Asia – A week in Pictures 24 July 2011
China are hosting the 14th FINA World Championships in Shanghai. In my mind’s eye, aquatics is a sport of power, grace, balance and beauty but our pictures seem to add the additional factors of concentration, determination or maybe sheer fear. Against my better judgement, I just have to mention that some of the expressions on the athletes’ faces remind me of the age old tradition of gurning . What also made an impression are the angles, different points of focus and continually new shapes that compliment a file that could have been very repetitive.

Staying in China, Shanghai-based Aly Song was quick to react when news broke of a crash involving China’s bullet train . A high speed train was struck by lightning which cut all its power, knocking out the safety system that warned other trains about stalled locomotives on the line. A second train subsequently ploughed into it, killing at least 35 people. Aly arrived in the dark, producing this very moody and dark image of the stricken carriage hanging off a bridge. Staying up all night, Aly continued to shoot and file the mechanical diggers look like animals feeding off a metallic carcass.
Rescuers carry out rescue operations after two carriages from a bullet train derailed and fell off a bridge in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province July 24, 2011. At least 32 people died when a high-speed train smashed into a stalled train in China’s eastern Zhejiang province on Saturday, state media said, raising new questions about the safety of the fast-growing rail network. The accident occurred on a bridge near the city of Wenzhou after the first train lost power due to a lightning strike and a bullet train following behind crashed into it, state television said.
