"By the time the sun started to rise above the stones, hundreds, if not thousands of people, had gathered inside the stone circle, phones and cameras up in the air ready to record the magical moment," says Marimon Munoz. "In the picture, I wanted to capture the mixture of ancient history and modern technology, fused together - past and present."
"After spotting it whilst driving along the Golden Road on the east coast of Harris, I jumped out of the car on the single-track road to catch the backlit scene before the sun disappeared behind the clouds again."

"George, 84, has lived in this flat for 42 years. He shared it with his sister Doris until she was moved into a care home. George has also moved into new accommodation as a result of a regeneration programme.
"This image was part of an installation challenging common prejudices about people living on council estates, as well as exploring the sense of loss and gain that irreversible change brings with it," says Janke.

"The protest was aimed at British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher for her refusal to impose harsh enough economic measures against South Africa to force President Botha's government to end apartheid," says Wiedel. "Banners demanded the release of Nelson Mandela serving a life sentence for a 1964 conviction for plotting sabotage."
