  • Edwardian period entrance of the re-opened Carnegie Library on Herne Hill in south London which has opened its doors for the first time in almost 2 years, on 15th February 2018, in London, England. Closed by Lambeth council and occupied by protesters for 10 days in 2016, the library bequeathed by US philanthropist Andrew Carnegie has been locked ever since because, say Lambeth austerity cuts are necessary. A gym that locals say they don't want or need has been installed in the listed basement and actual library space a fraction as before and it's believed no qualified librarians will be present to administer it. Protesters also believe this community building will ultimately sold off by Lambeth council for luxury homes.

  • A detail of broken windows, crumbling plaster and brickwork, of a derelict, abandoned house that features traditional Portuguese tiles, on 12th July 2016, at Cascais, near Lisbon, Portugal. Across the country, and even at important tourist landmarks, buildings sit vacant and often collapsing. Sometimes it is because a previous generation have passed away to leave properties in the hands of arguing families. Beautiful buildings are therefore left to collapse in town centres.

  • An aerial view of unidentified islands seen from a regional aircraft passing overhead the atolls and islands to the north Malé, capital of the Indian Ocean Republic of the Maldives. We see the perfectly clear blue sea surrounding the islands and tiny sandbanks of white coral beach sand, all of which are in jeopardy of rising sea levels as global warming makes sea level locations like this vulnerable to being overwhelmed. The only sign of life is the tiny island in the bottom right of frame where holiday resort accommodation ring this dot in the ocean. The Maldives comprise of twenty-six atolls, featuring 1,192 coral islands of which 80 are holiday resorts with 200 inhabited by indigenous communities. This Islamic nation of 298 sq km (115 sq miles), lie seven hundred kilometres (435 miles) south-west of Sri Lanka..

  • A group of young boys play in the calm waters of the Indian Ocean on Meedu Island, in the Republic of the Maldives. The shallows are a safe playground for these kids who swim and splash about in the clear shallows next to two small dhoni boats often used to fish using traditional hand and line, an important source of income for remote communities in this island nation. The sea is perfectly clear blue and the sand coral-white, in jeopardy to rising sea levels as global warming makes sea level locations like this vulnerable to flooding.

Unfortunately, the practice of tossing away one's rubbish is a normal practice in this culture, the local people selfishly unconcerned about the future of their habitat and the health of their community. Only a few miles from Meedu are islands that serve as holiday resorts where families from Europe travel by air for the perffect vacation - unaware that fly-tipping is so widespread that it threatens this nation's worldwide status as a paradise on earth..

  • Edwardian period entrance of the re-opened Carnegie Library on Herne Hill in south London which has opened its doors for the first time in almost 2 years, on 15th February 2018, in London, England. Closed by Lambeth council and occupied by protesters for 10 days in 2016, the library bequeathed by US philanthropist Andrew Carnegie has been locked ever since because, say Lambeth austerity cuts are necessary. A gym that locals say they don't want or need has been installed in the listed basement and actual library space a fraction as before and it's believed no qualified librarians will be present to administer it. Protesters also believe this community building will ultimately sold off by Lambeth council for luxury homes.

  • Faded grandeur of Casa Miralinda, a mansion house now abandoned and crumbling, on 17th July 2016, in the spa resort of Luso, Portugal. Across the country, and even at important tourist landmarks, buildings sit vacant and often collapsing. Sometimes it is because a previous generation have passed away to leave properties in the hands of arguing families. Beautiful buildings are therefore left to collapse in town centre. In the 11th century, Luso was a sleepy village linked to a monastery in the hills near Coimbra but it became a lively spa resort in the 1700s as its hot water springs became a focus for tourism.

  • Four estate agent's property boards advertise their names and numbers in a London housing estate, each representing vendors selling their houses and flats for a set commission in the housing market. Above the signs is the pink blossom from a cherry tree whose branches hang over the temporary information boards. The term originally referred to a person responsible for managing a landed estate, while those engaged in the buying and selling of homes were "House Agents", and those selling land were "Land Agents". However, in the 20th century, "Estate Agent" started to be used as a generic term, perhaps because it was thought to sound more impressive. Estate agent is roughly synonymous in the United States with the term real estate broker.
