  • A group of attractive young ladies sit together in a train compartment. They are all on their way from London's Waterloo mainline station to Royal Ascot in Berkshire for Ladies Day during the Royal Ascot racing week. Wearing their best clobber and obligatory headwear for the posh event, the seated females are dressed in summer skirts and tops, in readiness for a warm day at the races. Sharing a joke and with plastic glasses filled with champagne from a bottle that one has been serving from, the 7 women are in good spirits in their private first class compartment that has a number 1 on the outside door. Royal Ascot is held every June and is one of the main dates on the sporting calendar and social season.

  • We are looking up from the ground to crowds gathered in three levels of a multi-story car park to await athletes pass during the London Marathon. The runners will make their way through the streets of East London beneath these spectators who have been patiently waiting for their friends and families to pass below. It is a great viewpoint from which to view such a sporting spectacle and we are peering up at the supporters leaning against the discoloured (discolored) concrete architecture dating back to the 1970s. It is the best elevated place to witness the race. There are three rows of 5 columns totalling 15 seperate windows and each one is full of families young and old. They resemble the compartments of a garden pet hutch where rabbits are kept in cramped conditions.

  • Using the Ball Mat Flooring System, below the flooring of economy class, a cargo handler manhandles a container of air freight into position in the hold of a Sri Lankan Airlines Airbus A340 that is about to depart from Male, the capital of the Republic of the Maldives  to Colombo. Inside the aluminium box is fresh tuna fish, freshly caught in the Indian Ocean and bound for the supermarkets of the EU and in particular, the UK whose insatiable appetite for fresh, perishable and sustainable foodstuffs make this fast and efficient form of transport important to speedy delivery. Every square inch is accounted for but as well as passengers' baggage, the cramped spaces beneath this modern airliner store loaded revenue-rich cargo though specially-pressurised and heated compartments accommodate live animals.
