Sometimes the interesting things happen after a big event - just as everyone is turning around and walking away. Contributor Iskandar Syaharizal stuck around after a community firefighting demonstration in Kuala Lumpur and captured these neighborhood kids playing in the puddle of foam left behind.

While contributor Supratik Chakraborty stuck around after the end of an idol immersion ceremony in India just as a young boy came forward to dive in after them.

Mining gold in Russia’s remote Chukotka region

Jeremy Schultz — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:20:09 +0000

Chukotka, a region revived in the last eight years by the $2.5 billion investment of Chelsea soccer club owner Roman Abramovich, produced a fifth of Russia's gold in the first half of this year. Gold is the region's passport to growth after Abramovich quit as governor last July.

Only South Africa holds more gold than Russia, but Moscow's fragmented industry has struggled to access vast reserves in its inhospitable Far East. The region was first mined in the 1930s by prisoners of the Gulags set up by Soviet leader Josef Stalin.

Senior Commodities Correspondent Robin Paxton and Moscow-based video journalist Heleen van Geest return from the Chukchi Peninsula with a series on the revival of gold mining in the Gulag region.
