  • As the Statten Island ferry nears the business district and skyscrapers of Manhattan Island, a New York City Police Department (NYPD) police officer stands guard at the very front (the bow) of the boat. It is approximately ten days after the 9/11 attacks and with pistol safely holstered and arms folded, he can see the settling dust from Ground Zero beyond the safety chain, where the Twin Towers once stood. It is a bright day and behind the policeman, commuters are already returning to work because normality is a priority for those affected by disruption and fear.

  • The white middle-classes gathered in Parliament Square to protest against plans for a third runway at Heathrow airport - blighting, they say, thousands of homes in London's aviation hub's flight paths - especially to the west of the capital.

It is a bright day on the beach at Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England.

  • A wife gives an tight, affectionate hug to her husband on the Promenade at North Bay, Scarborough, North Yorkshire. There is no such showing of reciprocated love from the man who continues to read a cricket report in the sports page of his tabloid newspaper. She is wearing a floral summer top and he is topless. In the background we see a bustling sea front. People are walking along the Prom, enjoying the sun and warmth of this usually chilly area of Britain.

  • A close-up detail of teenage words, written in marker pen on a young person's arm in the departures concourse of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. Holding the handles of her baggage trolley that has an open bag in which we see some possessions, the girl displays the words 'I (heart) love you' and the name of Kentin Bisou. It may be a declaration of true love or just a teenage prank before an adventure starts from this aviation hub. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). .

  • Amid the hectic arrivals concourse of Heathrow airport's Terminal 5, a young couple kiss and hold on to each other after a few weeks separation when the girl took a family holiday away from her boyfriend who needed to work here in London. They have clearly missed each other after such a short break from each other but are otherwise oblivious to the crowds that surround them in this busy international airport. The boy holds the girl's bottom in a display of sexuality that is frowned upon in other cultures where open sexual behaviour is taboo. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • A departing lover hugs her boyfriend farewell before her long-haul flight in the Departures concourse at. Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. While embracing her young man, she gazes off into the distance amid the otherwise busy airport terminal where the emotions of parting as well as the joys of reunited loved-ones are played out in various parts of aviation hubs around the world. They are both in their own worlds, removed from the noise and confusion of other passengers. Her departure is brief and yet their sadness of being separated is plainly too much to bear. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). .

  • Specialist Corporal Mal Faulder is an armourer engineer (qualified to handle ejection seats and weaponry on military jets) but here in the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team he is seen polishing the aircraft's flying surfaces using wool and cleaning fluid on the morning of the team's PDA Day. PDA (or 'Public Display Authority'), is a special test flight when their every move and mistake is assessed and graded. Corporal Faulder is to buff up the airplane for an extra special shine on such an important day and we see the UK's Union Jack flag on the side of the diagonal stripes of the tail fin. The Red Arrows ground crew take enormous pride in their role as supporting the aviators whose air displays are known around the world. Blues like Mal outnumber the pilots 8:1. Without them, the Red Arrows couldn't fly.

  • Darren Budziszewski is a Junior Technician engineer in the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team. He is seen carefully standing in the cockpit of a Hawk jet closely inspecting the Plexiglass canopy for smears and scratches. Stooping at the open surface while keeping back flat and his knees bent, its posture that the RAF teaches its employees. Darren polishes the aircraft before its pilot emerges from the building at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus. The Red Arrows ground crew take enormous pride in their role as supporting the team whose air displays are known around the world, cleaning the red airplanes on their day off, so particular are they. The image is backlit and both canopy and man are bottom-weighted to allow us to see space and sky. Specialists like Darren outnumber the pilots 8:1 and without them, the Red Arrows couldn't fly.
