  • Disused sign and pier stones near Old Ferry House, now a remote self-catering house at Grasspoint, Loch Don, Isle of Mull, Scotland. Until 1881 a regular packet boat operated between Oban and Grass Point. This was replaced that year by a daily steamer service from Oban to Tobermory. Until that time, cattle from Rum and Eigg were transported by boat to Croig on Mull's north coast, and then driven across the island to Grass Point, on their way to the mainland. Parts of the old drover's route are still visible. The old stone quay is no longer used, except by occasional leisure craft. Grass Point means 'the field of the rock' in Gaelic.

  • In the foreground we see the strong forearm of a British army soldier whose blood group O-Negative has been tattooed in large letters beneath an image of a Japanese Geisha girl. He also wears a watch with aq green strap matching his working army fatigues uniform. Behind him are two part-time territorial army conscripts who are sitting on their  army-issued rucksack Bergens awaiting further orders to serve on active duty from Sandhurst military academy to the Balkans during Operation Resolute, the  National Support Element to support NATO action. The dominating figure in the foreground stands upright though we don't see his face. His two conscripts sit on the ground looking dejected or perhaps worried about their forthcoming duties. They are still in civillian clothing, jeans and t-shirts but will soon change into uniform.

  • Lit by ambient light from airfield spotlights and with an American Airlines jet in the background, is one of three footing support struts belonging to Heathrow Airport's new control tower which is seen at night on the airfield's apron, the movement area where arriving and departing aircraft pass-by. The 285 feet (87 m) high tower is more than twice the height of the original, and was designed by Richard Rogers and constructed by Arup, costing £50m. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). ..

  • Seen from the inside looking outwards, we see one of the giant 38 ton 'torso nodes' of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 roof structure. Developed by Arup to design the geometry of abutment steel, this engineering challenge needed to help support 50 ton rafters to made T5 the largest free-standing building in the UK. In the centre is the torso that sits on top of two feet with the wings splaying out to the window. The main architecture was created by the Richard Rogers Partnership (now Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners) and opened in 2008 after a cost of £4.3 billion. Terminal 5 has the capacity to serve around 30 million passengers a year. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). .

  • Three laughing ladies hold up their sticks of rock beneath a seaside character on the seafront at Blackpool, on 18th July 1993, Blackpool, Lancashire, England. In 1887, sugar-boiling factory owner Ben Bullock bought some plain stick candy band had the idea of putting ‘Blackpool Rock’ through the centre of the rock. Now a major industry in the holiday season in Britain and many seaside towns have their versions with their own names running through the rock. Modern seaside rock is thicker, about 1 inch, and more solid than the original form. Its sugar content is nowadays a reason not to buy as much, the adverse effects on teeth from sugar and colouring by the confectionary industry being a main reason for its decline.

  • 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.

  • A full-scale mock-up of a multinational 50.5 meter-high European Space Agency's (ESA) Ariane 5 rocket is lit by floodlights in an early tropical evening at the main entrance to Guiana Space Centre, Kourou, French Guiana, South America. Glowing orange by the warm lighting, it makes an impressive model against the fading equatorial sky. Seen in scale, a lone human figure stands at the foot of the launcher that in reality, sends massive 8,000 kg payloads into orbit for a variety of communications and International Space Station purposes. Powered by Snecma-made Vulcain engines and boosted by Europropulsion solid motors, these rockets are launched from this facility on the Guiana coast. The building to the left are the CNES offices belong to the French Space Agency.

  • A young magician performs a levitation trick using a lady assistant, in front of a crowd in Covent Garden's Piazza, London. Saying abracadabra or a similar explanation to wow his surrounding audience, the man stands beneath the raised woman, lying horizontally in mid-air. Levitation (from Latin levitas "lightness") is the process by which an object is suspended by a physical force against gravity, in a stable position without solid physical contact.

  • Two children lay down on the ground at the foot of a solid dry stone wall, up in the hills of the area of northern England known as the Dales, near Settle, Yorkshire. The two brother and sister have their faces against the rocks that serve as boundaries and enclosures for farmers and land owners. These walls were built by tradesmen called Wallers, a dying tradition and skill. Dry stone walls are constructed from stones without any mortar to bind them together. The wall is held up by special construction methods and by its weight. The stones must be carefully selected by shape to ensure that they have a large contact surface area with their neighbours and so do not slip. They are a legacy of the movement towards enclosure of common farming and grazing land as English society moved away from medieval feudalism. Model released.

  • Beneath the giant, solid pillars of the Bank of England in the heart of London's financial district - the ancient Square Mile - a man dressed in a traditional pinstripe suit has stopped to make a phone call or check for messages. Halting his journey along this street he has opted to stand in line with a traffic no waiting cone and also near double-yellow lines that restrict parking or stopping. Without the cone or lines this scene would otherwise be without colour - the columns of this financial institution and the pavement (sidewalk) are drab - so the welcome yellow gives this picture more interest. We only see the man from the rear view and so he remains anonymous, a small person set against the scale of a large-scale financial landscape..

  • A few miles from the finish line, this long-distance runner has stopped in agony to lean against the walls beneath Tower Bridge during th London Marathon, England. Pushing against the solid wall and stretching his cramped leg muscles, he grimaces in pain as other runners speed past on their way completing their personal race. Pushed to his limits, this man needs to continue a few more Kilometres to claim his medal and to claim victory. But he still has to overcome the pain of an overworked body. When glycogen runs low, the body must then burn stored fat for energy, which does not burn as readily. When this happens, the runner will experience dramatic fatigue. This is called "hitting the wall".

  • Looking down from a high viewpoint, prospective auction bidders take notes from their catalogues of old red British Telecom (BT) pay phone boxes which are lined up on display in their hundreds before the actual sale starts. The 'lots' are squeezed together along pathways allowing customers to thoroughly inspect their potential purchases' details. This is a wide-angle picture taken on the slant with the distant boxes curling around to the left. One man in blue who has opened the stiff-opening door, cranes his neck to look up into the ceiling of these solid cast-iron frames. The K-series kiosks were largely designed in 1936 by the iconic designer Giles Gilbert Scott.

  • An elderly gentleman wearing a traditional bowler hat and carrying a folded newspaper descends the steps from the bright daylight to the dark of the London Underground, before making his way home from Royal Exchange at Bank Triangle by tube. He is one of the last examples of a bygone age, when many in London's financial district wore such work clothes - a way of typifying a breed of Englishness and class system, known all over, and still expected, around the world. Sadly, gents like this are very rare after modern fashions, lower standards and changed attitudes in the workplace meant that younger men no longer wanted to wear a stuffy outfit to work. The days of the bowler are fast disappearing. Behind him are the tall and solid Corinthian pillars of the 3rd Royal Exchange built in 1842 by Sir William Tite.

  • Among medieval statues, a guitarist and street busker perform for passing tourists in Florence's Piazza degli Uffizi. Dressed in white to echo the medieval figures of city officials that stand in porticos of the main Uffizi building, a man will hug any visitor who wishes to have their photo taken alongside, for the price of a few Euros. Meanwhile, to his right, the musician plays classical songs on his acoustic instrument where its sound travels around this street corner, his notes rebounding from the solid stone walls and pillars.

  • A two and half year-old girl sits next to her three-month old baby brother, eating lunch during a day out with their mother who is seen holding on tight to the boy. With their hands up to each other's mouths, the girl takes a bite of a slice of bread sandwich. She is clearly relishing her food and has a large appetite while the boy seems to enjoy sucking on his fingers before the age where he can eat solids. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released.
