    Boy right after he managed to catch lamb in order to put coloured dye on it. by: breakingwave Views[497] Coming from four seasons area one might wonder what these animals can feed on on the field that has been harvested like this one and reminds scorched Earth. Well, some creaturee are more creative than the others in finding ways how to fill up their stomach. And that´s the fascinating and inpiring thing about places like this - the ability of adaptation in order to survive in harsh, but beautiful environment - making use of everything. by: breakingwave Views[625] All members of bedouin families are taking part in everyday work. Boys are usually taking care of flocks of sheep and goats. by: breakingwave Views[706] I went on a day trip from the city of Hama lying in fertile Orontes valley towards east to the edge of Syrian desert, where is thriving bedouin community in succession of small settlements, one of which is called Sarouj. Right after I got out of bus in first village I was greeted by the tractor driver and his jovial coworkers, who had appareantly so much fun with themselves. That was a great introduction into this place. by: breakingwave Views[733] After our working time we can do whatever we want. Sometimes we play basketball or ping-pong, sometimes we watch movie, play guitar, occasionally we make fire. Just like the picture, having a fire is my favourite entertainment, everyone could share their story, and because all the Wwoofers came from different country so we always have stories to tell. Through the communication between us and Toni, we could know what's a real local Aussie life which is very important to a traveler, and she could also know many different culture in this world.

The owner of a goat's dairy farm in Australia. They make and sell goat's cheese for living. In the farmer's market, she was selling cheese confidently. And just like her confident smile, their cheese did won several awards was given annually by Royal Show which is the largest agriculture community event in WA. by: australianlife Views[479] Among the plantations of the Akha Ama cooperative in northern Thailand, some 14 families have joined together to promote a future in sustainable agriculture. by: sobremesainspain Views[578]
