  • A father chases a runaway tyre (tire) along the wet sand before it crashes into the man's young child, otherwise unaware of the impending impact. Chasing the object is the priority on this winter day at Whitley Bay, a North-Eastern English seaside town. The beach is dark and it has been raining but father and child are enjoying the freedom and common bond during this outdoor game. Waves of the icy North Sea crash onto the seafront and the child is preoccupied with the force of nature and the exhilaration of being outside in the cold. .

  • The last moments of street lighting illuminates the pavement and road as dawn breaks over the shoreline on the untidy and empty seafront in Nea Makri, a coastal town near Athens on the Marathon road. This town is the original route that the Athenian messenger Pheidippides ran in 490BC to deliver news of the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of (Marathonas) Marathon. Nowadays, this is a rather unattractive town with few echoes of Greece's ancient glories although the 29th modern Olympic circus came home in 2004. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past.

  • It is night-time on Blackpool's Golden Mile, the seaside resort in Lancashire, England.

The Golden Mile is the name given to the stretch of Promenade between the North and South piers. It emerged in the late 19th Century, when small-time fairground operators, fortune-tellers, phrenologists and oyster bars set up in the front gardens of boarding houses, This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd.

The man's reddened posterior is pointed towards the viewer and his dachshund (sausage) pet dog stands still looking away to the right, towards unseen interest. A family of four stroll along the sandy beach during low tide. It is a hot afternoon but we only see a quiet scene at this busy resort.

Lying on the smooth sand near the water's edge, a young man wearing a wetsuit lies pretending to be unconscious, having ingested sea water and requiring immediate treatment by the staff, well-versed in saving lives. As one starts chest compressions, the other holds on the mouth before continuing mouth-to-mouth. Passing time is vital if they are to start a heart and get air into the brain.

  • Ducking under the falling spray from a giant wave, a passer-by experience the force of nature from a storm off the coasts of southern England - here at the Port of Dover, Kent. As the water hits the sea defence wall, the seaside town is battered by southerly winds that bring with them huge breakers across the promenade. Adventurous and foolhardy people brave these conditions and stay for as long as possible at the railings then jump out at the last moment before getting doused in salt spray. This man carries on walking and thinks that by bending down, the sea will pass overhead.

There are four old ladies and one man in the group, all dressed in summer clothes for their day at the beach. Only the gentleman is looking our way as the women are otherwise occupied. There is litter at their feet and garish posters are behind them. The man is outnumbered, a gender ratio of 4 to 1.

  • On a crowded spring day at the seaside, when families and holidaymakers, daytrippers and locals gather at England's coastal regions, a woman here is seen biting into a very soft cream cake. Covered with a chocolate topping, she sinks her mouth into its pastry and somehow manages not to let the cream ooze out over her clothes. Holding a serviette to catch drips, she looks elsewhere as behind, others stand or lean against the solid concrete sea defence wall at Scarborough, North Yorskhire.

  • Four water-logged deckchairs have been abandoned on a wet Brighton's East Pier in East Sussex. It is Spring but the rain has driven away holidaymakers from this desolate and depressing spot from England's South coast seaside resort. We see a gloomy, grey sky and empty horizon with neither people, nor water activity but the stripes of the railings are echoed in the reflective wooden planks on this Victorian-era pier and of the fabric on the deckchairs. We wonder who might have sat on these chairs and where they might be now?  This landscape might be the antithesis of a holiday poster that repels rather than attracts tourists to this location.
