  • Rubbish and litter in the 1990s blocks the waterways of a canal, on 10th September 1994, in Stratford, east London, England. Algae and household pollution lies on the surface of the waters dug by navvies of the Victorian era when canals around Britain helped supply the industrial revolution with the raw ingredients to power the furnaces, mills and wharves of the transport age. This is a small outlet of the River Lea where the future 2012 Olympic Park would eventually be built - the waters once again freed from 20th century dereliction.

  • Rubbish and litter blocks the waterways of a canal in east London. Algae and household pollution lies on the surface of the waters dug by navvies of the Victorian era when canals around Britain helped supply the industrial revolution with the raw ingredients to power the furnaces, mills and wharves of the transport age. This is a section of the River Neckinger that once flowed from south London into the Thames at Bermindsey but during the redevelopment of the warves into expensive riverside apartments, the waters were once again freed from 20th century dereliction.

  • English author/writer Ian Sinclair in his native Hackney, the location for many of his dystopian views on East London. The green waters are in the Regents Canal, filled with algae fed by the materials of the Olympic construction site.

  • Near the end of the military runway at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk England, a road sign warns of low-flying aircraft near the base which is populated by the United States Air Force Refuelling Wing. Beneath the triangular sign is a locally made makeshift advertisement for CJ's, a nearby cafe. It is summer and the shrubs are green with white flowers to the side. The sign itself has become discoloured with green algae after being rained on over successive wet weather days. In the UK, the Highway Code for road-users lists this warning sign (always triangular) as "Low-flying aircraft or sudden aircraft noise." Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903. .

  • 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.

  • Religious lifestyle choices seen in a faded picture of Christian family morals, outside a Catholic church, on 18th July 2016, at Costa Novo, near Aveira, Portugal. Fading and suffering from green algae, the picture of the perfect family who attend Mass is seen in front of the tall cross and building exterior. There are an estimated nine million baptised Catholics in Portugal (84% of the population), in twenty dioceses, served by 2,789 priests. 19% of the national population attend mass and take the sacraments regularly.
