  • Holding her doll, a young white child wearing a pink dress explores the Délice Restaurant in old Kourou, French Guiana, South America. The daughter of French parents who are in this French-administered colony in connection with the nearby European Space Agency (ESA). The girl is confident enough to leave her parents' side and appear in an open doorway. On the other side of the wall is a giant brightly-painted mural depicting a more traditional side of life in this tropical country. The word Guyane is the French name for Guiana. A female in national costume stands near a palm tree, local produce and vegetation. Meanwhile a dark-skinned Creole man sits on a stool smoking a cigarette chatting to unseen friends - a barfly occupying his usual lunchtime seat. It is a scene of internationalism, cross-culture and youth versus old age. .

  • On the edge of an old Soviet parade ground, peeling murals show an instruction mural for guarding prison camps seen in this army boot camp in the former East German peninsular called Halbinsel Wustrow near Rostock. For the benefit of recruits or as reminders of Soviet discipline, the picture shows a soldier standing at the barbed wire of a generic Gulag holding his AK-47 weapon and dressed in fur hat and uniform from that era. Perhaps those training here were eventually to guard political prisoners though it is a reminder of a fallen ideology. Wustrow was once a WW2 German anti-aircraft artillery position then housed civilian refugees before the eventual Soviet occupation of the former DDR during the Cold War, up until 1990 and the fall of communism and the Berlin Wall. The camp was ransacked and all its assets stripped before its desertion that summer.

  • A loyalist wall 300th anniversary mural in a protestant area of Belfast showing King William of Orange (the Dutch-born King Billy), the hero of protestant Northern Ireland whose victory at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 ensured a protestant northern Ireland. The Battle was fought between two rival claimants of the English, Scottish, and Irish thrones - the Catholic King James and the Protestant King William - across the River Boyne near Drogheda on the east coast of Ireland. The battle, won by William, was a turning point in James' unsuccessful attempt to regain the crown and ultimately helped ensure the continuation of Protestant ascendancy in Ireland.

  • At the base of the Monument which commemorates the Great Fire of London, a courier driver from the United States Postal Service (UPS), stands with his head in his hands as if in reaction to the conflagration behind. Above him is a giant mural, whose huge figures depict the panic and evacuation during the disaster that struck London between 2nd of  September and Wednesday, 5th September 1666. The modern man in company uniform is wearing the same brown colours as that of King Charles II and his courtier who are also reacting to the news of the city's burning timber buildings. 13,200 houses, 87 parish churches, St. Paul's Cathedral, and most of the buildings of the City authorities were lost in the high fanned winds. It is estimated that it destroyed the homes of 70,000 of the City's 80,000 inhabitants. The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.

  • An American expatriate living in Monaco laughs at a joke from an unseen person while standing near her apartment  in front of a beach mural on the Avenue Princess Grace. The cartoon character is a puny bather in an old fashioned bathing costume and flippers, showing off a scrawny arm and non-existant bicep. Seen from a low angle, the blonde-haired widow wears sunglasses, a black coat and speckled scarf around her neck, has been living in Monaco for many years and speaks fluent French. We see a smart lady in her middle-age enjoying her retirement in the warm Mediterranean climate.

  • With the words 'We will never accept a united Ireland' and another quote 'For God and Ulster' we see a detail of a political painting in a street off the Shankhill Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This Loyalist mural may have been drawn by a paramilitary artist, whose handiwork is the crest of the protestant Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) the organisations behind many a sectarian action against neighbouring catholic supporters of the Irish republican Army (IRA). In loyalist areas, the red, white and blue of the British Union Jack is painted on kerbs, houses and railings to signify peoples' allegiance to the crown, having historically followed the 17th century activities of King William of Orange against Catholics..
