the battleship HMS Belfast on the right and under Tower Bridge beyond, the four friends negotiate the choppy waters of the capital’s river. The Great River Race (also known as 'London's River Marathon') attracts both the true racer and the leisure rower. The course from Richmond to London docklands was inspired by the immense interest generated by a 1987 charity event in which the famous Doggett's Coat & Badge winners from The Company of Watermen & Lightermen rowed its shallop, or passenger barge, from Hampton Court to The Tower of London.

  • From an aerial perspective, we look down on the green algae and a lone rower who is sculling upstream of the River Lea (Also Lee) in east London, England. The words No Fishing have been painted by hand on a old Victorian lock that once served as a navigable route for barges to negotiate this inner-city waterway. With its source in the Chiltern Hills and ending in the River Thames, this stretch of river has seen development from Saxon times through to the building of the 2012 Olympic site at Stratford. Meticulously placing his oars in the water, he parts the organic growth with the slim boat's hull and looks over his shoulder to check his distance and angle as he nears the lock’s concrete spans.

  • A fisherman from the Maldives sits making a call on his mobile cell phone on the bow of a dhoni boat which heads along on a calm Indian Ocean. After a hard day's fishing he gazes forward to open sea where an almost uninterrupted view of sea and horizon is seen beyond except for a small island is faintly in view. Even small remote atoll communites in the Maldives have strong phone signals and many also have good Wi-Fi connections. He and his crew have been catching Yellow Fin Tuna in the seas north of the capital Male in this Islamic Republic. Their catch is for export to the EU and in particular, the UK's supermarkets. There is no limit and no obvious destination, just infinity and the thought of tomorrow.

  • Five friends walk briskly along a street in the southern Polish city of Krakow. One of the ladies is a bride and has either just married the your man whose arm she's holding, or she is hurrying to her wedding ceremony and the friends around her are all on their way to the church. Another girl is probably her bridesmaid, dressed in frilly blue. There are bouquets of fresh flowers and this is a very special day for these young people who are delighted to attend this wedding somewhere in this city where so many atrocities occurred during the second world war. The picture looks dated from the 1980s but it's the summer of 1990, when Poland was about to undergo massive changes economically and culturally. Their clothing looks very east European for that era and are about to stride past a unisex hairdresser's shop window where a model's face stares to the viewer.

The temple behind was built by Amenhotep III, completed by Tutankhamun then added to by Rameses II. Towards the rear is a granite shrine dedicated to Alexander the Great and in another part, was a Roman encampment. The temple has been in almost continuous use as a place of worship right up to the present day.

  • Next to a beach bather, water pours from an outlet pipe on a tourist beach on Coloane island Cheoc Van beach, Macau, China. With his face towards the course sand, the bather lies with his head towards a large wall, whose large stone blocks accommodate the pipe at the bottom. Apart from a pair of brief swimming trunks and a sun hat, he lies with ankles crossed, as if in paradise. But this seemingly industrial landscape is far from the idyllic place other tourists might wish to frequent. We do not know how filthy or indeed how pure, this water that pours out from the ground is, but the suspicion is that the pollution may affect human health. The once-Portuguese colony of Macau is now administered by China as a Special Economic Region (SER) and the official languages are Portuguese and Chinese.

  • Hundreds of Chinese tourists walk towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony inside The Forbidden City, a Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost 500 years, it served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government. Built in 1406 to 1420, the complex consists of 980 buildings. The palace complex exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.
