  • Young common hornbeams growing in a Herefordshire meadow. Freshly-trimmed and shaped, the young saplings are spaced around this garden field. Like alders and hazels, hornbeams are part of the birch family, all of which produce male and female flowers in the form of catkins. In hornbeams, the catkins are normally hidden until spring. There are around 70 species of hornbeams found worldwide, mainly in East Asia, but the one most often found in the British Isles is the common hornbeam.

  • A new Trabant car shell is lifted by forklift from a truck at the East German auto maker VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau in Zwickau, Saxony.  A worker carefully manoeuvres the unfinished bodywork into a crate where other vehicles await completion on the production line. The Trabant was the most common vehicle in East Germany - Like the Beetle in the West, its Peoples' Car with a 595 cc, two-cylinder air-cooled engine. It had space for four, was compact, light and durable with its distinctive body shape constructed from Duroplast panels attached to a galvanized steel shell. It was in production without any significant changes for about 34 years, becoming a symbol for the cheap, cheerful and polluting possessions for Communist Europeans. When the Berlin Wall eventually fell, Trabants coughed and spluttered onto West German roads for the first time.

  • Soon after setting sail from Miami, en-route to Cancun in Mexico, passengers of Carnival Cruise's Fun Ship Ecstasy liner are told to report on the top sun deck for the obligatory safety drill. Told to fetch their life vests from their respective cabins and suites, they have gathered at various muster points around the vessel to hear the crews' instructions about abandoning ship or the precuations needed to enter the water. We look down from a higher deck to see several dozen tourists on red vests, milling around awaiting the signal to return to their previous activities and entertainment. Operators like US-owned Carnival take these drills very seriously. Carnival was a pioneer in the concept of cheaper and shorter cruises. Its ships are known for their Las Vegas decor and entertainment. The cruise line calls its ships The Fun Ships and the MS Ecstasy is a Fantasy class cruise ship featuring two pools, whirlpools, a variety of dining options, nightclubs, a casino, and duty-free shopping. After Hurricane Katrina, she spent six months in New Orleans serving as quarters for refugees and relief workers. She suffered heavy damage in 1998 after the laundry room in the ship's stern caught fire damaging much of her stern and aft section.

  • Two businessmen of Asian descent have stopped at a bar in the City of London  and are seated by the window in Cannon Street, near St Paul's Cathedral, England. They both have a similar skin tones and are equally smart in dark suits and ties. The male on the left cradles a pint of beer while other's drink is a half-pint of either lager or perhaps apple juice. They both look successful and confident about their friendship or business dealings as they share a joke or swap stories about their lives. They wear sun glasses against the late, strong sunshine but the background has gone dark because the sun has illuminated only their faces and chests. It is a picture of confidence, success and humour.

  • Four office workers are outside their place of employment in central London for a quick cigarette break. Puffing guiltily on their fags that have sought a dark place on the pavement beneath some shelter although it is warm enough for two of the men to wear only shirts and ties while the only lady present is in a jumper. One member of the group draws heavily on his cigarette, a sign of his addiction and enjoyment of taking a five or ten-minute pause from his office job. A recent report showed smokers each lose an average of 30 minutes a day from their  workplaces to satisfy their habit. The average smoker takes at least three breaks from the office, each lasting around 10 minutes, research for the Benenden Healthcare Society found. The healthcare group estimates that 290,000 working days are being lost by people leaving their office to smoke.

  • Looking down from a high viewpoint, prospective auction bidders take notes from their catalogues of old red British Telecom (BT) pay phone boxes which are lined up on display in their hundreds before the actual sale starts. The 'lots' are squeezed together along pathways allowing customers to thoroughly inspect their potential purchases' details. This is a wide-angle picture taken on the slant with the distant boxes curling around to the left. One man in blue who has opened the stiff-opening door, cranes his neck to look up into the ceiling of these solid cast-iron frames. The K-series kiosks were largely designed in 1936 by the iconic designer Giles Gilbert Scott.

  • A black student works diligently alongside a white-skinned man at the communications company Cable & Wireless in London, England. We see in the foreground, the dark-skinned young man with a short beard is writing with a pencil that has a rubber on the top but the man in the background is out of focus. It is an image of ethnic diversity, of a multicultural Britain with students living and working uninterrupted side-by-side. They are both concentrating on their work in  a generic office or classroom, perhaps entering an examination or performing a corporate test.

  • In the foreground we see the strong forearm of a British army soldier whose blood group O-Negative has been tattooed in large letters beneath an image of a Japanese Geisha girl. He also wears a watch with aq green strap matching his working army fatigues uniform. Behind him are two part-time territorial army conscripts who are sitting on their  army-issued rucksack Bergens awaiting further orders to serve on active duty from Sandhurst military academy to the Balkans during Operation Resolute, the  National Support Element to support NATO action. The dominating figure in the foreground stands upright though we don't see his face. His two conscripts sit on the ground looking dejected or perhaps worried about their forthcoming duties. They are still in civillian clothing, jeans and t-shirts but will soon change into uniform.

  • The tower containing Big Ben amid the Gothic architecture of Britain's Houses of Parliament and jogger on the Embankment. Passing-by at speed with a slight blur, the male sportsman runs by the racks of colourful postcards showing London scenes, their prices written on makeshift marker on a white board. Beyond is Westminster Bridge that stretches of the River Thames, towards the British Houses of Parliament, with Big Ben's clock tower rising high above. It is a fine sunny day and a woman is writing more prices for tourist mementoes of another board, leaning on the river wall. The House of Commons is the lower house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which also comprises the Sovereign and the House of Lords (the upper house). Both Commons and Lords meet in the Palace of Westminster.

  • The tower containing Big Ben amid the Gothic architecture of Britain's Houses of Parliament seen from the Embankment. A male jogger passes-by, a silhouette seen aginst the strong power of Parliament on the River Thames. As he runs across the scene, his head appears to be nudging the clock tower of Big Ben, an appearance of false scale.

  • It is dusk and the evening light is fast-disappearing behind the buildings of Westminster, London. Seen from the south bank of the River Thames and looking over Westminster Bridge, traffic lights trail and the light fades over the Palace of Westminster and the tall clock tower of Big Ben, London England. Street lights flare intensively during the long-exposure and there is enough ambient light to see the reflections on the river's water. The Palace, also known as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, is where the two Houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (the House of Lords and the House of Commons) conduct their business. It is therefore a potent symbol for British Governmental power, influence and a world-famous landmark for tourists. Big Ben is the name of the clock's bell and not the tower itself.

We see the two sides of the class system but it is a humerous scene. There is good nature between the two groups with smiles exchanged with one couple but discomfort from those behind.
