    With rain beating down his hat, a local Hmong boy takes a shortcut through a rice paddy. by: kien Views[682] Rainy night at Mr. Soon's rented family home and workplace. His family generations have been staying here for the past 120 years. Life here however is coming to an end for Mr. Soon and his family by December 2014. With the once famous British colonial trading settlement - George Town rapidly turning into tourist town after the conferment of UNESCO title in 2008, he is not spared from merciless home eviction due to capitalism. Even being listed in the intangible heritage trade inventory, Mr. Soon today is facing the threat of not having a place to run his old trade, as the rental price tag has skyrocketed to an unrealistic figure, that poses so much threat to his already endangered trade - the bamboo and rattan weaver trade. He is contemplating to stop his old trade, not because of the lack of business volume, but basically involuntary movement (without any protection and relocation effort from UNESCO official monitoring agency) and high rental for alternative place. The gentrification of tourism has caused ripple effect of lacking of workplace for traditional trade and residence for the living heritage. Food for thought. We hope this series of documentary photos give us room to think, how could we make the photos meaningful and to help the community at large. by: theforgottenbambooandrattantrade Views[1030] A doll lies abandoned in a gutter after heavy rain in Kabul. The drains running alongside either side of the roads in Kabul are usually uncovered and are often used to dispose of rubbish and sewerage. by: cathjam Views[1614] A man pushes a cart in the rain past one of Kabul’s many wedding halls. The wedding halls are the largest buildings in the city, typically gaudy in design and lit up with colourful neon lights at night. They are a stark contrast to the general poverty of the surrounds and the grey of the dust-coated city. by: cathjam Views[1343] A mixture of snow and rain in the desert, this tree has seen it all. by: taylorburk Views[739]
     
    Setting off; During the month of April Zanzibar experience stormy rain, mostly during the morning. These storms can subside as suddenly as they appeared. by: jacques Views[573] Thanks to the dedicated work carried out at the sanctuary, orphans such as Nanga, pictured here playing in the rain, have the opportunity to live with their own kind in beautiful forest surroundings. Sadly, the same isn't true for the many thousands of their kind who are estimated to be killed each year to fuel the illegal bushmeat trade. by: bickers Views[742] Me and the Eiffel Tower by: madaussie Views[862] Paris :) Eiffel tower in the clouds by: madaussie Views[541] Caught in monsoon showers of chinatown, bangkok. by: jfernandes Views[893]
     
    Caught in the monsoon showers of Chinatown by: jfernandes Views[847] I love to watch the storm approaching like this. The landscape lets your eyes search into the disance. One gets a sense of vastness. by: allwelcome Views[1378] love it by: allwelcome Views[797]
