    Creatures swooped in to visit and we were at one with heady, salt-scented nature. by: annabelcandy Views[1008] Two kids washing a bicycle in Pavel Hancearencu, the town's gravediggers in Sulina, lights a cigarette while his nephew, Augustin Hriscenco, takes turn on digging the grave for the next day funeral, on Christmas Eve. Sulina, Danube Delta, Romania. by: alext Views[438] The Prayer Wheel is such a significant artifact in the lives of the Ladakhi people. It's like they're in a constant state of meditation, constantly spinning the wheel and chanting as they go about their daily tasks. One interesting detail about spinning the prayer wheel is that the wheel must actually be spun clockwise while chanting. One instinctively spins it clockwise which is actually the incorrect direction since the wheel must always be spun in the direction in which the scriptures are inscribed. by: rssarma Views[394] Getting lost in the architecture of Stonetown is impossible to avoid if you don't live there. Maps are useless in this maze of narrow stone alleys––down one lane might be a row of bustling craft shops, but make one turn and you may be alone. Here some children wait for random passerby to snicker and gawk at. by: olie Views[260]
     
    The town of Tanhkoy sits between Lake Baikal and the Baikal Nature Reserve. by: cgat Views[355] At the end of the day, it's time to milk the yaks, their most valuable possession. The kids collect them around the near valleys as the olders take the milk. In the photos are Baba, Nyima and Mother. by: kham-nomads Views[1436] The missionaries sought to provide training and employment in their Tannery, Shearing shed and Smithy. by: kimpreston Views[398] My grandmother prepares everything in bulk, in this image the winter supply of handmade noodles is in progress. She spends a day and 44 eggs to make enough of a pasta stockpile to last all winter. She has a true squirrel nature, and the basement is stocked with enough preserves, pickled watermelon, compotes and other produce to last at least 6 years. When she kills a chicken, she automatically places it at the back of the freezer for later, and instead chooses an elderly specimen, which has been in frozen for a long time. On one of my first visits, I discovered a chicken that had been in the freezer for 5 years. by: pjan3202 Views[550] I try to imagine a story if I don't know the person in my photo. In this instance, I like to think that he is secretly buying sweets, maybe his wife doesn't let him eat all the candy he wants. by: g4rret Views[422]
     
    Happiest children enjoying their lives. by: allenvalladares Views[269] Seagull Yoga, not pests at all but genuine beach characters. by: beach Views[269] A man unloads the final pig of a pile of five , from the boot of his family car to take into the market hall for sale. San Pedro Markets, Cuzco, Peru. by: laramer Views[593] My way of explaining happiness in one picture by: dudemeister Views[328] With its mouth and paws stained from the blood of salmon, a spirit bear takes a break to shake the rain from its fur. This rare subspecies of American black bear, with a recessive gene for white fur, is only found in the Great Bear Rainforest. With a population estimated at just 400 animals, an oil spill here could have grave consequences for the spirit bear's future. by: timirvin Views[507]
     
    A grown man is subjected to a bucketful of coloured yellow powder in Sewri, Mumbai. by: zosogis Views[365] Young smiling Haitians run quickly to dinner after a day's work of re-building. by: shayspaniola Views[287]
