  • Bald-headed men seemingly clash in a shaft of early spring light in a side street in the capital's financial district. This is Lombard Street, originally a piece of land granted by King Edward I to goldsmiths from the part of northern Italy known as Lombardy (larger than the modern region of Lombardy). It is a narrow and usually dark sidestreet near the Bank of England in the heart of what is called the Square Mile - the inner-part and oldest quarter of London occupied first by the Romans 2,000 years ago. Nowadays the City of London is home to banks and financial institutions but also with a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000.

  • Tourists lunge over the original 4th century start/finish line in the stadium at Olympia. Hercules is said to have paced out the 600 Greek feet - or Stadion - from which we get the word 'stadium. On the grassy bank in the background is where the seating once accommodated the many sporting pilgrims who travelled to this place from all over Greece during agreed warfare truces in the weeks of the Olympic festival. The 29th Olympics came home to Greece in 2004 and the birthplace of athletics, amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past..

  • A detail showing the fine stitching of a cotton dress by couturier Margaret Howell in the company's workshop factory in Edmonton, North London. England. In close-up, the eye is drawn into the centre of focus where the buttons are held in a criss-cross stich in its four holes. There are pins in this still prototype design as it evolves from an idea on paper to an actual garment. The fine check pattern of its fabric is beautifully sewn together in this fine and intricate dress. Howell is one of Britain's more understated of couture brands alongside more flamboyant personalities. Howell admits to being "inspired by the methods by which something is made .. enjoying the tactile quality of natural fabrics such as tweeds, linen and cotton in a relaxed, natural and lived in look."

  • Young reader and his mum in the re-opened Carnegie Library on Herne Hill in south London which has opened its doors for the first time in almost 2 years, on 15th February 2018, in London, England. Closed by Lambeth council and occupied by protesters for 10 days in 2016, the library bequeathed by US philanthropist Andrew Carnegie has been locked ever since because, say Lambeth austerity cuts are necessary. A gym that locals say they don't want or need has been installed in the listed basement and actual library space a fraction as before and it's believed no qualified librarians will be present to administer it. Protesters also believe this community building will ultimately sold off by Lambeth council for luxury homes.

  • Looking down from a high vantage point, we see boy pupils seated as they gather in front of the Headmaster during morning assembly at the City of London School for boys in central London. Individual faces in neat rows stretch into the distance as we look past the Headmaster who is addressing, facing his students. Some seem serious, a few are looking bored while one boy can be seen coughing into his hand and another looking away with a smirk.  We can see a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds, skin colours and hairstyles. The City of London School (CLS) is a boys' public school on the banks of the River Thames. It traces its origins to a bequest of land by John Carpenter, town clerk of London in 1442. The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.

  • A lady and her pet green Iguanas stop walking along the surf in Miami Beach's coast for a moment to stand on the sand and kiss on the lips. Away from its proper habitat, this reptile looks comfortable in the hands of its affectionate mothering owner and in this warm climate. These exotic  lizards' live in tropical rainforests, in lower altitudes near water sources, such as rivers or streams. They spend most of their time high in the forest canopy, about 40-50 feet above the ground. Iguanas are diurnal, awake during the day. They are also cold-blooded, so they do not produce their own body heat, so need warm temperatures to thrive. Many people in the United States and elsewhere want a green iguana for a pet, so there is a big demand for their capture.

  • As a sleeping homeless man lies curled up in his sleeping bag on a central London pavement, two window cleaners have carefully placed their ladders at his feet to clean a Boots the chemist sign. Each wearing identical blue working overalls and each wiping the frontage with their left hands, the men are symbolic of the working man versus that of a homeless person without a job, prospects or perhaps a future. The wide gap between hopelessness and the pride of one's achievement is shown here on the sidewalk of modern-day Britain. London is home to some 50,000 homeless people whose place of rest can often be recesses and shop doorways where they seek sanctuary from the cold and street violence. On the opposite end of the wealth and social divides are those who seek work with a positive outlook on life.

  • The shadows of two passing locals approach the tiny Cameron-run post office hut at Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. We see in the foreground the freshly painted Royal Mail post box which is lit by early morning sunshine telling us that the next collection is at 2.45pm despite it being 8.50am. This branch serves the local community of this Skye town, close to the Skye Bridge and is not only a place to post letters and packages but to buy miscellaneous supplies like newspapers and food at a time when rural sub-post offices are threatened with closure by a financially-troubled Royal Mail. Small villages like this often say that the post office is the ties its folk together, acting as a nucleus for information about village life. Their closure would therefore mean that the fabric of such remote communities are in jeopardy.

  • A multi-ethnic crowd enjoys a heatwave in the Herne Hill lido, south London, England. A mixture of cultural backgrounds and ethnicities celebrate the warm weather together either in the waters or on the poolside concrete. The water is blue and the skin is either white, sunburned pink or black afro-Carribean. The laughter is genuine with these Londoners relishing this local open-air mecca for healthy sun worship. This lido was opened in July 1937, closed in 1990 and after a local campaign was re-opened in 1994. Brockwell Lido was designed by HA Rowbotham and TL Smithson of the London County Council's Parks Department to replace Brockwell Park bathing pond.
