Cada noche más de cien personas limpian los articulados que transportan a millones de bogotanos cada día. Ellos son los lavadores de Transmilenio, hombres y mujeres que cada noche limpian pisos, sillas, ventanas, llantas; reparan luces, avisos, sistemas y dejan todo listo para que a las cuatro de la mañana miles de buses del sistema de transporte masivo más grande de Colombia recorran miles de kilómetros de la agitada y congestionada Bogotá.

Dunaújváros, Hungary
Dunaújváros is one of the youngest cities of Hungary.
The Communist-Stalinist government of Hungary started an industrialization program. They wanted to built a new city based on the heavy industry. It had to be far from the Yugoslavian border because of the tense relations with Tito. (He was called by the Communist propaganda the ""the chained dog of imperialism".)
Leaders of the Communist Party choose Dunapentele. Dunapente was a small village founded in the middle ages on the site of a Roman military camp, Intercisa.
1000 housing units and a giant factory was built within a year.
The city had a population of 27000 in 1954.
The Communist Party renamed Dunapentele to Sztalinvaros, City of Stalin.
Cultural facilities, theaters, hospitals and schools were built.
The housing units were comfortable and provided an unusual high quality of life.
Wide, tree lined streets connected the houses with the factories and cultural centers. The houses were better built and the city was far better designed than other constructions of the Communism between the 70ies and 80ies.
Sztalinvaros was supposed to demonstrate the superiority of Communism.
The government changed the city's name to Dunaujvaros (New City on the Danube) in 1960.
The concept of the communist industrial city was widely controversial after the fall of the communism - but Dunaujvaros soon transformed into a model capitalist city.
I walked into a medical office on the 6th floor and saw this worker caulking the window. I was particularly interested in his safety harness and how it was connected, and whether he would be secure if the scaffolding should fall. I couldn't look closely enough to make that determination without making a spectacle of myself in front of the other people in the waiting room, so I just snapped the photo with my pocket camera.
Worker honey bee are fated to a life of hard labor. Their wings are tattered from constant trips between flower nectar sources and the hive. Each worker honey bee (shown here) will make about 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in her 1-2 month adult lifespan. They travel up to 2 miles to a nectar source, and must visit over 2 million flowers to make only one pound of honey. Many of the foods we eat come from plants that rely on honey bees for pollination. Throughout the Northern Hemisphere honey bee populations have suffered from the mysterious colony collapse disorder (CCD), where bees disappear from their hives. Scientists now think a new generation of systemic pesticides increasingly in use is at least partly to blame for CCD.
