  • Young travellers try out a Shetland pony at the ancient annual Priddy Sheep (and horse) fair in Somerset, England. Leading round the horse on a rope, the traveller boys parade around a field on the outskirts of the village. Set in the Mendip Hills, in the south-western English county of Somerset, the Priddy Sheep fair is host to an odd mix of farmers and travellers (commonly and incorrectly known as gypsies). In this field set aside purely for travellers, many with West Country accents but also with nearby Welsh and Irish too, deals are done with a traditional spit on the hand and a smacking of palms, selling a pony to another family. The Priddy Sheep Fair moved from the city of Wells in 1348 because of the Black Death.

  • Beneath Azulejo tiles, travellers and commuters walk through the concourse of Sao Bento railway station, on 20th July, in Porto, Portugal. The name of the station derives from a Benedictine monastery built on this spot in the 16th century. The monastery fell victim of a fire in 1783, was later rebuilt, but was in a grave state of disrepair at the end of the 19th century. The most notable aspect of Sao Bento Station is the tile panels in the vestibule. There are some 20 thousand and date from 1905–1916, the work of Jorge Colaço, the most important azulejo painter of the time. The first tiles were put up on 13 August 1905.

  • Mothers and sons hug emotionally in the international arrivals hall of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 airport. Three families have gathered to meet their respective sons who have been travelling around the world during their university gap year sabbatical trip of a lifetime.

This is a tradition practised across the world's airports where families are separated by the need to travel or work in other countries and the emotion of meeting again after long absences is always hard. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).
