  • On a partially-demolished building, a mural of the ancient  Goddess Nike remains chipped and scraped on an old restaurant wall. Nike was the Goddess of Victory to whom Olympic athletes made offerings and prayers at the Temple of Zeus before competition but this site is in the heart of the modern town of Olympia that has grown up around 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.

  • An ostrich chick stands alone in a private pen, beneath a heat lamp at the ostrich farm belonging to Robert and Nina Bailey near Chepstow, Wales. The reddish glow from the heat source concentrates life-giving energy into the young bird, helping it survive the first three months after hatching. Rearing these birds is a specialist and very expensive business but Ostrich meat is a South African delicacy, used for Biltong. Nutritionists promote it as a more healthy alternative because it is higher in protein and lower in fat and cholesterol. An ostrich lays an egg every other day, of which 40 to 80% are fertile. In the wild there is a 95% failure rate but using an incubator like this almost guarantees total success. Its latin name, 'Struthio camelus', is the largest of living birds with some males reaching a height of 8 ft (244 cm) and weighing 200 to 300 lb (90-135 kg). In the wild, the polygamous male has from two to six females in his flock. The cock scoops out a hollow for the eggs, which weigh nearly 3 lb (1.35 kg) each. One of the females incubates the eggs during the day, and the cock takes over at night. On the savannah they can run at 40mph (64 kph) for 10 hours though their top speed can reach 80mph. During the 19th-century vogue for ostrich plumes, farms were established in South Africa and later in North America, Australia, and Europe; after World War I fashions changed and the industry collapsed.

  • An engineer working underground during construction of the Heathrow Express train project on behalf of Heathrow airport operator BAA (British Airport Authority), London England. While standing erect, he twists a high-tension tool that secures the concrete sleepers to the steel rails using a Pandrol Clip. The tunnel snakes its way into the distance behind him, lit by temporary lighting on the 5-mile tunnel wall. Its sections are reinforced concrete, shaped for the Heathrow Express electric Siemens-built trains that provide a direct link between Heathrow's terminals and Paddington station in central London. This is now the most expensive rail-mile fare in the UK at £15.50 for a 15-minute journey. In 1994 one tunnel collapsed without warning in one of the most catastrophic civil engineering disasters in British history.

  • A boy soldier collapses on the ground suffering fatigue and dehydration on the rigorous 10-mile march conducted as a squad, over undulatiing terrain with each candidate carrying a bergen (back pack) weighing 35 pounds.(plus water) and a weapon. Three senior trainers help revive the lad with smelling salts who fell under the weight of his backpack and weapon carried on a hot day and without drinking enough fluids. The march must be completed in 1 hour and 50 minutes. This forms part of the 14-week long Pegasus (P) Company selection programme. Recruits wanting to join the British Army's Parachute Regiment held regularly at Catterick army barracks, Yorkshire need to pass this and other tests before earning the right to wear the esteemed maroon beret.

  • Walkers make their way towards Gordale Scar, on 12th April 2017, in Malham, in the Yorkshire Dales, England. Gordale Scar is a limestone ravine 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of Malham, North Yorkshire, England.[1] It contains two waterfalls and has overhanging limestone cliffs over 100 metres high. The gorge could have been formed by water from melting glaciers or a cavern collapse. The stream flowing through the scar is Gordale Beck, which on leaving the gorge flows over Janet's Foss before joining Malham Beck two miles downstream to form the River Aire. A right of way leads up the gorge, but requires some mild scrambling over tufa at the lower waterfall.

  • The tails of a The Mikoyan MiG-29 (Fulcrum) fighter jet and an Antonov An-124 Ruslan transporter are seen visiting the 1988 Farnborough Air Show.

  • Possessions and rubbish collects outside a repossessed Victorian terraced house in south London. In the foreground we see a For Sale sign strapped on the brick wall by local estate agents Burnet Ware & Graves in Herne Hill, Lambeth SE24. The front bay window has been sealed up with plyboard to stop squatters gaining entrance and the domestic remnants of evicted owners who have perhaps defaulted on their mortgage is thrown on the path - a scene of domestic poverty. As a result of the 1987 a stock market collapse, the UK economy experienced a downturn resulting in public services suffering a reduction, including the loss of owners' homes. The recession of the early 1990s describes the period of economic downturn affecting much of the world in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

  • Mothers sit with their babies in pushchairs on park benches in the Silesian industrial town of Zabrze. A mining town known formerly as Hindenburg until 1945, under Stalinist thought, miners were considered a "working class elite" and were rewarded with higher wages and better social benefits but after communism, Zabrze has a high rate among mother of Ovarian Cancer because of the pollution, caused by the large concentration of industry, the triangle of land between Zabrze, Chorzów, and Bytom has locally been known as 'death triangle'. Since the collapse of communism in 1989, the environmental situation has steadily been improving due the restructuring of the Silesian industry although more than 250,000 jobs have been lost in coal mining since the reintroduction of capitalism. At the same time, enterprises are enjoying enormous profits.
