    Jack, Jim, JoAnn & Janice by: ljkennedy Views[263] A grandfather & his granddaughter are resting in the shade of one of Dimen's bridges. These impressively colourful constructions cater for the community as a meeting space, shade and to connect the different parts of the village that embrace the river running through it. by: guizhouimpressions Views[1162] The Akha tribe´s grandparents often care for their grandchildren while parents work in local factories set up by Thailand´s Royal Family to combat a lack of legitimate alternatives to the opium production industry once rife in the area. Not one generation before, the Northern tribes had been completely in the grips of the poppy. Old faces bear the scars of this strenous past. by: doitung Views[894] I chose to study abroad in Varanasi, India for several reasons. It is one of the oldest living cities in the world and the holiest pilgrimage site in Hinduism. Before coming I knew I would get to partake in Diwali…the festival of color and lights. This is a picture of my host father and sister creating a Rangoli for the festival. Diwali is the celebration of Rama's coming, and signifies the victory of light over darkness. It is celebrated by the marriage of Ganesh-ji and Lakshmi. The Rangoli is a sand drawing created as a sacred welcoming for Lakshmi to enter the home and bless all inside. While the festival preparations extend over a period of five days, the main celebration coincides with the new moon (literally light vs. the dark). I was fortunate enough to celebrate this day with my host family because while so much of the visual beauty is outside, the sacred rituals are done in the home. Watching the older generation pass ancient traditions on to the new generation was something to behold. by: willow_post Views[787] At the end i went to visit grandparents with my family and there my story for this scholarship ends ...because the didnt give my money.... by: paly Views[421]
     
    A FAMILY WALK IN SACRO MONTE DI CREA PARK, LOCATED ON ONE OF THE HIGHEST PART OF BASSO MONFERRATO HILLS. THE SACRALIZATION OF THIS HILL IS PROBABLY DUE TO SAINT EUSEBIO, VERCELLI BISHOP. THE LEGEND SAYS THAT IN FOURTH CENTURY THE SAINT ESCAPED FROM ARIANI PERSECUTION, TAKING REFUGE IN THIS PLACE, AND THUS MOVING HERE ALSO A STATUE OF THE VIRGIN. by: francescogrilli Views[783] Ketut Liyer- My experience with the 100 year old medicine man of Bali. by: jbelairburba Views[1013] Karma is reading a book she brought from Kathmandu about interesting facts from around the world. The only way to stay connected with the other side in a way. Spring in the Himalayas is beautiful but among the striking landscapes lays harsh reality. The only person who Karma can open up about her aspirations is her little brother and random strangers. She loves her family yet big world has now taken a room in her heart. by: palnitro Views[1421] Inside the woolen tent anticipation of dinner is in the air. Father has left yaks high up in the mountains for a day. He spends time with Karma’s younger brother who is spinning his prayer drum in the puja corner. His son joined a monastery as a student and will be leaving the household soon as well. by: palnitro Views[1145] Mother is preparing traditional Tibetan tea. What seems like a perfect household is actually on the brink of collapse as there’s no one to continue the tradition. Karma wants to study psychology in Kathmandu but can’t explain this to her mother and feels sore about that. by: palnitro Views[1002]
     
    16 years old daughter of the yak shepherds Karma is enjoying her morning wash. It will be her first summer with the family after a few years of high school in busy and “civilized” Kathmandu. Life of a shepherd attracts her less and less. She has a Facebook account now too. by: palnitro Views[1510] Early morning in the high valley (4300m) at the edge of Upper Mustang (Nepal) where mother of a small family is milking one of the 70 yaks that belong to them. Behind that mountain is Tibet. Yaks are very valuable and provide food, fur/wool and fuel for many remote villages in the desert area. While one may be considered rich having so many yaks it is a non-stop hard work that only leaves room for a prayer. by: palnitro Views[1600] The shepherds take their families to the jailoos. If not all their children, at least the youngest ones. Women are responsible for the yurt, turning it into a living place during the day and a sleeping room at night. They cook and help with the animals catering. by: elisecolette Views[772] Rainbows: crayons and paper are strewn over the table at a girls' home after dinner, a time to explore creativity and complete homework. by: unumastrum Views[1538]
     
    The Family. Nick's collection of boards for the many conditions that apply. by: asurfersdream Views[794] Fruits, vegetables, oil, fish, homemade cheeses and cigarettes are all here sells both large and small quantities ...They offer their own homes as accommodation for tourists at a low amount, moreless 8€ per night. Only a small percentage of the population is well employed. Imagine a 5-member family living just from the sale of fruits and vegetables .. The average salary is 250 euros per month in this country and the number is only relative. What they earn over the summer it must last over winter. Hard life, but still, they are very cheerful and nic people .. by: rainbowoneachside Views[802] A peek into the life of a typical Uyghur family, in Xinjiang, Western China. It appears that bonding over a freshly sliced melon is an integral part of their culture. There is this great sense of intimacy that radiates from them, when you see them relishing the sweetness, in both the fruit as well as the kinship. by: priscilla_ong Views[1153] While it is a hard and sometimes lonely life, there is time for enjoying a good meal within the comforts of a yurt. The wife sits close to the kettle and pours a cup of tschai. Usually this is mixed with kumus (fermented horse milk) and sometimes some butter and salt. The self-baked bread, made in self built stone ovens, tastes best with some homemade marmalade or butter. As long as the meal lasts, the family seems to forget about life outside the yurt and the hardship of their lives. by: jeftedebruin Views[992] a young Myanmar family was going back home after a long day on the field. All they need is a happy rest under their roof. I cant stop looking their backs. by: ngaymua Views[825]
     
    Who would think the whole family would come together over dead granny's tomb? by: photonomy Views[389] Ella is the latest addition to the family and the highlight of every visit. When asked what kind of dog she is the kids answer simply: “a brown one.” by: grainfedphoto Views[1775] For Ervin’s grandchildren, Micah and Finley, weekend trips to the farm are a chance to run free and play. The days are spent foraging for feathers, caterpillars and flowers for their Mom. Sometimes Finley will even get to hunt Wompas with his Dad, a big Star Wars fan. by: grainfedphoto Views[1963] With her Canada Goose feather collection in hand, Micah stares out at the pond for further inspiration. by: grainfedphoto Views[2036] Ervin was quick to offer us a ride around the property in his 1953 Chevy that still runs beautifully. by: grainfedphoto Views[1805]
     
    Ervin is a consultant in the city but his true passion is the farm. After years of dividing their time between the city, he and his wife Dee, an artist, have moved to the farm permanently. The daily commute - an hour each way - is a small price to pay. by: grainfedphoto Views[1866] Milford Sound - not a cloud in the sky. Is this a first?? by: crustyadventures Views[1253] Short hike to the edge of the glacier. It wasn't freezing, except for the biting wind so we wrapped Jemima's hands in a pair of my woolly socks. by: crustyadventures Views[1419] Wonderful grey seas and skies on the coast between Kaikoura and Blenheim. by: crustyadventures Views[1205] Rosy cheeked after 15 minutes at -1 deg on top of the glacier. by: crustyadventures Views[1074]
