         		 At first glance Geger beach looks like taken out of a travel brochure: by inqrid, Views[847]
         		 Tibet5 – Small but strong. Like those giant “darchen” (flag poles),Tibetan women have always occupied strong positions and played important roles in tradition and in society. Although petite and more quiet than their male counterparts, several of Tibet’s famous Buddhist practitioners are women and most of the road workers across the plateau are female. : by speck_deyul, Views[900]
         		 Tibet4 – Between 2 worlds. According Tibetan Buddhism, when a person dies, they enter the “intermediate state” in the ghost world in a ghost body and then might reborn as another human being unless they achieve Nirvana. In this picture, the dark silhouette of a woman in the shadow against a bright wall makes her look like a ghost wandering between the death and living world. : by speck_deyul, Views[614]
         		 Tibet3 - Going home? As we took a break to take picture at one the passes, there were a black silhouette walking slowly but surely toward our truck from afar, there were no house nearby except for the ones at the bottom of the opposite mountain. If her house is there, i hope she has good shoes! : by speck_deyul, Views[406]
     
    Tibet2 – Yak is her best friend. In Tibet, yaks are everywhere and do many things.They work hard on the fields, they transport people from one mountain to another, their skins & feather protect people from extreme weather, their meat taste good, their fat replaces candles in temples and on top of that they are good tourist attraction! : by speck_deyul, Views[718]
         		 Tibet1 - Fearless. Mountains are her playground, clouds are her weather forecast, this nomad woman seems to be in perfect harmony with nature at “the roof of the world”. : by speck_deyul, Views[420]

         		 The remains of the day: children play football in the distance on the river-bed at sunset while passenger ferry boats remain stranded in the foreground and background. THe other side of the river with the communication towers is where development has taken place. The opposite side is yet to see the benefits of technology.: by kolikal, Views[293]
         		 The lack of developmental efforts in the region means that ailing patients have to be carried on strechers across the river on foot to the nearest medical facilities.: by kolikal, Views[215]
         		 Returning Home: multitude of human forms cross the river at low tide.: by kolikal, Views[189]

         		 At a time when the river is in full tide. : by kolikal, Views[217]
         		 Close to the church is a small chapel that houses the cross planted by Ferdinand Magellan upon landing in the Philippines. Here, pilgrims can hire the “Sinulog-Women” to perform a prayer-dance in front of the cross. The prayer-dance, which includes a recitation of verses while waving a candle and dancing a set of backward-forward steps, is considered as the highest form of reverence to the Sto.Nino. : by spiderjon, Views[769]
         		 People also visit the church to light candles as offerings. In this image a little girl pauses her prayers, to attend to her candle blown by the wind. The number of candles lit by a person usually has a meaning. Pilgrims visiting the church on their birthdays, for example, light the same amount of candles equivalent to their age. : by spiderjon, Views[1661]
         		 A common sight inside the church, the image of the Holy Child receives offerings mostly in the form of treats that little boys enjoy such as candies and bottled juices. Another common occurrence, a boy, with his grandmother, wipes his towel at the altar with the belief that it has been touched and now blessed by the Sto.Nino. : by spiderjon, Views[529]
     
    The Basilica del Sto.Nino houses the miraculous image of the Sto.Nino, one of the most important symbols of Christianity in the Philippines and in Asia. To accommodate the thousands of believers that hear mass, a pilgrim center has been constructed outside the church. : by spiderjon, Views[634]

         		 After a day of tracking we finally found the Lion we had been looking for, and he was just as magnificent up close as he is in pictures. I wanted to capture how little he thought of us as we all were clicking away frantically.: by abbiemcmanus, Views[236]

         		 The Monkey's name was Appi & he followed us around all afternoon. I wanted to capture his innocence & vulnerability as he watched us curious & playful. : by abbiemcmanus, Views[317]
     
    The Tiger didn't like me & I'm fairly certain if there hadn't been a cage separating us I wouldn't be writing this now. I loved the look on his face that was captured as I realised my insignificance in comparison to this beautiful animal. : by abbiemcmanus, Views[206]
