A monochrome photograph showing two teenage boys walking along a pavement past a fenced-off piece of derelict land. Beyond the land is the gable end of a tenement, the lower part of which is covered in graffiti. On the other side of the street from these tenements is another row of tenements.

A blue-tinted monochrome photograph. Parts of the Scottish Parliament complex can be seen through panes of glass that form the top part of a wall. A long concrete structure intersects with the glass, casting diagonal shadows on the wall. The sky is cloudless.

A monochrome photograph showing two young men on a hill. They are in the distance and look very small against the clear sky. Beyond them, and to the left, is another, somewhat taller, hill.

A monochrome photograph showing a mannequin in a shop window. It is side-on to us and facing a part of the shop window that is beside a lane. Dressed in a man’s suit, the mannequin appears to be looking directly at its reflection.

A colour photograph. A middle-aged man sings and plays acoustic guitar on a pedestrian precinct. In the space in front of him, three women, apparently on a night out, sing and dance. One of them seems to be pretending that her mobile phone is a microphone.

A colour photograph showing a view down a path in a park. In the middle distance are three bollards, mostly black in colour. In the foreground is a bollard with an orange cone placed over it, hiding most of it. At the base of each bollard are grass, weeds and dead leaves.

Of decay
And swimming
In the overlaps
Of renewal.

A blue-tinted monochrome photograph. We are looking down at a stone base from which railings have been removed. The stone base extends diagonally through the image from the top right. Part of a dead branch lies on the stone. To the left of the stone, dead leaves lie on the ground.
