  • Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh (U.P.), India, February 2009 : Mayawati, U.P.'s Chief Minister for the 4th time in a row, is an icon for millions of India's Dalits, or "Untouchables" who provide an important base for her after centuries of oppression by the Hindu upper castes. But more than that, she is known nation wide as an extremely corrupt, extortionist, untrustworthy, politician who governs with an iron fist and strikes fear in all under her rule. Seen here are massive construction works ordered by Mayawati, but what they are building are hundreds of statues of herself (some even with a clearly marked Versace handbag) and her mentor besides a few other Dalit leaders. There are hundreds of these structures under construction in U.P., which could end up costing $250 million dollars of public money.

  • Tree-like structures called Supertrees dominate the 'Gardens by the Bay' landscape with heights of up to 50 metres. These vertical gardens perform a multitude of functions, which include planting, shading and working as environmental engines for the gardens. Fitted with environmental technologies that mimic the ecological function of trees – photovoltaic cells that harness solar energy which can be used for some of the functions of the Supertrees, such as lighting (mimicking photosynthesis in nature); and collection of rainwater for use in irrigation and fountain displays, (mimicking rainwater absorption for growth in nature). The Supertrees also serve air intake and exhaust functions as part of the conservatories' cooling systems.<br />
Gardens by the Bay is an integral part of a strategy by the Singapore government to transform Singapore from a "Garden City" to a "City in a Garden". The stated aim is to raise the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in the city. Photo by Suzanne Lee/Panos Pictures
