A city like this doesn't get built alone. It takes the effort and sweat of lots of men. Today, here's my tribute to them.

You see them almost immediately as you emerge from the Dalian Road Metro station along Changyang Road, a jarring picture against the late afternoon sun.
Two men were perched precariously on top of a roof ledge, swinging their thin hammers to break up, brick by brick, yet another old house. Hongkou is a very old district in Shanghai and is largely known as the former Jewish Quarters as a result of a flood of Jewish refugees into Shanghai during World War II.
What was immediately disconcerting was the way the demolition was taking place. It was incredibly manual and alarmingly dangerous. Most building construction (ground up) have basic scaffolding and even if they seldom meet onerous Western standards in the same industry, attempts are made to provide basic safety beyond a rickety plastic helmet.
Demolition is altogether a different matter. They are often outsourced with little proper supervision or regard for basic safety since the objective is to just flatten everything and have the debris carted away. An engineer would have surveyed the land to identify public water or sewage pipelines to avoid but otherwise, the task is left to workers with instructions to hack from morning to night.

Hot day, hot work.
This construction worker, identified by his red shirt, was the man who, seemingly, was in charge of directing the crane operator to move the bucket where it was needed and physically pulling the lever on the bucket to dump the load of concrete.
Across the street, I saw these three construction workers taking a break on benches (or whatever they are) in front of this very cool background and waved my camera at them to let them know I wanted to take their photo.
Construction work at Menin, Belgium, during World War I. In the distance the stripped landscape is visible. A large crater dominates the front of the photograph, filled with wet, churned mud. Teams of men work in a line in the centre carrying supplies with which to lay new road.
