  • In the mid-day heat, all members of the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, stand on the wings of a Hawk aircraft as the official photograph is taken on PDA Day at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus. PDA (or 'Public Display Authority'), is when they are allowed by senior RAF officers to perform as a military aerobatic show in front of the public - following a special test flight when their every move and mistake is assessed and graded. Until that day arrives, their training and practicing is done in the privacy of their own airfield at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, UK or here in the glare of Akrotiri. The pilots are called reds and their ground crew, the Blues after their summer air show uniforms. Since 1965 the team has flown over 4,000 air shows in 52 countries.

  • It is mid-day on the narrow stretch of river, green lilly pads float on its surface and in unbder a fierce sun overhead, three young men are lazily making their way to the viewer in a rowing boat on the River Thames near the village of Shillingford, England. The young male in the middle is the one rowing and he pulls on one oar to steer around an unseen obstacle in the absolutely calm, clear blue waters of this majestic river whose source rises in deepest Gloucestershire to its industrial estuary in the English Channel 215 miles (346 km) away. But here in Oxfordshire, we see an idyllic scene of adventure and peace on calm rural waters in a beautiful and tranquil setting, on an English midsummer day. 'Three men in  a Boat' published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford.

  • Half-way across the Gulf of Mexico, between Miami and Cancun in Mexico, two of Carnival Cruise's Fun Ship Ecstasy's female passengers are at a small circular pool on the Sun Deck to enjoy the first few days sailing on the tropical seas. The two girl friends frolic around the poolside exposing, tanned skin under a baking hot tropical sun at its zenith, directly overhead at mid-day. Carnival's ships are known for their Las Vegas decor and entertainment, calling its vessels Fun Ships. One young lady  wears a bikini featuring a patriotic Stars and Stripes. The MS Ecstasy is a Fantasy class cruise ship featuring two pools, whirlpools, a variety of dining options, nightclubs, a casino, and duty-free shopping.

  • Half-way across the Gulf of Mexico, between Miami and Cancun in Mexico, Carnival Cruise's Fun Ship Ecstasy's passengers are on the Sun deck to enjoy the first few days sailing on the tropical seas. One of the ship's photographers has passed around a ship's circular life ring buoy through which one busty blonde lady has posed for a photograph and is about to pass it on to her nearest neighbour. She is wearing a garish pink and yellow bikini and is holding the life-saving device so that only her breasts are showing, obscuring her face. We see the name of the ship, Ecstasy, around the ring and the plastic ropes are falling on the lady's cleavage, forming circles around her bosoms. In the background, another cruise traveller (traveler) wears a straw sun hat and is also sitting on a blue sun lounger. We see exposed, tanned skin and it looks baking hot with the tropical sun at its zenith, directly overhead at mid-day. Carnival was a pioneer in the concept of cheaper and shorter cruises. Its ships are known for their Las Vegas decor and entertainment. The line calls its ships The Fun Ships. The MS Ecstasy is a Fantasy class cruise ship featuring two pools, whirlpools, a variety of dining options, nightclubs, a casino, and duty-free shopping. After Hurricane Katrina, she spent six months in New Orleans serving as quarters for refugees and relief workers. She suffered heavy damage in 1998 after the laundry room in the ship's stern caught fire damaging much of her stern and aft section.

  • Sitting among others in long grass a middle-class lady reads the high-circulation Daily Mail newspaper during a lunchtime break at the Chelsea Flower Show, in London England. The front page headline reads 'Icy Blast from the Kremlin' in an echo from the darkest days of the Cold War, when western media fuelled the insatiable appetite for propaganda. But this scene is from May 1989 before the fall of the Berlin Wall and when the eastern states of the Warsaw Pact were still ruled by their Communist masters. Visitors to this annual horticultural event either sit in the cool shade or like this woman who appears comfortable cross-legged in sandals and a summer dress, stays under the hot mid-day sun with her tabloid format paper spread and with her possessions kept in a shoulder bag.

  • In mid-day heat of the arid Arizona desert, a complete set of main landing gear undercarriage stands upright amid a field of similar items from airliners at the storage facility at Davis Monthan, Tucson. Here, the fate of the world's retired civil airliners is decided by age or cooling economy. Cannibalised for still-working parts or recycled for scrap, their aluminium is worth more than their sum total. Elsewhere, assorted aircraft wrecks sit abandoned in the scrub minus their bellies, legs or wings like dying birds. After a lifetime of safe commercial flight, wings are clipped and cockpits sliced apart by huge guillotines, cutting through their engineering. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • 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.

  • An aerial view of sunbathing individuals, couples and families, on a sandy beach cove, on 12th July 2016, at Cascais, near Lisbon, Portugal. 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.

  • Seen from a mid-level of the Eiffel Tower, we are looking down on the 15th arrondissement of Paris. Before us are the rooftops of apartment buildings in one of the 20 arrondissements (administrative districts) of the capital city of France. Just adjacent of the Rive Gauche (left bank) of the River Seine and sharing the Montparnasse district with the 6th and 14th arrondissements, it is the city's most populous arrondissement with an area of 8.5 sq km (3.3 sq miles, or 2,101 acres). Many have lead or zinc roofs that are seen as grey material on the tops of these urban homes. It's so bright that some residents have lowered blinds to keep glare out of their cool rooms that overlook other parts of Paris, its trees and curved, narrow streets..

  • A baby girl is crawling on all-fours along her parents' pavement, in a suburban London back garden. Her body weight is spread on two legs and one arm while she moves along confidently, placing her other hand on the warm surface, one summer day. The infant is a approximately 10 months and is gaining strength from her legs which will soon be strong enough to stand and eventually walk. The summer sun is on her back and the shadow of garden chair furniture is on the path alongside her. She has a contented expression on her face as if her little adventure in a big outside, wider world is for her to explore.

Wright made 110 flights at Le Mans and nearby Auvours in 1908 and his legacy for French and global aerospace lives on at events like this where a replica of his Wright Flyer was also exhibited. It is a bright summer's day and the blue sky has vapour trails left by a previous display pilot's jet engine. A prominent British Union Jack flutters on a pole and the words 'invites' (for invited guests only) are printed on to sheets of paper. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903. .
