  • An eccentric middle-aged man rests his legs on his bicycle while -open mouthed and snoring - snatches forty winks on a striped deck chair in London's Hyde Park, England. We look down on the grass which is still green and lush  on this summer's day in the heart of the city. He is wearing a flat cap with trousers (pants)  tucked in his socks for his next bicycle journey. He is a quintissentially English sunbather enjoying a quiet snooze in a public park open space.

  • Looking down from above, we see young men who are open-chested and with their suit jackets either beneath their heads or on the grass, three office co-workers stretch out over the lush grass and sunbathe during a hot summer lunchtime in Trinity Square in the City of London, England. One has his paperwork under his head and a can of Coke to quench his thirst. Already tanned, the threesome bask under a hot mid-day sun. Risking sunburn after prolonged solar radiation exposure, they enjoy the inner-city heatwave.

  • As a cyclist pedals his way along a path, a man enjoys late afternoon sunshine in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London England. Seen from a central hill in this Victorian-designed open space, there are the terraced housing and larger tenement buildings behind that rise above the tree line in this undulating landscape. The person on the bicycle has been caught between two tree trunks as he approaches the man relaxing on the park bench and another pedestrian is seen further in the distance walking near a red car. It is scene of serenity among the urban sprawl of a capital city, where quiet places are precious and idyllic corners of greenery are highly-sought after. The Brockwell Hall Park Estate was created and landscaped in 1811. It was purchased for the people of Lambeth & Southwark and opened as a public park in 1892 by Lord Rosebery.

  • Two old friends regularly spend afternoons sunbathing at Brixton Lido and talk of old times in the sun. The friends gather every morning in the summer at Brockwell (Brixton) Lido. This is a favourite place in the capital for varied groups of people  to meet, swim or just hang out like these London taxi drivers who regularly meet for exercise sessions, accumulating sun tans during long periods in the sunshine. Brockwell Lido in Herne Hill SE24 was originally built in 1937 at a time of coastal and city pool-building but went into decline when bathers preferred to holiday in warmer Spain. Its revival happened when local entrepreneurs re-opened the business and it now enjoys a reputation for some of the best urban swims in the UK.

  • A man has chosen a free surface to spread himself out on during a lunchtime break in the City of London. Having removed his shirt and tie, he sunbathes topless with only his trousers and shoes, the clue as to his day-job in a London office. There is a heat wave in the capital and others are soaking up rays during a working week. Bronzed and asleep, the young man is carefree enough not to worry about his eccentric behaviour in a public place.

A couple of parasols shade some, and others are topless but otherwise the crowd enjoy the fierce, mid-day heat and sunlight at this seaside resort, a short train ride west from the Portuguese capital. Cascais is a coastal town and a municipality in Portugal, 30 kilometres (19 miles) west of Lisbon. The former fishing village gained fame as a resort for Portugal's royal family in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Nowadays, it is a popular vacation spot for both Portuguese and foreign tourists and located on the Estoril Coast also known as the Portuguese Riviera.

  • In the shelter of a large red and yellow-striped marquee tent, a middle-aged husband and wife relax in deck chairs on Brighton's East Pier, England. The wife appears to be asleep and has taken the prrecution against splinters from the pier's planks by spreading a tiny towell to rest her feet upon. She has dyed hair and large sun glasses and her bony legs are tanned and veined from much exposure to the sun. The husband is also fully-clothed with a loud checked jacket, black shoes and socks and he sits crossed-legged with a peaked cap and dark glasses with his hands across his belly. They are in a peaceful spot on this pier, a Victorian seaside structure built in 1899 for those taking the air to walk out onto the sea without getting their feet wet.

  • Holidaymakers are seated in deckchairs on the North Pier at Blackpool, England. As a man in the back row drinks deeply from a can and a lady next to him looks intently at life to the right, a more eccentric woman sleeps with a lacy handkerchief stretched across her face, pinned inside her sunglasses. Looking very English with embroidered or printed pattern of flowers. This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd. Blackpool is the largest resort in the north of England and visited traditionally by working people from industrial towns and cities during the industrial revolution.

  • Beneath an ugly breeze block concrete wall, a couple are enjoying their holiday in the English seaside town of Paignton, Devon. Sitting in striped deckchairs they are both curiously touching their own genital areas between their legs, perhaps both scratching an itch. The lady in sunglasses wearing a floral dress on the left looks guilty while her topless male partner appears more amused by the interruption. In this depressing corner of Paignton, also called the English Riviera, the grey construction behind them is a grim reminder of what it is often like to holiday in one's own home country where few exotic luxuries are found. Such squalor is unfortunately common around the UK and a reason why people take their vacations abroad. Even the grass below them is bare with weeds growing and soil at the foot of the wall.

A red double-decker Routemaster bus has stopped in a queue of traffic opposite with an advert for London buses saying 'We've got to get this city to work' but with tattoos on his arms and his forehead and wearing heavy army-style boots, he is clearly not on his way to a job and therefore out-of-place in this busy part of London. With arms folded and head resting on an unseasonal coat, the man is asleep and going nowhere.

We see the passer-by in a shirt and tie but only two hands, legs and trousers up to the waist of the sunbather, the rest of his upper-body is obscured by the angle of the lens. It is a witty perspective, leading us to believe that the two men are the same person. It is high-summer and lunchtime in the City of London, England, where workers exit their offices to lap up the welcome sunshine during a rare city heatwave that many take advantage of by lying on steps and benches, while fully-dressed in their work clothes.

  • An elderly man sunbathes on a summer beach in the seaside resort of Paignton, England. The gentleman looks out across the stretch of sandy coast at low-tide and a square pool made by flooding high-tide sea water provides a natural place to swim when the sea is far out. The male in the foreground is seen in close-up and we see the expanse of his back covered in freckles. After many sunny hours beneath solar rays he is tanned but not burned. Nevertheless, he is at risk of the pigment in those freckles turning into melanomas, the cause of skin cancer. More than 10,000 people a year are developing the deadliest form of skin cancer as a result of package holidays and excessive use of sunbeds. Cases of malignant melanoma rose by 650 (6.5 per cent) in a single year as a result of binge-tanning at home and abroad, according to Cancer Research UK.

  • With his personal belongings and beach shingle surrounding him, a man sits on his seaside towel in soft sunlight in Dover eating a snack which is dribbling out of his mouth. The skin from many previous hours of exposure to solar radiation has left him raw and sunburned and therefore dried and dying skin is peeling in shreds on his back and shoulder. He looks like an eccentric local character who seems oblivious to the health risks that his continued sunbathing is inflicting on his bizarrely scorched body.
