  • After harvesting, hemp (cannabis sativa) is left to dry in the sun for around 7 days before the bark is peeled off in long thin lengths, Ban Long Kuang, Houaphan province, Lao PDR. Making hemp fabric is a long and laborious process; the end result is a strong durable cloth with qualities similar to linen which the Hmong women use to make their traditional clothing. In Lao PDR, hemp is now only cultivated in remote mountainous areas of the north.

  • Grabbing a quiet few moments in an otherwise busy environment, two people lie in long grass near the tall Canary Wharf tower structure a mile away in the background at Dockland's area of East London. On the grassy bank at Mudchute, a city farm on London's Isle of Dogs, England, the two people have been joined on this war summer afternoon by a small goat who is making its way along, munching at the lush vegetation. It is a seemingly rural location but is, in fact, an area of inner-city London, close to major construction projects, transforming Docklands into a major centre for finance and new housing.

  • 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.

  • Looking eastwards through 100 year old ash trees, a local game of cricket is played on the green grass of Ruskin Park, Lambeth overlooking the city. As the bowler comes in to deliver a fast ball to the waiting batsman, we see acrossto period Edwardian homes on the 1908 Ruskin Park. Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. First played in southern England in the 16th century, one team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed.

  • This memorial has been placed where a man called 'Lee' died on the A3130 Tickenham Road, Somerset, England, UK. If we drove past this place where someone's life ended, the victim would just be an anonymous statistic but flowers are left to die too and touching poems and dedications are written by family and loved-ones. One reads: "“Do not stand at my grave and weep/I am not there, I do not sleep.” “I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in a circled flight.” From a project about makeshift shrines: “Britons have long installed memorials in the landscape: Statues and monuments to war heroes, Princesses and the socially privileged. But nowadays we lay wreaths to those who die suddenly - ordinary folk killed as pedestrians, as drivers or by alcohol, all celebrated on our roadsides and in cities with simple, haunting roadside remberences.

  • A lone walker passes by a partially-collapsed broken sign announcing the summit of Rannoch Moor, Scotland UK, 1,350 feet above sea level. He is hunched against a driving wind at this altitude and the country he is walking over is bleak and boggy, a wetland high up in the Scottish Highlands. Thick tufts of grass and moss lie about in this tough terrain, held in great affection for long-distance hikers.

  • Dressed in typical overalls for the area, traditional Alpine farmer Peter Eberle stands looking up at the viewer for a portrait in the courtyard of his dairy farm in Balzers, Liechtenstein. Mr Eberle wears a woolen hat and blue workman's overalls. He looks a proud but tired and weathered gentleman in his latter years and appears to be an experienced Alpine farmer and we can see a heap of manure over his shoulder and an old fashioned scythe for mowing long grass, leaning against a barn wall. Liechtenstein is a landlocked Principality bordered by the Alpine countries of Austria and Switzerland and is a winter sports resort, though best known as a tax haven, attracting companies worldwide to register their assets in complete secrecy. Its agricultural output is mainly wheat, barley, corn, potatoes, livestock and dairy products though technology companies have been eroding the traditional ways of life such as Peter's for decades.

  • A Buddhist man on silent retreat in a private cabin at the Rivendell Buddhist Retreat Centre, East Sussex, England. As the last light from a summer's day fades into night, the cabin (a converted garden shed), the practicing Buddhist stands against the internal lamp light, pausing to think and contemplate about his life and its meaning. Long grass from a private meadow is for the sole use of someone in retreat, a period of a few days or perhaps a week, separated from the pressures of modern life. Rivendell was once a Victorian country rectory for the local vicar in this East Sussex village, it now houses facilities for the spiritual and the peaceful, having escaped for a brief time, the pressures of modern life. Beyond are two Buddhas on a tapestry and as a statue. The community web address is www.rivendellretreatcentre.com.

  • A family relax in late-afternoon sunshine and wood smoke in a quiet field at Woodland Tipi and Yurt Holidays near Little Dewchurch, Herefordshire. We see the sun shining through pine trees and long shadows stretching through the fresh grass where camping seats and a camp-fire is billowing clouds of smoke, just like in the days of cowboys and indians. The holidaymakers are staying in 17 acres of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, experiencing the peace and tranquillity of tipi and yurt camping in their own private, secluded valley - an ever-increasingly popular holiday adventure that is both green and carbon neutral since they are not using electricity for heating or cars to travel. It is also a stress-free lifestyle, away from the pressures of work and urban life, where travellers can unwind safe in the knowledge they are helping the environment.

They are dressed in either plain or garish colours and with their long bare legs women sit at the rear of a Range Rover car.

  • In a far corner of a caravan site is a dog exercise area, strictly for where pets can be walked on their leads, sniff and meet other animals and allowed to foul the grass as long as owners clear up their mess and deposit it in the dustbin provided on the path. A sign saying Dog Walk has been staked into the ground and clearly indicates the grassy location, avoiding confusion and argument. The countryside is green at this location in Looe in Devon, England, run by the prestigious Caravan Club of Great Britain whose membership stands around 1 million members. People are allowed to bring pets to only certain sites where areas like this are provided and families prefer to bring their dogs on holiday with them rather than pay for kennels.

  • Usually played in pairs for morning and evenings calls to prayer, preludes, and processions, two western nuns following Tibetan-Buddhism play their Rag-Dung (brass trumpets) in a garden at the Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery and Tibetan Centre in Eskdalemuir, Scotland. One nun looks across to check finger positions of her fellow-player and they are sat cross-legged on the lush grass surrounded with flowers and tall plants. The Rag-Dung is the most spectacular of Tibetan ritual copper horns and some are up to twenty feet long. With a deeply resonant sound it is relatively easy to play. Those following this branch of Buddhism arrive in the Scottish wilderness for isolated Retreat periods, for short-term spiritual relaxation or to follow Tibetan teaching methods for discovering inner-peace, through prayer and meditation.

Wearing winter green flying suits and carrying their helmets, their day is spent flying and de-briefing up to six times a day when weather permits. Long shadows spill over on to the airfield's cropped grass.
