  • High in the Himalayan foothills, dawn arrives on a bitterly cold morning. A traveller has emerged from his rudimentary room on the left of this lodge in Nepal to stand outside staring at the spectacular landscape of snow-capped peaks in the distance. The wind is whipping snow and ice from the peaks of the Annapurna range and trekkers come from all over the world to sample the inner-peace to be discovered here in one of the most dramatic locations on the planet. 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 circuit, a sometimes rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak.

  • It is mid-day on the narrow stretch of river, green lilly pads float on its surface and in unbder a fierce sun overhead, three young men are lazily making their way to the viewer in a rowing boat on the River Thames near the village of Shillingford, England. The young male in the middle is the one rowing and he pulls on one oar to steer around an unseen obstacle in the absolutely calm, clear blue waters of this majestic river whose source rises in deepest Gloucestershire to its industrial estuary in the English Channel 215 miles (346 km) away. But here in Oxfordshire, we see an idyllic scene of adventure and peace on calm rural waters in a beautiful and tranquil setting, on an English midsummer day. 'Three men in  a Boat' published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford.

  • High in the Himalayan foothills, dawn arrives on a bitterly cold morning at Poon Hill. Trekkers have gathered at this spot to take in the wonder of this spectacular landscape of snow-capped peaks in the distance. A sherpa has written his name in ice on a rail and western travellers continue their journey higher into the Annapurna range to sample the inner-peace to be discovered here in one of the most dramatic locations on the planet. Villages partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing and also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers walk through tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary circuit, a rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak.

  • Three silhouetted walkers (two women and one male) near the top of a hill near the village of Churchill, North Somerset, England. The image has only three tones, graduating from dark at the bottom, becoming lighter to the top. It is late in the day and the light is soft and warm in colour and the friends make their way up the gradient in single-file, each striding with legs apart as they climb the hill forming part of the Mendips. It is a scene of tranquillity, the landscape is peaceful and unspoilt for outdoor countryside pursuits like walking, one of the fastest-growing leisure activities in Britain for people who take advantage of rural England.

  • Seen from a hillside opposite, with the clear blue backdrop of the snow-covered Himalayan mountain peaks, a Nepalese family crouch on the hilltop to rest during a family walk from their community village near Gorkha, Central Nepal. In the middle of the picture, a young girl twirls and dances across the clearing as her parents and siblings watch, drawfed by the powerfully- dominant range of natural features that form part of the highest altitudes on earth although Gorkha is only 3281 feet (about 1000 meters) above sea level. These peoples' homes cling to the sides of impressive mountains that draw tens of thousands of travellers to this region to trek the paths and conservation sanctuaries of this fast-developing Buddhist and Hindu Kingdom.

  • An wide aerial landscape of Ghandruk (also Gandruk), a town and Village in Kaski District in the Gandaki Zone of northern-central Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 4,748 persons living in 1,013 individual households. Situated in what is known as the Annapurna Sanctuary (conservation region), a 55-km-long massif whose highest point, Annapurna I, stands at 8,091 m (26,538 ft), making it the 10th-highest summit in the world. The village is also a stopping-off point for trekkers and backpackers who pass-by on their way to the walk in high peaks. The Mountain Region (Parbat in Nepali) is situated at 4,000 meters or more above sea level. Houses and dwellings are substantial structures with properties well-swept and well-maintained.

  • Three young women tourists admire The Coronation of Napoleon (Le Sacre de Napoléon), a painting of almost 10 x 6 metres completed in 1807 by Jacques-Louis David, the official painter of Napoleon. The crowning and the coronation took place at Notre-Dame de Paris, a way for Napoleon to make it clear that he was a son of the Revolution.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, a team of New York City Police Department (NYPD) and a US Marshal walks through a barrier after spending a traumatic shift searching for human remains in the 'Pile' of Ground Zero. Making their way through the general public, they have a look of exhaustion and stress. Haunted but still mindful of the enormous task ahead to investigate the crimes committed here, they go towards a welcome rest. The streets are tall above them and the sky a clear blue as the men carry their hard hats with dust masks still around their necks - protection from the then unknown hazardous elements and chemicals in the environment.

  • A team of two hang in mid-air, half-way down their contract cleaning operation to clear dirt and grime from a corporate office building in Spitalfields, London. One man touches the glass with his fingers as they travel back upwards to the top, before progressing along their route.

  • man is lying down on the steps of Royal Exchange opposite the Bank of England in the City of London, to take a nap under a mid-day sun in the heart of the capital's financial district. A red double-decker Routemaster bus has stopped in a queue of traffic opposite with an advert for London buses saying 'We've got to get this city to work' but with tattoos on his arms and his forehead and wearing heavy army-style boots, he is clearly not on his way to a job and therefore out-of-place in this busy part of London. With arms folded and head resting on an unseasonal coat, the man is asleep and going nowhere.

  • Wearing a turban according to the beliefs of the Sikh faith, a Metropolitan police officer helps an Asian lady citizen outside Buckingham Palace, London England UK. At a time when the 'Met' were recruiting members of ethnic minorities to demonstrate their tolerance of other communities, this man is clearly a symbol of how Britain has changed, since the 1960s to a multi-cultural society. Pointing out direction to help the lady find her way, the officer proudly wears his turban of his religion.

  • The message in graffiti lettering "Don't come here they attack you" has been written on a wall outside a house in the Toxteth area of Liverpool, Merseyside England. Flat 1A has a bright red-painted door and red bricks in an otherwise poverty-stricken district of this poor inner-city where crime and social deprivation has become the normal way of life for Scouses (someone from Liverpool). We see the red theme carried throughout this image of threat and ill-discipline where survival is clearly hard. These 'back to back' terraced houses have largely been demolished during Liverpool's regeneration during the 60s and 70s though some remain, accommodating unfortunate families on low-income.
