Sunda Kelapa - a harbour in North Jakarta which was once the hub of colonial trade in the Dutch East Indies, now a planned site for lucrative building developments, malls and apartments.
On the outskirts of all this progress lives a local community of fishermen's families, perched on levees of driftwood to hold back the rising sea.
Kids here make their way to school past diggers and scaffolding as their homes crumble quietly into canals, waiting for the bulldozers to arrive.
A snapshot of progress in modern Jakarta.
River Severn tug "Severn Progress" at Gloucester on 8th April 2012.
The tug (originally named "Progress") was built in 1931 by Charles Hill & Sons of Bristol, the prefix Severn being added later to conform to the general naming policy adopted by her owners, the Severn & Canal Carrying Company. "Severn Progress" originally had a 100 bhp Kromhout semi-diesel engine which required heating with a blow-lamp to get it hot before starting. In later years this was replaced by a Lister air-cooled diesel that starts with the push of a button. Also in the early days, the steering position was an open well, and it was many years later before a proper wheel-house was fitted.
Severn Progress was mainly used for towing barges and canal boats on the River Severn between Gloucester and Worcester with some trips extending to Stourport. A typical trip was to leave Gloucester early one morning, towing whatever loaded barges and canal boats needed to go up river, stay overnight at Worcester and then return with empty boats the following day. When it was necessary to go all the way up to Stourport, it was still expected that the tug would return on the second day. The usual cargoes for the barges were grain, timber and petroleum, and the canal boats carried grain, metals, chocolate crumb and a wide range of general cargoes that had come on the steamers arriving at Bristol and Avonmouth.
Following nationalisation of the canals in 1948, Severn Progress became part of the British Waterways fleet and continued towing on the Severn until commercial traffic died out in the late 1960s. Later she moved to the Kennet & Avon Canal to help with restoration and maintenance work between Hanham Lock and Bath. After this role ended in 1991, Severn Progress came to the National Waterways Museum, where she is looked after by the Friends of the Museum who use her for tug handling courses and occasional towing jobs.

There have been additions and tear downs and other revisions. At least it seems like it is moving towards an end.
Have started experimenting with shots that are a little out of my comfort zone this week, and it was only because there was a load of paint tins and boxes around this beauty that I was able to elevate myself and get it at this angle......and as the saying goes....FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY!!! ;o)
Woot, its alive! No, its not, but its assembled ^_^
I wish I could catch a better picture of the color..

I've been taking pictures of myself to see my weight loss & keep me motivated. Week 1 picture is very embarrassing & I stopped wearing clothes like this when I got to this weight.

Man and nature's work in progress, or something profound like that. The trees are in their autumn beauty, as my mate Bill used to observe. A quick play with my Sony Xperia Z5, still testing it out. This was the first proper sunlight since I got it.
In 1986 a twin-car set consisting of trailer no 682 and motor car no 672 reverses in the centre road at North Pier. The conductor has just re-positioned the trolley pole.
This set is now part of Blackpool's heritage fleet and the cars have regained their original numbers - 272 and T2 - and original cream livery.

1872
"This depiction of American Progress captured a common belief in the 'manifest destiny' of Anglo Americans to rule and civlize the New World. Commissioned in 1872 from a New York artist, it appeared in a popular magazine that celebrated the railroads. The central figure wears the 'Star of Empire' and carries a book symbolizing education and enlightenment. From her other hand, telegraph wires 'flash intelligence [information] through the land.' Peace reigns, the years of civi war are over. The partially completed Brooklyn Bridge represents the powerful cities in the East as white Americans and railroads bring progress to the West. The conquest of the American Indians seems assured, though the wars still raged."
From "Chinese American: Exclusion/Inclusion" at the Oregon Historical Society.
It's important to note that to get to the west coast, Ms. Manifest Destiny is going to have to trot across an enormous* amount of land that was part of Mexico until 1848, when the United States took it in a base act of territorial expansion through war. And before that, the land had belonged to Native Americans.
*The United States contains 900,000 square miles of land that used to be Mexico, about equal in size to Western Europe, according to Wikipedia.
