    The Spanish word for gentleman is el caballero, meaning- 'man on horseback'. Just outside the Spanish town of Segovia men on horseback use long poles to guide bulls to town for the festival. Although the bulls will eventually be killed and butchered it is the goal of these men, and considered a sign of skill, to deliver the bulls to the arena unharmed. by: 9stars Views[1742] I could no longer presume that all the, sometimes cruel, traditions were merely for the pleasure of killing bulls or baby pigs or deer. I had witnessed equal attention being paid to the care of those same animals as well as to tending to their gardens, the unearthing of onions and the picking of tomatoes. It is the pride these men take in being the master of their land and using their own two hands to do so that defines them as Spanish Men. by: 9stars Views[465] The eldest of eight brothers uses a stick he picked up on the path for support on his walk after dinner. This is his families land and has been for a long time. He tells me that they planted the trees in rows because they are great connoisseurs of shade. by: 9stars Views[382] One of eight brothers stands at the entrance to a small kitchen overseeing the preparation of the days feast. He seems dissatisfied and his wife tells me that, although he would never admit to the defeat, it's because his youngest brother caught bigger cangrejo de río (crayfish) then he did. She winks when she tells me this and every time he shifts impatiently or makes a hurumphing sound she looks at me and we giggle. by: 9stars Views[392] The whole, roast, suckling pig is served with a salad consisting of lettuce, tomato and onion picked from the garden and then drizzled with olive oil. I'm taken by the simplicity of the dishes. It is a reflection of the people and the place...straight forward, close to it's origins and full of flavor. by: 9stars Views[402]
     
    This is Kasper Fredericks who crafts and sells his scrap metal windmills to tourists, his only source of income. Another humbling moment for me, all he asked was that I send him a photograph care of the local Post Office by: helenmae Views[4165]
     
    A group of happy healthy children were only too willing to pose for me. The price? A few sweeties each for them and a humbling moment for me by: helenmae Views[1367] Alcoholism and meths drinking are rife in the township - maybe the only escape from the drudgery of life for this woman by: helenmae Views[893] A proud mama in her mean kitchen in the Coloured Township of Nieu-Bethesda by: helenmae Views[829] Humble dwellings and dusty streets in the village of Nieu-Bethesda in the heart of the Great Karoo by: helenmae Views[752] Plain building wall on a typical cobbled street corner. I attempted to capture a mundane scene exposed through the autumn light. by: erick2 Views[477]
     
    Local park scene at sunset. I attempted to capture the different reasons why people visit parks; through a background bench that sits a couple, and a foreground bench that sits loneliness. by: erick2 Views[602] Students in the corridor of a historical university. I attempted to capture the contrast of the old academia environment being experienced by the young students. by: erick2 Views[251] Crosses on a hill in the remote countryside. I attempted to capture the strong faith I felt in all the local people. by: erick2 Views[200] Inside of a bare train station with a waiting passenger. I attempted to capture the feeling of being in a cold hall with occasional strong echoes. by: erick2 Views[209] This once ferocious predator is reduced to a pile of dead meat, waiting to be carved up for sale at market. by: nsolveland Views[454]
     
    Sharks and rays lay on the floor ready to be carved into pieces for sale at market. by: nsolveland Views[547] A fisherman sorts through his morning's catch ready to be taken to market. by: nsolveland Views[479] A fisherman proudly holds up one of his morning's catch for me to photograph. by: nsolveland Views[461] Even the smallest of animals depends on the fishing trade in Puerto Lopez. by: nsolveland Views[476]
