  • Grim Reaper, Donga theatre play in the Cutting. Road Protest actions at Twyford Down, near the Donga pathways, outside Winchester, against the M3 road extension. 1993<br />
<br />
The British Road Protesters movement began in the early 1990s when the Donga tribe squatted Twyford Down to save this beautiful site, a site of scientific interest SSI from the Ministry of transport's road building programme which threatened to destroy the landscape. The Dongas was the name of the ancient walkways, the paths trodden in the middle ages by people walking down to Winchester. A small tribe were joined by people of all walks of life who came to Twyford Down to defend it. A long hard battle over several years ended in the 'cutting' a new motorway built through this ancient monument and destroying it. <br />
<br />
The Road Protest movement in Britain continued for many years and more battles were fought in London against the MII both at Wanstead then in Leytonstone, and subsequently at Newbury, and in Sussex. the protesters were very inventive in their use of non violent peaceful direct action. They barricaded themselves into squats, made tree houses, tunnels and have huge demonstrations against the bailliffs, police and security who tried to force their way through the defences of this alternative environmental popular movement. Many of the roads were built eventually and many sites of great beauty lost, but the government had to stand down from its road building policy and eventually the programme was halted. the protests cost the government billions. Out of that movement grew many environmental NGOs who have to this day kept fighting for ecological and sustainable environmental solutions rather than following the cult of the car, petrol and roadbuilding..

  • Rains stops play. Bullfight called off because of the rain. Visitors dressed in flamenco dress covered in plastic raincoats in these rare heavy springtime downpours. Bullfighting in Sevilla's famous bullring "La Real Maestranza" is a significant part of the Feria de Abril..The Feria de abril de Sevilla, "Seville April Fair" dates back to 1847. During the 1920s, the feria reached its peak and became the spectacle that it is today. It is held in the Andalusian capital of Seville in Spain. The fair generally begins two weeks after the Semana Santa, Easter Holy Week. The fair officially begins at midnight on Monday, and runs six days, ending on the following Sunday. Each day the fiesta begins with the parade of carriages and riders, at midday, carrying Seville's citizens to the bullring, La Real Maestranza...For the duration of the fair, the fairgrounds and a vast area on the far bank of the Guadalquivir River are covered in rows of casetas (individual decorated marquee tents which are temporarily built on the fairground). Some of these casetas belong to the prominent families of Seville, some to groups of friends, clubs, trade associations or political parties. From around nine at night until six or seven the following morning, at first in the streets and later only within each caseta, crowds of people party and dance Sevillanas, traditional Flamenco dances, Sevillan style drinking Jerez sherry, or Manzanilla wine, and eating tapas. ..

  • FISHERMEN MEKONG RIVER. South East Asia, Cambodia, Phnom Penh, Mekong River. The Cham fisher people live in various desolated villages along the banks of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers. The fisher families live like river gypsy nomads, working and living on their boats, sleeping under a sprung bamboo frame, all their worldly goods stored below deck. They live in extended families, with numerous boats, together for safety. Their diet is rice, vegetables and fish. Their sleek wooden boats are powered by petrol outboard motors with batteries or generators to supply lighting at night. Their fishing technique is laying nets twice or three times per day, which are weighted well below the surface, using old paint aerosal canisters as buoyant floaters, hanging just beneath the surface. These particular fisher families, living at the junction of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers, overlooked by Phnom Penh, sell their catch at the Vietnamese market, on the banks of the river. Their life and fortunes are controlled by the cycle of the river. As the river levels drop, so the quantity of fish decreases, until after the heavy floods of the monsoon they fill the river again. They are poor traditional Muslims, marginalised from mainstream society, living a third world life in the immmediate shadow of the first world. The Cham, originally a people of an ancient kingdom called Champa, are a small and disenfranchised community who were disinherited of their land. They are a socially important ethnic group in Cambodia, numbering close to 300,000. The Cham people, live in some 400 villages across Kampong Chnang and Kampong Cham provinces. Their religion is Muslim and their language belongs to the Malayo-Polynesian family. Their livelihoods are as diverse as rice farming, cattle trading, hunting and fishing.///Cham fisherman.

  • Youths playing in the streets at night. Kirkcaldy is one of the poorest areas in Scotland with staggeringly high numbers of child poverty. Many disadvantaged families, and vulnerable people, and over a thousand children are surviving below the breadline in Kirkaldy East, that is 40%. Voluntary organisations and foodbanks give over a thousand food parcels a month, several times more than a few years ago. The Conservative government’s policy of austerity together with the new ‘Universal Credit’ system which replaced six other benefits, makes millions of people poorer, many hundreds of thousands on the poverty line or below. Whilst people overall voted strongly against Brexit in Scotland, in other parts of the country, poorer constituencies voted largely for Brexit, in a vote against the City of London.

  • Sarak plays with the billygoat, sometimes head-butting or joking with him. They love each other really..Sarak is a young Khmer boy who comes from a peasant family, living in a small village in Battambang Province, in northwest Cambodia. He lives with his mother and father, brothers, sister, cousins and his aunts and uncles. they are a big family. Sarak loves to learn how to be an acrobat in the local circus school, and spends as much time as he can doing headstands and somersaults with his friends. To be honest, he is a bit of a scoundrel, and enjoys head butting the billy goat, but he makes up by feeding all the animals in his parents little farm. His mother works at the fishmarket in Battambang town, whilst his father sells icecreams. They don't have very much money, not even electricity, so he and his brothers and sisters do their homework under candlelight. He likes to take trips, with his mother and cousins, on his uncle's scooter.

  • Sarak plays with the billygoat, sometimes head-butting or joking with him. They love each other really..Sarak is a young Khmer boy who comes from a peasant family, living in a small village in Battambang Province, in northwest Cambodia. He lives with his mother and father, brothers, sister, cousins and his aunts and uncles. they are a big family. Sarak loves to learn how to be an acrobat in the local circus school, and spends as much time as he can doing headstands and somersaults with his friends. To be honest, he is a bit of a scoundrel, and enjoys head butting the billy goat, but he makes up by feeding all the animals in his parents little farm. His mother works at the fishmarket in Battambang town, whilst his father sells icecreams. They don't have very much money, not even electricity, so he and his brothers and sisters do their homework under candlelight. He likes to take trips, with his mother and cousins, on his uncle's scooter.

  • FISHERMEN MEKONG RIVER. South East Asia, Cambodia, Phnom Penh, Mekong River. The Cham fisher people live in various desolated villages along the banks of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers. The fisher families live like river gypsy nomads, working and living on their boats, sleeping under a sprung bamboo frame, all their worldly goods stored below deck. They live in extended families, with numerous boats, together for safety. Their diet is rice, vegetables and fish. Their sleek wooden boats are powered by petrol outboard motors with batteries or generators to supply lighting at night. Their fishing technique is laying nets twice or three times per day, which are weighted well below the surface, using old paint aerosal canisters as buoyant floaters, hanging just beneath the surface. These particular fisher families, living at the junction of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers, overlooked by Phnom Penh, sell their catch at the Vietnamese market, on the banks of the river. Their life and fortunes are controlled by the cycle of the river. As the river levels drop, so the quantity of fish decreases, until after the heavy floods of the monsoon they fill the river again. They are poor traditional Muslims, marginalised from mainstream society, living a third world life in the immmediate shadow of the first world. The Cham, originally a people of an ancient kingdom called Champa, are a small and disenfranchised community who were disinherited of their land. They are a socially important ethnic group in Cambodia, numbering close to 300,000. The Cham people, live in some 400 villages across Kampong Chnang and Kampong Cham provinces. Their religion is Muslim and their language belongs to the Malayo-Polynesian family. Their livelihoods are as diverse as rice farming, cattle trading, hunting and fishing.///Ty Cho with her daughters Apini and Asimas, happy, on their fishing boat, coming back from Phnom Penh market, having sold a good catch of fish

<br />
The British Road Protesters movement began in the early 1990s when the Donga tribe squatted Twyford Down to save this beautiful site, a site of scientific interest SSI from the Ministry of transport's road building programme which threatened to destroy the landscape. The Dongas was the name of the ancient walkways, the paths trodden in the middle ages by people walking down to Winchester. A small tribe were joined by people of all walks of life who came to Twyford Down to defend it. A long hard battle over several years ended in the 'cutting' a new motorway built through this ancient monument and destroying it. <br />
<br />
The Road Protest movement in Britain continued for many years and more battles were fought in London against the MII both at Wanstead then in Leytonstone, and subsequently at Newbury, and in Sussex. the protesters were very inventive in their use of non violent peaceful direct action. They barricaded themselves into squats, made tree houses, tunnels and have huge demonstrations against the bailliffs, police and security who tried to force their way through the defences of this alternative environmental popular movement. Many of the roads were built eventually and many sites of great beauty lost, but the government had to stand down from its road building policy and eventually the programme was halted. the protests cost the government billions. Out of that movement grew many environmental NGOs who have to this day kept fighting for ecological and sustainable environmental solutions rather than following the cult of the car, petrol and roadbuilding..

  • ROYAL CAMBODIAN RAILWAYS. The journey from Phnom Penh to Battambang is the last working route. A passenger train, operates only at weekends. A Czech made diesel locomotive, leaves the capital Saturday morning, arriving in Battambang 22 hours later in the dead of night, and returns on Sunday. Max speed is about 30kmh, often slower due to the track's terrible condition. Carriages are dilapidated, with holes in the floor and only spaces for windows. Passengers sit or sleep on hardwood bench seats, hammocks, or on the floor of cargo carriages. The drivers, controllers & guards add to their small monthly pay by charging for local passengers and cargo; from motor bikes and local produce to timber loaded aboard at the 30 stations along the route. This together with other trains and farm vehicles further slows the journey. In rural areas, the track is a lifeline, and used for local transport on 'bamboo trains' powered by belt-motors, or pushcarts. Boom towns, with a 'goldrush mentality' near the rapidly depleted rainforest, are a hive of activity, with logging as their resource, where children workers even gamble away their earnings on cardgames. In the city, the railway has a life of its own, where people live and work nearby or on the track itself. Market stalls, restaurants, chairs and tables, are removed only briefly, when the infrequent train passes!///Near the train tracks in Phnom Penh. Children plau football

  • Two women having fun with a water pistol full of alcohol. Fun, dancing, music, socializing, inebriation, slightly or very drunk long nights are al part of the Feria d'Abril..The Feria de abril de Sevilla, "Seville April Fair" dates back to 1847. During the 1920s, the feria reached its peak and became the spectacle that it is today. It is held in the Andalusian capital of Seville in Spain. The fair generally begins two weeks after the Semana Santa, Easter Holy Week. The fair officially begins at midnight on Monday, and runs six days, ending on the following Sunday. Each day the fiesta begins with the parade of carriages and riders, at midday, carrying Seville's citizens to the bullring, La Real Maestranza...For the duration of the fair, the fairgrounds and a vast area on the far bank of the Guadalquivir River are covered in rows of casetas (individual decorated marquee tents which are temporarily built on the fairground). Some of these casetas belong to the prominent families of Seville, some to groups of friends, clubs, trade associations or political parties. From around nine at night until six or seven the following morning, at first in the streets and later only within each caseta, crowds of people party and dance Sevillanas, traditional Flamenco dances, Sevillan style drinking Jerez sherry, or Manzanilla wine, and eating tapas. Men and women dress up in their finery, the traditional "traje corto" (short jacket, tight trousers and boots) for men and the "faralaes" or "trajes de flamenca" (flamenco style dress) for women. The men traditionally wear hats called "cordobés".
