  • Lunchtime sun for City of London office workers in the grounds of St. Botolph’s without Bishopsgate church. <br />
Christian worship has probably been offered at this location at the church of St. Botolph’s without Bishopsgate since Roman times. The original Saxon church, the foundations of which were discovered when the present church was erected, is first mentioned as ‘Sancti Botolfi Extra Bishopesgate’ in 1212. St. Botolph without Bishopsgate may have survived the Great Fire of London unscathed, and only lost one window in the Second World War, but on 24 April 1993 was one of the many buildings to be damaged by an IRA bomb.

  • Actors in US and Soviet army uniforms hold flags to recount German history during the second world war and later, the cold war - beneath the Brandenburg Gate in Unter den Linden in central Berlin, Germany. The site is near the former border between Communist East and West Berlin during the Cold War. Here also, Berlin was separated by the occupying sectors of US, British, French and Soviet forces after WW2. The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off (by land) West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. The Eastern Bloc claimed that the wall was erected to protect its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" in building a socialist state in East Germany.

  • We are looking up from below at a Latin inscription describing the era of Elizabethan rule, a classic neo-Romanesque architecture of the Royal Exchange building in the City Of London, the financial district, otherwise known as the Square Mile. At the top of Doric and Ionic columns with their ornate stonework, powerfully strong lintels cross, bearing the load of fine artistry and carvings which feature the design by Sir William Tite in 1842-1844 and opened in 1844 by Queen Victoria whose name is written in Latin (Victoriae R). It's the third building of the kind erected on the same site. The first Exchange erected in 1564-70 by sir Thomas Gresham but was destroyed in the great fire of 1666. It's successor, by Jarman, was also burned down in 1838. The present building is grade 1 listed and cost about £150,000.

  • Celebrated grave for the Dublin-born playright and known homosexual, Oscar Wilde in the Pere Lachaise cemetery, Paris. 19th century Irish playwright and wit Oscar Wilde once quipped: "One can survive anything these days, except death, and live down anything except a good reputation." He died in Paris at only 46, impoverished and broken down from years of being villified by Victorian society. He was buried at Père Lachaise with a modest tomb, but a memorial was later erected. Today the monument is covered in lipstick marks left by ardent visitors..

  • Visitors to the ancient site of Stonehenge celebrate the Summer Solstice on the morning of June 21st - the longest day - by dancing in circles while holding hands. The Stonehenge site is a place of pilgrimage for neo-druids and those following pagan or neo-pagan beliefs. The midsummer sunrise began attracting modern visitors in 1870s. Today the stones are owned by English Heritage, the guardians of ancient and historical structures. Most years, substantial police and barriers prevent on-lookers from approaching the stones but on this occasion, revellers were allowed to party long after the early 4.15am sunrise. Stonehenge is a Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monument located near Amesbury in the English county of Wiltshire. Composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones it is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world. Archaeologists think that the standing stones were erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC and served as an outdoor observatory from where to watch the constellations. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986.

  • City worker passes-by on St George's Day as flags fly during the lunchtime of 23rd April, England's national day. Christian worship has probably been offered at the church of St. Botolph's without Bishopsgate since Roman times. The original Saxon church, the foundations of which were discovered when the present church was erected, is first mentioned as 'Sancti Botolfi Extra Bishopesgate' in 1212.St. Botolph without Bishopsgate may have survived the Great Fire of London unscathed, and only lost one window in the Second World War, but on 24 April 1993 was one of the many buildings to be damaged by an IRA bomb. The memorial cross (1916) at the garden’s entrance is believed to be the first memorial of the Great War to be set up in England.
