  • Postcards are displayed on racks, on Rua de Sao Joao da Praca, a corner in the medieval district of Alfama, on 11th July, in Lisbon, Portugal. The national flag makes an appearance too, the day after Portugal won the final against France in the Euro 2016 football tournament. Alfama partly has its roots from Moorish influences and is the oldest district of Lisbon. Its name comes from the Arabic Al-hamma but could also be derived from the Arabic word Alfamm, meaning the "mouth" in Arabic. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)

  • The rack and pinion narrow guage mountain railway nearing the summit of Mount Snowdon, the highest point in England, on 14th June 1992, in Llanberis, Wales, UK.

  • A rack of quintessentially English 'saucy postcards' are on display in Scarborough, the northern seaside town. Telling jokes to send back to friends and family, they using cartoon characters of buxom women, hen-pecked husbands or sexually-frustrated young men, the humour is bawdy and cheeky - the epitome of seaside holiday kitsch. The best-known saucy seaside postcards were created by Bamforths (founded 1870) and despite the decline in popularity of postcards that are overtly tacky, postcards continue to be a significant economic and cultural aspect of British seaside tourism. In the 1950s, Bamforth postcards were among the most popular of the 18 million items purchased at British resorts.

  • In late afternoon winter sun, a lady emerges from deep shadow wearing a fur hat on the Kings Road in Chelsea, London, England. Foreign magazines line a rack of an outdoor newsagent and we only see the lady's head in the sunlight. There is a low colour temperature orange glow to the picture and only the lady's face wrapped in a fur hat and the magazine covers can be seen in detail. There are few highlights apart from the magazines in the sun, and more shadow area making this a dark image. The Kings Road has been famous in London since the 60s when fashion and flower power was the label most associated with being young and hip in the Swinging Sixties. It is more sober these days but families and young people tend to be wealthier, white and middle-class than other areas such as Carnaby Street which is seen as seedy and cheap.

Elsewhere, a medal is worn for service in Palestine. The unseen gentleman wears a Canadian pin at the top and the contribution of his fellow-countrymen as members of the British Commonwealth is recognised in battlefield cemeteries around the world.
