state for steel supplies to the rapidly expanding economies of the East

This is a shot of the Cotham power station as part of a series on biofuels. John Strawson grows short rotation

Nottinghamshire and other areas and an increasing number of new and old buildings, particularly in the public

sector, are being warmed with wood. An interesting development.

Premier mushrooms are the UK

life.   The process of growing, in controlled conditions, requires the most remarkable attention to detail, far more

than I could possibly have imagined.

This man lets off the rockets at the San Marco fiesta. Cigarette in mouth, a pretty significant amount of  armoury

on his shoulder, just nicely surrounded by helpless children. I love the Spanish approach to Health and Safety!

Hiking the mountains of the Sierra Nevada for a series on  walking and working in the Alpujarras, we had a great

trek up from Berchules to the Junta de las Rios, even though the track as laid out by the local people inexplicably

stops just by a farm. So we carried on up wards and made a beautiful traverse of the eastern hills by taking the

acequia from the Junta de los Rios (lovely waterfall and clean snow melt water) back to El Gordo and down to

Berchules. Great hotel there, Hotel los Berchules where Wendy, Alejandro and Andrew will make your walking

and stay extremely enjoyable.

Travelling again, this time across Spain . From Tarifa to shoot the vast number of wind turbines growing there by

the Atlantic Ocean, then to Cazorla national park, the Sierra Nevada, Almeria Province and back to the Cabo de

Gata  Almeria seems to be a growing  area, vast plastic greenhouses fill the landscape and suck up the

diminishing supplies of ground and mountain water to feed the northern countries with greens and tomatoes in the

winter.. Some people even want to live there!. The British diseases of drunken and abusive children  in the

schools and on the streets is spreading down to Spain, and you wonder if the food and a changing culture of long

work hours for both parents is affecting them badly.  The shot above is of Zahara de los Atunes below Cadiz, wind

turbines behind - the sand drifts and has to be restored - it

Windturbine, save the world from rapacious gas guzzling power stations, planes, central heating, airconditioning,

Americans, Chinese. Actually, I think they are wonderful but there is so much money tied up in the alternative

energy markets that I sometimes wonder if we are being conned.

Anyway, buy it here.

Huletts Aluminium, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa

Apart from the pleasure of waking to the sound of the Indian Ocean crashing on the shore below my bedroom, we

had a great reception at Huletts. Gerbrand, Gus and Eric gave us really excellent interviews for our clients

products and took time to get us in place for each process in between interviews. This is a view showing part of

the plant, Richard is lurking down there on the right shooting TF bags.

Glorious stuff, garlic. Fresh, organic - just lifted from an autumn sowing, what could be better?

Diazepam - image designed to show nerves and the drug in context. Not real nerves, of course, but my

interpretation! Shot for the Science Photo Library.

An abstract image of fibre optics for the Science Photo Library.  They are so ephemeral that a straight shot can

do justice to them. I love the way light folds through and round.

Capileira, high in the Sierra Nevada. The mist rolling in from the Mediterranean is a common sight here, often

blanketing the Poqueira valley for a week or more. Mulhacen, Spain
