  • Families examine a map of the Hong Kong region, with outlying islands and Mainland Chinese territories. An older family member (probably the grandfather) points to his grandchildren various locations including Kowloon where they may live within the territorial limits of the ex-British colony. This scene is still 2 years before the British Handover to China and each place is written in English first then Chinese characters beneath, a sign that Britain still ruled administratively. The granddad’s memories of British rule before the Handover will remind those of the 99-year lease that China offered the British and which ended in July 1997.

  • Tourists finding their way around London's Soho and the West End seek help with a large city map. A middle-aged tourist couple have stopped during their exhausting tour of London on foot, pausing to consult the large-scale plan of the capital's streets where landmarks, shops and the river Thames in context are shown as places of interest. Standing near the image of the map, there is also a circle denoting the radius of a 5-minute walk from this location in Leicester Square. The round line appears to encircle their upper bodies in a humorous scene of tourism and discovery, of adventures in the metropolis and of the facilities that Westminster council provide for their visitors.

  • Seen through a fisheye lens, we see an aerial view of the city of Florence (Firenze) as a lady tourist surveys the urban landscape using a tourist map. She has climbed the 84.7 meters (277.9 ft) high Gioto's Belltower (or campanile) of Duomo Cathedral. Due to the nature of the extreme-wide lens, the curvature of the horizon makes a global sort of perspective. Far below are the tiled rooftops of this Italian city's housing and properties and further into the distance are the green fields of Tuscany. On the marble ledge that is unguarded against accidental or intentional leaps, there is the graffiti of world tourism. The languages of world youth are written on this Renaissance building.

  • The upright remains of a Pennygowan Cemetery (Caol Fhaoileann), Salen Isle of Mull, Scotland. Within the chapel, erected on a modern base, is the lower part of a cross-shaft 1.33m high above ground. On the front there has been a Crucifix; below this a large plant scroll terminates in a griffin. At the foot is a galley with sail set. This cross dates to between 1500 and 1560 and the ruined chapel is probably of early 13th century date. No medieval references to it have been identified, and its dedication is unknown though it is referred to both as a 'Chappell' and as a 'paroach'. The building may already have been derelict at this period, although the earliest evidence of its condition dates from 1787 when it was shown as 'an old kirk' on a map of Torosay parish.
