  • A woman cooks a rat caught in the rice fields around Vinh An, a village specialising in catching rats, Hung Yen province, Vietnam. With Vietnam’s growing population making less land available for farmers to work, families unable to sustain themselves are turning to the creation of various products in rural areas.  These ‘craft’ villages specialise in a single product or activity, anything from palm leaf hats to incense sticks, or from noodle making to snake-catching. Some of these ‘craft’ villages date back hundreds of years, whilst others are a more recent response to enable rural farmers to earn much needed extra income.

  • A portrait of two rat catchers in a rice field in Vinh An village which specialises in rat catching, Hung Yen province, Vietnam. The process of catching rats involves a dog to sniff the rat holes to see if any are there and a bamboo trap placed down the hole to catch them when they try to escape and a lot of digging. Up to 20 rats can be caught from a single hole. The rat catchers then remove the rats canine teeth to stop them biting and place them alive in a basket. They are killed and cooked at home and are a special dish in this area, particularly for weddings.

  • An elderly couple sleep on a seaside shelter's bench on the promenade at the southern English resort of Southend-on-Sea, Essex. As the gentleman clasps both hands and with his stick propped up on the seating, the lady has hooked her handbag around an elbow, her arms folded over themselves as she snoozes for an afternoon catnap. They are the epitome of marital loyalty, a lifetime commitment of stability, love and affection.

  • English author, Steve Boggan with the $10 note that he shadowed across America, described in his book 'Follow the Money'. Boggan is a journalist for UK newspapers and magazines and so by setting free a ten-dollar bill and accompanying it on an epic journey for thirty days and thirty nights across 3,300 miles armed only with a sense of humour and a small, and increasingly grubby, set of clothes. He wrote his book in order to trace the life of the bill - but also to discover something of the lives of modern Americans in an age when plastic cards have largely overtaken the use of paper money in everyday use, especially in small town America.

  • American Eagle flags on crane on construction site in Manhattan, New York City. The red structure is on the roof of a new apartment development in lower Manhattan, New York City. The bald eagle was chosen June 20, 1782 as the emblem of the United States of American, because of its long life, great strength and majestic looks, and also because it was then believed to exist only on this continent.  On the backs of gold coins, the silver dollar, the half dollar and the quarter, we see an eagle's head with the stars and stripes in the background - an image of strength and patriotism.

  • The words Good as Gold are written on the top of a Victorian building in Southwark, south London. With blue sky and clouds above, we see an urban street message sprayed on the former warehouse near Waterloo. “Good as gold” or “as good as gold” are common English expressions meaning something is genuine or reliable. Referring to people, particularly children, they usually mean well behaved. “Good as gold” is one of numerous figures of speech involving gold as a desirable standard of some kind. The expression is a simile, an analogy used to describe something by comparing it to something else. The word “gold” itself is one of the oldest words in the English language.

  • Empty rigid-design gas holders architecture at the Oval, South London. The steel frames are seen against an afternoon sky at Oval, in south London - their strengthening architecture showing how the gasometer design has been an effective method storing gas for a hundred years. The Oval Gasholders at The Oval cricket ground, in spite of no longer being used, are now a grade 2 listed structure. Typical volumes for large gasholders are about 50,000 cubic metres, with 60 metre diameter structures. Gasholders tend to be used nowadays for balancing purposes (making sure gas pipes can be operated within a safe range of pressures) rather than for actually storing gas for later use.

  • Looking up towards majestically tall Ash trees and blue skies, in an Edwardian age semi-detached house on Ruskin Park, Denmark Hill, SE24 (its post code) South London England. It is a beautiful spring evening in this inner-city suburban district of Britain's capital, approximately 5 miles south from the River Thames. A jogger runs past  the elegant line of period homes that were completed in 1908, the age of innovative building in the new 20th Century. The properties overlook the borough park named after John Ruskin, the renowned artist and cultural commentator who lived in nearby Herne Hill. It looks an affluent area, a prosperous location to invest in a mortgage in uncertain times with market prices falling during the credit crunch and recession.

  • A female mute swan (pen) incubates her eggs on a nest surrounded by plastic bags waste, in an urban water basin. Tower blocks are seen across the water in the distance. She shares the nest with wrappers and bottles, bags and cans tossed from a nearby walkway and perhaps drifted on the water from this urban basin in London's Docklands. The mute swan, which is the white swan most commonly seen in the British Isles, will normally mate at anytime from spring through to summer, with the cygnets being born anytime from May through to July. A swan's nest takes 2-3 weeks and the egg laying process begins with an egg being laid every 12-24 hours. They will all be incubated (ie sat on to start the growth process) at the same time with hatching usually 42 days (6 weeks) later.

  • Active trading inside the London Stock Exchange in the City of London during the late-eighties. We see an aerial view of the 1980s-era options trading floor, looking  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.
