    Beautiful little girl living in the batey close to the fields. She sat quietly next to the group of tourists to listen to the conversations. Her eyes were sad and meaningful, and her attitude timid but assertive. She seemed to know so much, yet eager to learn even more. by: onethousandwords Views[465] The carved symbols and geometric designs carry great meaning to the Tao fishing community. Red, white and black are the only colors used on a traditional Ping-Ban-Zhou. Red was originally from the fine island earth, rich in iron oxide, black from the carbon of the cooking fires, and the white of calcium oxide from burning sea shells, usually of the giant clam (Tridacna gigas). The person-like symbol represents the family accompanying the fisherman to bring him comfort and prevent him from ever being alone while fishing in the vast ocean. This is particularly reassuring for the individual in his one man boat. The radiating, sun-like symbol, represents the eyes of the Ping-Ban-Zhou to ensure the fishermen will find the right direction to the huge schools of flying fish and be able to return safely home. This photograph shows these two most significant symbols for the fishermen. by: limt Views[1401] 'Andean eyes passing by'. Chapter 1. I arrived to Cusco on New Year's Eve. This big day unfolds in front of my eyes. I know there's a big celebration coming at night. But I have the whole day to explore yet! Under the jagged silhouette of this cloud-high city - capital of the Inca Empire - there's a rythmic up and down of vehicles, merchants, and tiny dogs that goes on all day. On the early morning, the only girl on this crowded bus is dressed all in red. She has such a mysterious look and she stares at me, one eye covered by the frame of the window - while a busy bus goes wobbling around down Cusco's mazy streets. by: luigimeetsworld Views[640] The only girl on this crowded bus is dressed all in red. She has a mysterious look and she stares at me - with the subtle detail of one eye covered by the frame of the window - Meanwhile, this busy bus goes wobbling around down Cusco's mazy streets, and we are never gonna se each other again. by: luigiluigi Views[1038] Father and Child about to watch cock fight.

    You never know a child's pain until you can see clearly into their eyes. by: rachelhartmanphotography Views[574] This little girl was fascinated with my camera and kept asking to have her picture taken. Most children would smile but this is the face she made when I counted to three. I can't get over the pain in her expression. by: madelinemckain Views[358]

    Close up on the Intombi. Back in Broome's pearling heyday, from the 1880's to around the 1920's, the town had a fleet of dozens of these small boats which would comb the coast, sending off divers to look for mother of pearl shell. The diver, their air pump tender, a sheller and the pilot would live on board for weeks at a time, pulling up thousands of dollars worth of shell for the master pearlers in Broome.: by flyted, Views[576]
