  • Two construction workers wash after a long shift constructing Hong Kong's new airport on Chep Lap Kok Island. With their backs turned to the viewer, the workmen attend to their hygiene at a makeshift washhouse attached to a yellow shipping container. One man reaches to wash between his shoulder blades and the other rinses his forearms. The island has been inhabited on and off since the Middle Neolithic period 6,000 years ago and the airport was built on a large artificial island formed by levelling Chek Lap Kok and Lam Chau islands (3.02 km² and 0.08 km² respectively), and reclaiming 9.38 km² of the adjacent seabed. The original farming and fishing villages on the island were relocated to Chek Lap Kok Village on Lantau. The core programme cost more than $20bn and involved four major sponsors, ten separate projects and 225 construction contracts.

  • Two mahouts (handlers) wash their domesticated male Asian elephants in the river during the Sayaboury elephant festival, Sayaboury province, Lao PDR. Originally created by ElefantAsia in 2007, the 3-day elephant festival takes place in February in the province of Sayaboury with over 80,000 local and international people coming together to experience the grand procession of decorated elephants. It is now organised by the provincial government of Sayaboury.The Elephant Festival is designed to draw the public's attention to the condition of the endangered elephant, whilst acknowledging and celebrating the ancestral tradition of elephant domestication and the way of life chosen by the mahout. Laos was once known as the land of a million elephants but now there are fewer than 900 living in the country. Around 470 of them are in captivity, traditionally employed by a lucrative logging industry. Elephants are trained and worked by a mahout (handler) whose relationship to the animal is often described as a marriage and can last a lifetime. But captive elephants are often overworked and exhausted and as a consequence no longer breed. With only two elephants born for every ten that die, the Asian elephant, the sacred national emblem of Laos, is under serious threat of extinction.
