  • Seen through a junk shop window in north London, the large letters Last Day have been painted in white emulsion paint on the pane of glass. Between the letters are figures and bric-a-brac on sale in this budget store. A tiger model; a Jesus figure; a doll in a green dress. 'Last Day' is also ironic in a Biblical context as it was taken a few days after the Day of Resurrection and Easter.

  • On the eve of transfer of law in Hong Kong from the UK to China, construction workers in Central Hong Kong carry on their tasks during a monsoonal rain shower on the last day of British rule. Some are dressed in yellow waterproof coats and hard hats, we see a British-style sign warning drivers of Men at Work resembling a man holding an umbrella. Lastly, on the right another man on a wall, also holding an brolley. In the foreground a car park sign states that the space is full in red letters and a local authority sign saying "Working for a better environment" is written in Chinese and English lettering. The transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to China, referred to as "The Handover" occurred at midnight on June 30, 1997, signifying the end of British rule, and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China.

  • In light monsoonal rain, a lone pedestrian is seen from a high viewpoint, crossing a zebra crossing with a yellow grid box junction to his right in Central Hong Kong on the last day of British rule. The junction is empty and without any traffic but the word 'Look' is stencilled in white letters for the benefit of unwary pedestrians. An umbrella used by the unrecognisable person is a colour match with the painted striped road markings, identical to the British highway traffic code. The transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover" occurred at midnight on June 30, 1997, signifying the end of British rule, and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China. Hong Kong was once known as 'fragrant harbour' (or Heung Keung) because of the smell of transported sandal wood.

  • A shop window in Camden north London proclaims in red stencilled letters the business is open seven days a week when the store has gone out of business and the words No Hope have been added after the pane of glass has been white-washed. Stickers have been applied and torn off again. It is a graphic picture of irony and delusion, a misguided shop owner who thought his company was successful when it was heading for closure.

  • The light artwork called Run seen during the London 2012 Olympics. Artist Monica Bonvicini created one of the largest works of art for the Games -a  staggered row of three shiny giant letters - 9m high, 5m wide, 1.2m deep spell out the word ?RUN? and reflect their surroundings like a mirror during the day, blend in with them and reflect the observer. This land was transformed to become a 2.5 Sq Km sporting complex, once industrial businesses and now the venue of eight venues including the main arena, Aquatics Centre and Velodrome plus the athletes' Olympic Village. After the Olympics, the park is to be known as Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

The image is in shadow and therefore monotone, with little colour except for the faint blue that is seen above from a fading sky. The wall is painted white and the word in block capitals is in black. The image is clean and simple without confusing elements or messages. The Inn itself is the oldest on Skye and is one of renowned travel writer's Alastair Sawday's special places to stay and which boasts 99 Malt Whiskies behind the counter.
