  • A strange scene of a lady in mid-air as she leaps over a series of horse show-jumping poles - not leading a pony, but a Llama in Ashdown Forest Llama Park, East Sussex. The animal is part of a herd of llamas and alpacas and is lead over the jumps as a show for visiting families. The Ashdown Herd of llamas and alpacas was started in 1987. Over the years the numbers have increased and in 1995 what is now the Park was purchased, and opened to the public in 1996. The Ashdown Herd of llamas and alpacas was started in 1987. Over the years the numbers have increased and in 1995 what is now the Park was purchased, and opened to the public in 1996. There are now more than 100 south-American llamas and alpacas plus reindeer from Sweden at the Park.

  • Double rainbows arc over houses in Brixton. After a rain shower over this area of south London and with skies still dark from the passing squall, we look up at the sky and the arcing rainbow that curves over the rooftops of period homes. Sunlight shines on their walls and windows and the colours of the spectrum - natural phenomena - is a feature of meteorology seen as a sign of good fortune, the symbol for an omen for luck and an auspicious future.

  • One of the warning signs alerting motorists of tidal dangers on the causeway between the tidal Lindisfarne island and the Northumbrian mainland, on 27th September 2017, on Lindisfarne Island, Northumberland, England. Despite tide timetables posted all over the area, drivers often mis-time their crossings, their vehicles ending up submerged in salt water. The small Lindisfarne population of just over 160 is swelled by the influx of over 650,000 visitors from all over the world every year. A tidal Island: Lindisfarne is a tidal island in that access is by a paved causeway which is covered by the North Sea twice in every 24 hour period. The Holy Island of Lindisfarne, also known simply as Holy Island, is an island off the northeast coast of England. Holy Island has a recorded history from the 6th century AD; it was an important centre of Celtic and Anglo-saxon Christianity. After the Viking invasions and the Norman conquest of England, a priory was reestablished.

  • An unidentified youth is seen climbing over a high security fence into a derelict basketball court in the Notting Hill area of West London, England. Half-way over the wire netting, the young man has put his right leg over the top to haul himself over the high barrier. In the distance we see the graffiti left by other kids, sprayed on to the concrete walls of the former sports place. This is an inner-city environment where lawless youth crime is prevalent.

  • A young woman walks over London's Millennium Bridge while using her smartphone. Seen from over her left shoulder we look at her earrings that hang from her lobes and the traps of her shoulder bag. As she walks over the bridge her attention is the touch screen that shows her messages and she replies to the latest, looking down and thumbing the screen with pink painted nails.

  • A farm vehicle drives in winter light over the traditional stone bridge built from locally sourced materials over the Allt an Eas River at Eas Falls, near Kilbrennan, Isle of Mull, Scotland. Beneath the bridge is the fast-flowing river that curls downhill, falling steeply into the distant Loch Tuath with the Island of Ulva, the headland beyond. Eas Fors Waterfall is one of the most spectacular waterfalls on the island, situated just off the B8073, a couple of miles North of Ulva Ferry. Eas is Gaelic for waterfall, Fors is Norse for waterfall and the final fall plunges 100 feet over the edge of the cliff to the sea below.

  • With Tower Bridge in the far distance, and the nearer green Southwark Bridge, Londoners cross the Millennium Bridge over the river Thames, on 13th September 2021, in London, England. Londons newest river crossing for 100-plus years coincided with the Millennium in 2000. It was hurriedly finished and opened to the public on 10 June 2000 when an estimated 100,000 people crossed it to discover the structure oscillated so much that it was forced to close 2 days later. Over the next 18 months designers added dampeners to stop its wobble but it already symbolised what was embarrassing and failing in British pride. Now the British Standard code of bridge loading has been updated to cover the swaying phenomenon, referred to as Synchronous Lateral Excitation.

  • Peering comically over a hedgerow, a Guernsey cow looks on in a field on the small British-owned Channel Island. Renowned for the rich flavour of its milk, as well as its hardiness and docile disposition descended from two breeds brought over from nearby France (Isigny cattle from Normandy and the Froment du Léon from Brittany) the 450 to 500 kg Guernsey produces around 6,000 litres per cow per year. Its milk has a golden colour due to an exceptionally high content of beta carotene, a source of Vitamin A, which helps reduce the risks of certain cancers. The milk also has a high butterfat content of 5% and a high protein content of 3.7% making it deliciously creamy. The island of Guernsey is divided into ten parishes and along with its larger and more commercial Jersey, is situated in the warm English Channel, nearer to French than the English coast.

  • Two male pedestrians walk past a broken post that leans over after being pushed over by an unknown vehicle. Walking along the narrow pavement, one allows his older colleague to go ahead, so tight is the space. Heading out into sunlight, they carry on their journey on a warm lunchtime in the London borough of Southwark. The repairs appear to be imminent as the two cones, mark the place of damaged street items that protect the corner and building. Southwark is responsible for road works within its region of south London.

  • A City of London Griffin looks over Farringdon Road, London. With its red eye and tongue almost touching two pedestrians below, we see its silver-painted skin Positioned at the boundary of what is called the Square Mile, the griffins are symbols of this ancient area of central London, a semi-autominous geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City of London is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, its more 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, approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium.

  • A now disused stone bridge (only used by grazing cattle) and winter bracken over the Coladoir River on Glen More, Isle of Mull, Scotland. The wide landscape view shows us the bridge's strength largely given by the beautiful workmanship by those using local materials for this road overpass. Only farm vehicles and small cars generally drive over but such structures need to withstand harsh winters where weather can help them deteriorate. An arch is a structure that spans a space and supports a load. Arches appeared as early as the 2nd millennium BC in Mesopotamian brick architecture and their systematic use started with the Ancient Romans who were the first to apply the technique to a wide range of structures.

  • Tourists lunge over the original 4th century start/finish line in the stadium at Olympia. Hercules is said to have paced out the 600 Greek feet - or Stadion - from which we get the word 'stadium'. On the grassy bank in the background is where the seating once accommodated the many sporting pilgrims who travelled to this place from all over Greece during agreed truces in the weeks of the Olympic festival. The 29th Olympics came home to Greece in 2004 and the birthplace of athletics, amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past.

  • On a grey day in the metropolis of Hong Kong, a giant airliner belonging to an Asian airline passes overhead, seemingly just over the roofs of apartment buildings and offices. The aircraft is nearly at the point of touching down on the runway which is just beyond this street in Kowloon district in the days when Hong Kong was still a British colony and before its handover to Chinese law. The dominating shape of the jet is flying into the former airport called Kai Tak whose runway jutted out into the city’s harbour before the airfield was closed and a new location was opened in an outlying island. We look up to see a wide expanse of overcast sky with the red vertical Cantonese characters of a local business and which echoes the red beacon on the plane’s belly that flashes during the last moments of flight before the actual landing.

  • Construction sheeting hides work on riverside office properties while a City Cruise tour boat passes beneath the Millennium Bridge which crosses the Thames river, on 19th October 2021, in London, England. Londons newest river crossing for 100-plus years coincided with the Millennium in 2000. It was hurriedly finished and opened to the public on 10 June 2000 when an estimated 100,000 people crossed it to discover the structure oscillated so much that it was forced to close 2 days later. Over the next 18 months designers added dampeners to stop its wobble but it already symbolised what was embarrassing and failing in British pride. Now the British Standard code of bridge loading has been updated to cover the swaying phenomenon, referred to as Synchronous Lateral Excitation.
