  • Looking up from the ground to the underside of a jet airliner passing overhead in bright skies, blurred purposely using a slow camera speed, creating a separate, staggered double-image. Viewed through the foliage and flowers of a garden shrub, the plane descends in slightly hazy skies above south London, where aircraft pass overhead a few thousand feet above suburban homes, the plane is seen as a diagonal, edging across the airspace on its way to the runways at Heathrow airport, approximately 20 miles to the West. The jet is generic, minus airline markings though we see it is a twin-engined model, its two powerplants mounted beneath its wings.

  • A passing jet airliner flies overhead, above the cross of a family mausoleum, on 14th July 2016, at Prazeres Cemetery, Lisbon, Portugal. Prazeres Cemetery Cemitério dos Prazeres is the largest cemetery in Lisbon, Portugal, located in the west part of the city in the former Prazeres parish. It was created in 1833 after the outbreak of a cholera epidemic. Many famous Portuguese citizens are buried here, including artists, authors and government figures, and the cemetery features many large mausoleums built in the 19th century.

  • The outline of a generic airliner passes overhead as it takes-off at London Heathrow airport. With the strong shape of its aerodynamic surfaces, its wings and lowered flaps to gain maximum lift at this sea level atmosphere. The jet's undercarriage wheels are still lowered and the circular jet engines are clearly defined by strong sunlight. The airline operator is anonymous as is the manufacturer of the aircraft as it contunues its journey under blue skies to a faraway destination.

  • Overhead flyovers cross in this mega-junction of the Yan’an Road Central Elevated Expressway, and the Chongqing North/South Elevated Expressway in Shanghai, China. These huge motorway systems cut across and up through Shanghai creating fast routes for vehicles. The vast amounts of housing that was removed to make space for the Yan’an Expressway alone, displaced some 200,000 people, who will have been re-housed in high-rise apartment blocks in the suburbs. Their old homes would have been dwarfed by this monstrous construction of roads. Lit up at night this is a classic view of Shanghai’s futuristic approach to it’s massive and swift development.

  • Having just disembarked from a Carnival Cruise ship at the port of Miami, Florida, two tourists carry and pull their baggage along to a waiting coaches that will transport them for onward journeys. Comically they also wear wide sombrero hats bought in Cancun during their vacation around the Gulf of Mexico, the destination of this popular cruise line whose base is Miami. Stitched with garish colours the souvenirs provide shelter from the overhead tropical sun though the woman of this couple chooses to hang hers over a shoulder and keeps her original hat on her head. This may be the couples' honeymoon or just a special annual holiday away from the kids or a humdrum lifestyle where the weather is far from the intensity of Florida, a favourite resort for Americans not liking foreign travel.

  • Ducking under the falling spray from a giant wave, a passer-by experience the force of nature from a storm off the coasts of southern England - here at the Port of Dover, Kent. As the water hits the sea defence wall, the seaside town is battered by southerly winds that bring with them huge breakers across the promenade. Adventurous and foolhardy people brave these conditions and stay for as long as possible at the railings then jump out at the last moment before getting doused in salt spray. This man carries on walking and thinks that by bending down, the sea will pass overhead.

  • High up in the picture, two employees (one in traditional Arab clothes, the other in western dress) of Bahrain International Airport stand on the edge of a passenger 'air bridge' to oversee the departure of an airliner at Bahrain International Airport as it is pushed back by an unseen airport vehicle. It is night time and the ramp (or aircraft parking tarmac) is illuminated by yellow artificial light with the bridge itself, lit my overhead fluorescent tubes that give a blue-green tint above the mens' heads who watch the nose of a departing airliner. It is slowly taken backwards on its way to the runway take-off  position with its passengers on-board. We see only the fuselage, wings and part of its engine cowlings but not the undercarriage wheels, nor the ground itself. The men look as if they are floating in mid-air, being disembodied from the rest of the airfield's equipment.

  • French spectators enjoy the spirit of the Olympics and international competition in the Olympic Park during the London 2012 Olympics. The sports fans support the weight of their friend and pass him overhead. This land was transformed to become a 2.5 Sq Km sporting complex, once industrial businesses and now the venue of eight venues including the main arena, Aquatics Centre and Velodrome plus the athletes' Olympic Village. After the Olympics, the park is to be known as Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

  • An aerial view of a completely uninhabited, deserted island seen from a regional aircraft passing overhead atolls and islands, an hour's flying time north of Malé, capital of the Indian Ocean Republic of the Maldives. We see the perfectly clear blue sea surrounding a tiny flat island of white coral beach sand, ringing tropical vegetation and scrub that is in jeopardy to rising sea levels as global warming makes sea level locations like this vulnerable to flooding. The Maldives comprise of twenty-six atolls, featuring 1,192 coral islands of which 80 are holiday resorts with 200 inhabited by indigenous communities. This Islamic nation of 298 sq km (115 sq miles), lie seven hundred kilometres (435 miles) south-west of Sri Lanka.

  • A tourist is surrounded by a flock of greedy gulls hovering above on London's Southbank, opposite the Westminster parliament. Smiling to another person who is taking her photo, the young woman smiles as the birds' wings beat overhead, flocking around her as swarm excitedly in the air above. In the background is the expanse of Westminster Bridge with the Houses of Parliament and the tall clock tower containing the Big Ben bell.

  • 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.

  • With bright landing lights on, blurred jet airliner lands at London Heathrow airport. As the plane passes overhead, we see its blurred shape against a darkening sky at dusk - a busy time in the airport's day. London Heathrow is a major international airport, the busiest airport in the United Kingdom and the busiest airport in Europe by passenger traffic. It is also the third busiest airport in the world by total passenger traffic, handling more international passengers than any other airport around the globe. From the chapter entitled 'Up in the Air' and from the book 'Risk Wise: Nine Everyday Adventures' by Polly Morland (Allianz, The School of Life, Profile Books, 2015).

  • A Concorde supersonic airliner registration G-BOAB flies overhead during its service for British Airways - en-route for a foreign destination. The delta-winged jet was first flown in 1969, entering commercial service in 1976 for 27 years until the disastrous in Paris ended its viability. Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde was a turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner or supersonic transport (SST). With a program cost of £1.3 billion and a unit cost of £23 million in 1977.

  • At the famous Butlins holiday camp in the Somerset town of Minehead, a poolside lifeguard overlooks the main  pool from an overhead bridge. Behind him a monorail transports holidaymakers around the resort. Wearing the large letter B for Butlins on his red vest, the young lad sucks on his whistle held between his lips and prominently, the words 'Made in England' have been tattooed on his left shoulder - as if a statement for his patriotic ideals but also for those of Butlins - an institution for the British working classes who after the war had the opportunity to spend their summers at special resorts in seaside towns that provided entertainment and fun. Butlins and other camp businesses went into decline when the masses preferred Spanish vacations but have since been revived as travel costs have again soared and holidays at home are once again popular.

  • A father supports his son on his shoulders as a giant four-engined airliner passes directly overhead, about to land at London's Heathrow airport, England. Seen from a low angle, we see the graphic cruciform shape of the aircraft as it screams past two powerful airfield landing lights that help guide arriving aircraft to the runway. The backlit scene is largely monochrome apart from the boys red t-shirt and yellow-faced watch which are lit by flash, underexposing the overcast sky. Prior to 9/11, British airport authorities and police tolerated plane spotters near runway fences but with heightened terrorist alerts, these enthusiasts are told to move on or face arrest. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • Hawk jets of the Red Arrows, Britain's RAF aerobatic team display over beach using quad bikes as display datum (centre). Passing overhead, there are two beach guards sitting just 100 feet below the passing jets who perform in front of an unseen crowd behind the sands. The team are using this coastal reference point as display datum (centre) during their display, a show-stopping manoeuvre of their 25-minute air show display routine. 'Datum' is an axis on which the Red Arrows focus their displays, from where the whole show is visible at the crowd's centre. The bikes are but one of a series of datum points selected by the team leader as a geographical point from which to navigate. Since 1965 the squadron has flown over 4,000 shows in 52 countries an important part of Britain's summer events where they perform their manoeuvres in front of massed crowds.

  • Half-way across the Gulf of Mexico, between Miami and Cancun in Mexico, Carnival Cruise's Fun Ship Ecstasy's passengers are on the Sun deck to enjoy the first few days sailing on the tropical seas. One of the ship's photographers has passed around a ship's circular life ring buoy through which one busty blonde lady has posed for a photograph and is about to pass it on to her nearest neighbour. She is wearing a garish pink and yellow bikini and is holding the life-saving device so that only her breasts are showing, obscuring her face. We see the name of the ship, Ecstasy, around the ring and the plastic ropes are falling on the lady's cleavage, forming circles around her bosoms. In the background, another cruise traveller (traveler) wears a straw sun hat and is also sitting on a blue sun lounger. We see exposed, tanned skin and it looks baking hot with the tropical sun at its zenith, directly overhead at mid-day. Carnival was a pioneer in the concept of cheaper and shorter cruises. Its ships are known for their Las Vegas decor and entertainment. The line calls its ships The Fun Ships. The MS Ecstasy is a Fantasy class cruise ship featuring two pools, whirlpools, a variety of dining options, nightclubs, a casino, and duty-free shopping. After Hurricane Katrina, she spent six months in New Orleans serving as quarters for refugees and relief workers. She suffered heavy damage in 1998 after the laundry room in the ship's stern caught fire damaging much of her stern and aft section.

  • 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.

Discarded fats from restaurants congeal in sewer networks leading to blocked pipework. Sewer men are shovel the deposits and bring them in vats to the surface. In the early 19th century the River Thames was practically an open sewer, with disastrous consequences for public health in London, including numerous cholera epidemics with the The Great Stink of 1858 a turning point. Intercepting sewers constructed between 1859 and 1865 were fed by 450 miles (720 km) of main sewers that in turn conveyed the contents of some 13,000 miles (21,000 km) of smaller local sewers using 318m bricks, 880,000 cubic yards of concrete and mortar and excavation of over 3.5m tonnes of earth.

  • As blue light fades on a bitterly cold winter's evening, the barrier of an Austrian level-crossing has been lowered to stop traffic and allow a high-speed ICE-T train to continue on its route through, near Salzburg, Austria, Europe. OBB, the Austrian Federal Railways operate a network of 5,683 km makes them the by far largest railway-company in this country. Heavy snow has fallen in this region of the Alps and deposits have settled on the fences and the glowing red stop traffic light, signalling for motorists to halt at this dangerous road-crossing location. So fast is this mode of transport, it blurs past this cold, desolate spot where only one nearby house is next to the trackside. (From a story about travelling through 6 European countries by coach in 7 days).

  • An aerial landscape view of a railway network whose tracks and rails converge on a station in central London. Three trains filled with commuters all make their way into this unseen railway hub. The route curls away into the distance, slicing its way through the capital. London Rail is a directorate of Transport for London (TFL), involved in the relationship with the National Rail network within London, UK. It manages non-tube rail systems in London. Railways started to change the landscape of London itself, followed by its suburbs in the mid to late 19th century when streets and neighbourhoods were cut in half by the new infrastructure.

  • Beneath sunlight that filters down through a glass roof, two employees walk through the bright atrium at the British Airways' corporate headquarters at Waterside at Harmondsworth near Heathrow Airport. Passing-by the full-size undercarriage of a Boeing 747, the workers make their way through the bright and clean atmosphere of this airline's nerve-centre, an operational and planning complex designed by architect, Niels Torp, a champion of humanist modern design. It comprises 6 roughly U-shaped buildings with courtyards and lakes stretching out into the landscape. The central spine is the street, complete with village style shops and restaurants.

  • A female office worker pauses to make a call on her mobile phone, on a wide walkway in Ernst & Young's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot European headquarter at More London, London England. All other walkways above and below are empty and holding her head, the lady has sought privacy from her open-plan workstation and stands on her own. Architecturally, the term atrium comes from Latin: A large and light central hall or reception of a house where guests were greeted. The depth and height of all levels from near the top to almost the bottom give a sense of vertigo, a dizzying perspective. E & Y employs 114,000 people, in 700 locations across 140 countries around the world.
