  • A large man with a shaved head and hairy back is seen from behind as he watches a display by the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team at Weymouth, England. A heart shape which grows from his bald head has been drawn with red smoke in the sky two Hawk jet aircraft taking part in the town's annual air show along the sea front. Such a tough-looking male specimen contrasts with the romance of this valentine symbol helping to make this picture's quirky juxtaposition touching. The Red Arrows use smoke to emphasize their flight-path, help the spectators see their manoeuvres and to make more of an enjoying spectacle. In blue sky they use white smoke for The Heart and red when overcast. We watch the man from below and see him craning his neck skywards, the skin on his thick neck wrinkling as he looks heavy from this angle.

  • 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.

  • Seen from a high viewpoint, a young girl rides on her father's shoulders in the middle of the Longleat Hedge Maze. She can barely see over the walls of foliage, so tall is the labyrinth of twisty pathways, and she holds out her hands to brush against the green foliage. Made up of more than 16,000 English Yews, Longleat's spectacular hedge maze - the world's largest - was first laid out in 1975 by the designer Greg Bright. The Maze covers an area of around 1.48 acres (0.6 hectares) with a total pathway length of 1.69 miles (2.72 kilometres). Unlike most other conventional mazes it's actually three-dimensional.

  • Reaching out to a tower of scaffolding, high above the skyline of North London, a member of a company of abseiling construction scaffold workers make use of circus skills. Suspended with ropes, carabinas and a seat harness normally used by mountaineers, this man is wearing a safety helmet and blue overalls and his dirty gloved hand is about to make contact with yellow iron work as his colleague looks skyward, already tethered to the reinforced structure. A 60s tower block is immediately behind and suburban houses and streets are below. We see a man about to make contact with a place of safety, reaching out to his destination while spread across London's skies. Lit by flash, this picture is confusing because the viewer sees a false sense of size and scale between the iron work and the flats behind.

  • Spiritual revellers celebrate the summer Solstice (mid-summer and longest day) at the ancient stones of Stonehenge, on 21st June 2017, in Wiltshire, England. Fifteen thousand attended the 2017 Solstice at Stonehenge, according to English Heritage. Pagans say the ancient monument is a sacred place that links the Earth, Moon, Sun and the seasons. Built in three phases between 3,000 B.C. and 1,600 B.C. its purpose remains under study. However, it’s known that if you stand in just the right place inside the monument on summer solstice, through the entrance towards a rough hewn stone outside the circle you will see the sun rise above the Heel Stone.

  • With a large hand from her worried mother gently caressing her head, a tiny premature new-born born baby sleeps on its side with an oxygen tube in its nose, while gathering strength in her incubator at the Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, London, England. In her warm cot, a toy bear looks on in the corner and a poem writen on a card from the baby's parents has been attached to the plastic wall. It is a tender moment of hope, that this precious young human life can continue to grow into adulthood and be loved by all. The Royal London Hospital is one of London's oldest, having been founded in 1740 and is a major teaching hospital in Whitechapel, East London..

  • Relatives and friends remember the missing a week after the attacks on the twin towers on 9/11. During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, eccentric New Yorkers gather at the city's Armory to offer help and support by handing our fluffy bunnies to passers-by. The streets between 66th and 67th Streets, in the heart of Manhattan's Upper East Side, DNA samples were taken at the Armory so human remains might be identified. It was therefore a point of focus for those with missing relatives who attached thousands of posters to walls with pictures and messages to loved-ones in the hope of being reunited. Emotions were running high and many citizens offered spiritual aide such as food and drink. In outpourings of grief, anger and patriotic rhetoric, flags were flown as never before as  America sought to express their emotions and unity..
