    When I first met 72-year-old Leonard he was dealing with the loss of his mother, whom he had lived with all his life. Finding himself thrown into an unfamiliar situation, he was learning to live on his own while dealing with the ins and outs of domesticity for the first time in his life. Since his mothers passing Leonard has moved back to the farm where he was born, now owned by horticultural machinery specialist Ron Greed, whom Leonard has worked for all his life. Although he is well into his retirement years Leonard still enjoys performing odd jobs around the farm while enjoying his own company and reminiscing of times gone by. Leonard is a fascinating individual, full of stories and knowledge, his home represents a landscape of his memories and past life. I would often find myself listening intently as he recalled his life stories, making the occasional frame when I felt necessary. by: danmariner Views[677] When I first met 72-year-old Leonard he was dealing with the loss of his mother, whom he had lived with all his life.

    Photos: Leonard W Elliot (Devon, England)

    UNITED KINGDOM | Wed, 3 Jul 2013 | By danmariner | Photo Gallery | Scholarship Entry

    As a child I recall spending hours flicking through National Geographic magazines, being fascinated by the stories the images told. One photo essay that stuck in my mind was the Hutterites by William Albert Allard. From then onwards, I knew I wanted to ... Read more >

    Wayalailai Island is the true definition of paradise, a place of utter beauty encapsulated in an abundance of fauna and flora. The Wayalailan’s have been inhabitants of this island since their African ancestors came ashore, and they wish to uphold their heritage by promoting eco-sustainability. For the traveller who wants to experience the raw elements of Fijian island life, you can find this at Wayalailai Eco-Haven Resort. You can sit under the stars passing a kava coconut around the ceremonial circle, whilst the Chief tells stories of their ancestral history. You can climb to the top of the island mountain and breathe in the air of all of the Yasawa Islands, or scuba dive with the sharks that are believed to be friends. You can lie peacefully in a hammock and listen to the beauty of silence, or sit on the deck helping the locals prepare the Fijian Lovo. At the end of your day, you can blow on a didgeridoo (an Australian musical instrument) while the sun splashes orange hues across the sky, and realize that you are a very small piece of a bigger ecological puzzle. “Vinaka vaka levu, Wayalailai. Vinaka vaka levu.” : by tijanahuysamen, Views[1346]
