We stopped just above Pumpkin Spring at about River Mile 212.5 and hiked up to this incredible area of sculpted rock. At one place we dropped down through "the manhole" to a lower level and hiked out to a different part of the sculpture garden before continuing to Pumpkin Spring

Soon after taking this photo half a dozen more railway workers poped there heads up and stared at me. Then some guy came and started telling me i needed permission to take photo's there. I am only a teenager, and wasn't expecting this, so he was a bit intimidating. I knew i was allowed to take photos, but this guy didn't look happy and was huge, so i just tried to worm my way out of it by acting as if i didn't know i wasn't allowed to. He soon left and then so did I. I wish I had taken photos of them (they were all staring at me like i had just commited a crime), but it was low light. This photo was taken with at about 75mm and a shutter speed of 1/15 of a second.

Hundreds dock workers strike over 10 days against Long Hours & Low Pay working in the Port Terminal. Last Sunday, those dockers and their supporters marched to Cheung Kong Center (the top boss of HK Port Terminal) in their bid to get the port operator to raise their pay.
My personal view point, I totally support them to ask for their need, but I don't agree to use some extreme method like strike to express there angry. The strike already start to affect the economy, wish they could come up a win-win solution with port operators.

A construction worker, sitting on a boundary wall of a man made lake (under construction) at Bopal village of Gujarat.
Evening 5, I was roaming around the lake with my camera to get some shots and he was sitting on the wall, taking his food, probably noticing me. He called me, left his rotis aside (see left side) and said "Photo, sir, photo."
Look at the kind of satisfaction and completeness he is having on his face which I see rarely.

The women are mainly cared for by midwives, but the midwives are trained to stop problems and consult doctors assigned to the hospital. While Aisha Sulaiman had a very difficult birth, she was carrying twins, one was breeched. The midwife delivered that childr, but then the contractions couldn't get the other one down so they did a C-section on her.
The midwife, Jamila Sani Shariff who only qualified a few months before is there to receive the baby after it was Csectioned out.

War on Want joined UK and US fast food workers at McDonald’s in Whitehall, London, on Wednesday 13 January, as part of a global campaign for fast food workers’ rights. The demonstration was followed by a fast food forum at parliament, hosted by Fast Food Rights. UK and US fast food workers were joined by Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell MP, who founded the Fast Food Rights campaign alongside the Bakers and Allied Food Workers Union (BFAWU) in 2014, and other leading figures from the trade union and anti-austerity movement.
War on Want has long fought for the rights of workers. We stand proudly beside fast food workers in the UK, and the US Fight For $15 movement, in the global struggle for a living wage, better working conditions and union rights.

Construction site of a block of luxury flats (le Nouvel Ardmore) in Ardmore Park, Singapore at midday on 15 September 2012, the last day of the seventh month of the lunar year. The construction workers are burning paper (fake) money to appease the hungry ghosts.
The Hungry Ghost Month is held in August or September, depending on the lunar calendar with the highlight being the Hungry Ghost Festival.
A lot more attention is paid the Hungry Ghost Month in Singapore and Malaysia than in Hong Kong.
Wing Tai Asia is a property development company in Singapore, Malaysia, China and Hong Kong with its head office in Singapore. Most of the construction workers taking part in the ritual are Bangladeshi or Indian.
During this month, it is believed the king of hell opens the gates of hell to allow ghosts to visit the living world. It is the only time of year that ghosts are released to freely roam the Earth.
The hungry ghosts, also called good brethren, are believed to be ancestors of people who were not given a proper funeral or burial. People also give sacrifices to anonymous ghosts to keep them away and from harming them.
Ghost Month festivities begin at midnight on the first day of the seventh month of the lunar year when the gates of hell are open. Many temples across China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan hold ceremonies which include incense burning, food offerings, prayers and lantern lighting. Red lanterns bearing the names of the deceased are switched on and remain on for the duration of the festival.
Daily rituals during the Hungry Ghost Month include people offering sacrifices to the ghosts so the hungry ghosts will not harm them. The sacrifices include rice, meat and fruit. Red candles, joss sticks, incense, and paper money are burned daily until the end of the month when it is believed the ghosts return to hell. Miniature paper items like cars, houses, and clothes are also burned as the living want to ensure the deceased have all the material goods they need for the coming year.
Some families eat vegetarian meals and set an extra place settings for each deceased family members.
In the middle of the Hungry Ghost month is the Hungry Ghost Festival. Paper lanterns are placed on the water and burned on this evening. It is believed the gates of hell are the most open on this night. Many believers refrain from going out after the dark for fear they may encounter a ghost.
The ghosts return to the underworld and the gates of hell are closed on the last night of Hungry Ghost Month.
