  • The legs of anonymous airline employees are seen from below a smoking screen that obscures their faces outside Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 building. In afternoon sunshine, the women wear their airline uniforms and are sharing an off-duty puff on their cigarettes as part of their working shift at this international aviation hub. Without seeing their upper-bodies, we imagine their conversation and gossip. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • Two ladies are seen gossiping about someone else in the caseta (marquee) during the Spring Feria in Seville, Spain. Holding on to their small aperitif glasses the two beautiful ladies are close together comparing notes and mischievously swapping opinions during the later afternoon before a whole evening's entertainment when they will party till dawn.

  • Seen from an aerial viewpoint which gives a perspective of deserted housing and empty roads, Jill Parmeter plays post woman. She is a resident of the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. Delivering her own newsletter from door-to-door, she crosses Netherton Street and Tinten Lane to post her local news to residents and friends. The roads are empty of cars- nor is there anyone else to talk to. It is as if this community has vanished, leaving her alone. Poundbury is the visionary model village that Charles, Prince of Wales sought to develop in 1993 as a successful and pioneering town near Dorchester, built on land owned by his own Duchy of Cornwall, challenging otherwise poor post-war trends in town planning and to some extent following the New Urbanism concept from the US except that the design influences are European.

  • With the companionship of a pet dog, an elderly gentleman reminisces about the good old days with a life-long buddy at Alexandra Terrace, in the south Wales town of Abertillery (Welsh: Abertyleri). Together they lean against a stone wall of a road above and look down the hill of their street they may have lived all their lives. In the distance, a younger generation of young girls play at the far end. The men might once have been working men, old coal miners like many folk in this community whose  population rose steeply during the period of (now defunct) mining development in South Wales, being 10,846 in 1891 and 21,945 ten years later. Lying in the mountainous mining district of the former counties of Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire, in the valley of the Ebbw Fach..

  • With his body in shade and only his head in the sun, a Portuguese man stands in the street of central Lisbon to read the headlines of national and provincial newspapers which are pinned by their top right corners for passers-by to glance at or buy. Lit by early morning sun, the daily or weekly periodicals are set in a neat row for the benefit of this man and other citizens of the Portuguese capital. Ornate square tile mosaics are set in the pavement (sidewalk) in a design style that Lisbon is well-known for. In an age of mass-communications, reading one's media on paper in such a manner already seems old fashioned.

  • Dr Safaa Elagib Adam and Maha Faraigon are seated near the window on a flight to attend the first-ever international Conference on Womens' Challenge in Darfur. Discussing conference matters, they sit in a chartered Russian Antonov aircraft during flight to Al Fasher (also spelled, Al-Fashir) in north Darfur where women from remote parts of Sudan gathered to discuss peace and political issues. The short flight saves them a hazardous five-day drive by road, known for extreme acts of violence by rebels and Janjaweed soldiers.

  • In a grass-covered car park, two ladies sit on garden chairs adorned with white table cloth. One pours champagne into a glass flute while her girlfriend reaches down to her beloved pet spaniel dog that eagerly licks at a fresh strawberry. The ladies are attending an international polo match between Great Britain and the USA in Windsor Great Park, near Windsor Castle, one of the Queen's official residences. There is a wicker picnic hamper on the grass too, probably containing the couples' lunch. The day is overcast, with threatening clouds behind the party but despite this, they are in a bubbly and excitable mood. Polo at Windsor is held annually and is one of the main dates on the sporting calendar and social season.

Both dogs are albino-coloured with floppy ears and pink eyes while the two healthy men are dark-skinned and in good-humour, one wearing a singlet vest and prominent silver necklace and the other topless so warm is this summer day.
