  • Mexican Papantla Flyers perform a pre-Hispanic ritual dedicated to their sun god, a leap from a 90 foot pole, on 15th May 1996, the Tulum ruins, Yucatan, Mexico. Dressed in their native costumes these men lash themselves to this towering pole with a leather bindings and soar off into space backwards and upside down in the ultimate leap of faith. The Papantla Flyers are Totonac Indians performing an ancient fertility ceremony. As they slowly descend to earth, the 13 revolutions made by the four flyers equal the 52-year span of the Aztec century. They represent earth, water, fire and air and the interweaving of these four elements symbolizes the creation of new life. A fifth man is left on top, dancing on this tiny nine-inch platform while simultaneously playing both a pre-Columbian flute and drum.

  • A bemused passer-by walks past a strange sight in Wardour Street, Central London, England UK. Even for London where bizarre events take place, this strange scene attracts attention from strangers such as this mountain bike that has been attached to the top of a parking notice pole, locked in place by a D-lock - a crime prevention measure to thwart any determined bike thief, of which there are many in the city. Cycling in London is increasing by 80% every year but 52 bikes are stolen with nearly 440,000 reported stolen a year.

  • A family punts down the River Thames near the village of Shillingford, Oxfordshire England. Lazily they glide down the calm rural waters in a beautiful and tranquil setting, on an English summer afternoon. A young man stands on the boat's stern dragging a pole through the rippled water to propel the vessel upstream. There is golden light across the narrow stretch of the river, yellow flowers are on the bank and a faint breeze fills the triangular sail which is reflected in the clear water that flows a length of 215 miles (346 km) from Gloucestershire to London.

  • Two businessmen pass-by a slogan about the future of the aviation industry written on a red hoarding at Britain's Farnborough Air Show, Hampshire, England. "What aviation needs is a giant leap forward" it says on a deep red background, next to a door that has also been covered in the primary colour. A pole vaulter is about to leap across the picture to prove the giant momentum needed to spring aviation into the future. The Air Show is one of Europe's premier aviation show events, attracting global companies selling aerospace equipment and enthusiasts who watch daily flying displays. It is seen as a thermometer for current innovation and future trends.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, a Cowboy.com ad (a software company) is seen on top of a pole at the roadside on Highway 27 in Mt Airy, near Baltimore, Maryland. At a time when a show of unity and patriotic support was important to Americans, many sought to express their anger and patriotic duty to send clear messages to those held responsible. "Don't Mess with the USA" was a favourite message but this internet company's cowboy advert complete with stetson and mirrored glasses was also a popular motif favouring aggressive replies.

  • The British Union Jack Flag flies in a stiff breeze, its colours of red-white and blue almost wholly horizontal as the wind tears through the blue skies and beneath wispy cirrus clouds, in Eastbourne, West Sussex, England UK. Tied to its flag-pole, this symbol of patriotic nationalism, evokes a sense of pride and spirit the British are known for - having encouraged them through two world wars and more recently, other military campaigns. The colours (colors) of Scotland's blue and white crosses and the English cross of St. George are merged to make this well-known symbol of the British Isles.

  • Two children ride a merry-go-round on the sea front at Southport, Merseyside, northern England. Hanging on to the carousel's horse, the youngest child is a boy who grips the pole as he whizzes through along while an older girl who is possibly his sister, leans forward as she enjoys the circular speed. The background blurs but we see the bright lights above the pier's amusement arcade entrance (the second longest pier in the UK) but it is a chilly winter, an off-season day with few people about on this chilly day nearing Christmas.

  • A local man carries tourism industry supplies downhill on the Annapurna Sanctuary trekking route in central Nepal. With the heavy load on his back, supported in the traditional Himalayan manner of a head strap that steadies the pack, the man makes his steady way down the foothill using a long pole for extra balance. Communities here partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing but also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers from all over the world walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary circuit, a sometimes rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak. To be greeted by so much choice is the most rewarding experience and the offer of hot showers is about the best reward for so much exertion.

  • A detailed close-up of a trader in the central fish market of Malé, Republic of the Maldives. It is located to the west of Republic Square. This area is the main hub of trade and is a hive of activity through out the day. The waterfront and the by-lanes in the area are crowded with shops stocked with a variety of good. Grasping tight a handful of slippery skipjack tuna tails, the unseen man is carrying the fishes over to a stall table for a customer who wants them gutted and filleted, a scene that is familiar in similar markets across the world. The skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis), represents 50-75% of all fish caught. The main method is pole and line in the Indian Ocean and fishery is the main occupation and major livelihood of the Maldivian people.

  • Aerial view of a Rabbi as he the last candles before the next service in Bevis Marks Synagogue in the City of London - the oldest synagogue in the United Kingdom. As we look down on a balcony above, we look down on the holy man as he prepares his place of worship for the London Jewish community. Using a long pole that reaches up to the 7 hanging candelabras (symbolising the seven days of the week, the largest of which - represents the Sabbath) he lights every one. This central candelabrum was donated by the community of the Great Synagogue in Amsterdam, upon which Bevis Marks' interior is largely based. The candles are still lit today for weddings and the Jewish Festivals. The synagogue is located off Bevis Marks, in the City of London, built in 1701 it is a Grade I listed building.

  • A young girl hugs her beloved pony at a gymkhana meeting in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. Gymkhana is an Indian Raj term which originally referred to a place where sporting events took place and referred to any of various meets at which contests were held to test the skill of the competitors. In the United Kingdom and east coast of the United States, the term gymkhana now almost always refers to an equestrian event for riders on horses, often with the emphasis on children's participation (such as those organised here by the Pony Club). Gymkhana classes include timed speed events such as barrel racing, keyhole, keg race (also known as "down and back"), flag race, and pole bending.

  • With images of Olympian athletes such as pole vaulter Polish Pawel Wojciechowski, American swimmer Michael Phelps and long Team GB jumper Phillips Idowu, workers push barrows of retail food outside the Olympic Megastore in the Olympic Park during the London 2012 Olympics. This land was transformed to become a 2.5 Sq Km sporting complex, once industrial businesses and now the venue of eight venues including the main arena, Aquatics Centre and Velodrome plus the athletes' Olympic Village. After the Olympics, the park is to be known as Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

  • Eccentric woman holds a globe with a Jesus figure on the North Pole during Pope Benedict XVI's papal tour of Britain 2010, the first visit by a pontiff since 1982. Taxpayers footed the £10m bill for non-religious elements, which largely angered a nation still reeling from the financial crisis. Pope Benedict XVI is the head of the biggest Christian denomination in the world, some one billion Roman Catholics, or one in six people. In Britain there are about five million Catholics but only a quarter of Catholics regularly attend Sunday Mass and some churches have closed owing to spending cuts.

  • This black and white scene is in a City of London side street where a bicycle parked on a parking pole at a kerbside has somehow fallen over in the gutter. Fittingly, the parking bay is for specifically for a disabled motorist and that word has been stencilled in bold white lettering on the wet road surface after a rain shower. The pavement and tarmac glisten making it slippery but the bike has been left and there is no-one in this scene. Reflected inn the puddle is the modern architecture of the office building, also seen rising from street level.

  • In fine, late-summer weather, an eleven year-old girl gingerly steps over a stile on the coastal path at Carregwastad Point, near Strumble Head, Pembrokeshire, Wales. Steadying herself with a walking pole, she climbs over wearing trainers rather than stout walking boots as this path is gentle for younger outdoor enthusiasts. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path is the first National Trail in Wales. Opened in 1970, the path is almost entirely contained within the boundaries of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park that takes in 17 Sites of Scientific Interest (SSSI), two nature reserves, and Wales' only marine nature reserve. The cliff tops offer wonderful expanses of wildflowers in Spring (April and May are best). Wide variety of birds nest along the cliffs, and grey seals can often be seen in the water below.

  • On a wooden boardwalk that stretches across a sandy beach landscape, a young girl runs at full speed away from her mother and younger brother who walk along this walkway on the beach at Calais, France. It is low-tide, hazy winter sunshine makes soft shadows on the sand but there are few people out in the cold beyond except for a family in the surf approximately 200 yards away in the distance. Half-way back to the shore is a lone lifebelt attached to its pole in case of emergency. This near-deserted beach is an idyllic and tranquil place, allowing children to let off steam. Ffrom a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released.

  • Behind railings that honoured American aviator Wilbur Wright at the annual Le Mans air show, France, seven spectators gaze upwards to a clear sky where a lone but unseen aircraft performs in front of the French crowd. Wright made 110 flights at Le Mans and nearby Auvours in 1908 and his legacy for French and global aerospace lives on at events like this where a replica of his Wright Flyer was also exhibited. It is a bright summer's day and the blue sky has vapour trails left by a previous display pilot's jet engine. A prominent British Union Jack flutters on a pole and the words 'invites' (for invited guests only) are printed on to sheets of paper. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903. .

Adding to his already popular NHS 'house' on the pavement, McKeon (whose arts practice is normally figurative and heritage carving projects) has created a circular podium attached to a traffic sign pole, of miniature healthcare employees holding placards reading 'Save Lives' and 'Help Us Help You', in the spirit of supporting the NHS during the Covid pandemic. McKeon says the piece was made during his lockdown time at home, shared with a partner who works in Mental Health.
