  • Wearing a large green helmet with the number 26 painted on the front, a worried-looking black soldier recruit gazes into the distance in front of a white army  instructor at the large Garrison at Catterick, England. Here, the Parachute Regiment (The Paras) - hold part of their famous basic training programme called Pegasus (P) Company. The most notorious selection procedure in the British Army. After initial recruitment, each student is sent to either pass or fail a set of 9 events from which a total score of 90 points is possible. 58% or more passes, less fails. Events like the 18 mile Forced March followed by a further 5 miles can earn 10 points though this will inevitably prove too much for many young man, desperate to pass P Company and earn his prestigious beret (Like the Foreign Legion).

  • A competitor in the annual Birdman of Bognor event stands on the pier floor boards at Bognor Regis, East Sussex, England. English eccentrics gather annually at the southern seaside town to jump from the pier into the chilly waters of the English Channel.

Entrants (who often jump for charity rather than any aeronautical pretensions) include sugar plum fairies, condoms, Ninja Turtles and vampires. The winner was a hang-glider pilot reaching 26 metres but here, a Spitfire pilot sponsored by a milk company eventually dropped vertically.

  • St Columba's church at Gruline, Isle of Mull, Scotland. The building of St Columba’s at Gruline was begun in June 1873, the cost being divided between Captain Parr of Killiechronan and Colonel Greenhill-Gardyne of Glenforsa House. The church was completed in December 1873 and the first service held there in June 1874, with 26 people present for the English service in the morning and 47 for the Gaelic service in the evening. The church and the adjacent burial ground were consecrated on Sunday 4th July 1875 by Bishop George Richard Mackarness (1823 – 1883). It was the first church to be consecrated in Mull for some centuries. There are memorial plaques to these two benefactors on the walls of the nave. In 1893 the Gruline Estate was sold to William and Mary Melles. Much of the woodwork in the church was carved by Mary Melles, including the pulpit and reredos. Daphne Margaret Gough, Mary Melles’s grand-daughter was the only person, it is believed, to have been baptised, confirmed, married and have her ashes buried at Saint Columba’s.(http://www.grulinechurch.org.uk)

  • The ever-turning London Eye is seen over the River Thames with the Palace of Westminster and Parliament beyond. The wheel is blurred after a minute's exposure and the blue sky behind renders evening as a romantic cityscape backdrop. We see Big Ben in the Tower of Westminster and Parliament just as they have become floodlit and the stand out set against the other buildings, very easily recognised as the iconic London landmarks known around the world. The Eye, or as it was known in 2000, the Millennium Wheel, was designed by architects David Blian, Julia Barfield, Malcolm Cook, Mark Sparrowhawk, Steven Chilton and Nic Bailey, and carries 32 sealed, air-conditioned passenger capsules which rotate at 0.26 metres (0.85 feet) per second (about 0.9 km/h or 0.5 mph) so that one revolution takes about 30 minutes.

  • Hopton's Alms Houses, London SE1. Hopton's Almshouses were built in 1752 by trustees appointed under the will of Charles Hopton. 26 poor persons were chosen to occupy the houses. 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.

Villages such as these partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing and also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary, a sometimes gruelling walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak - and beyond. Tea houses are dotted along the trail offering lodging, refreshments and basic, but delicious food to the weary traveller and the landscapes are often shared with local livestock.

  • The Monday morning following the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11th we see members of the National Guard wearing dust masks standing beneath the high columns of the Federal Hall, located at 26 Wall Street in New York City. It was the first capitol of the United States of America and the site of George Washington's first inauguration in 1789. It is also the place where the United States Bill of Rights was passed. To celebrate the near-return to financial normality, New Yorkers' spirit was proved intact by the hanging of US flags from buildings. Days after the historical events, security was prominent at all nationally symbolic institutions and buildings. As a show of force, it was also a clear deterrent for would-be criminals when New Yorkers felt vulnerable to further attack.

  • Abandoned neon pub sign is on the famous Marathonas Avenue near Nea Makri, the original route that the Athenian messenger Pheidippides ran in 490BC. The runner was sent to deliver word of the Greek victory over Persia at the Battle of Marathon. Running 240 km (150 miles) in two days to request help when the Persians landed, he then ran the 40 km (26 miles) from the battlefield Athens to announce the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of Marathon with the words 'We have won'. The story inspired the marathon and at the birthplace of modern sports at ancient Olympia, where for 1,000 continuous years, the ancient pagan festival of sport and debauchery were held. The 29th Olympics came home to Greece in 2004. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered even then, as now.
