Activists fight to save the Queen's Pier in Hong Kong's financial district, August 1, 2007. ÊThe colonial-era pier in the city's financial heart became a civic battleground in 2007. The government wanted it removed for reclamation and roadworks, angering activists fighting to save what they viewed as a historic site. The saga reached boiling point in August when police forcibly evicted a band of activists and hunger strikers who had camped there for months. It was demolished in 2008.

A history enthusiast dressed as a member of the French Artillery regiment smokes a pipe as he takes part in a re-enactment of Napoleon's famous battle of Waterloo in Braine-l'Alleud August 17, 2013. The first tourists to the site of one of the most decisive battles in European history arrived the very next day to inspect a scene of carnage where tens of thousands lay dead or wounded. They came by carriage from Brussels on a roughly 8-mile journey. Nearly 200 years after the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815, a trip to the site in present-day Belgium by train, bus and then on foot through a tangle of roadworks won't end in a blood-stained vista, but can still pose a challenge.
