Last of f our posts. Hope that by now you realize that I would prefer it if you looked at Number 1 first. Thanks.
Washing dishes. This is a common sight in many countries, but think of what that water must contain.
They wash their clothes in that water as well, then they wear them ... as do their infants. But what choice have they? One thing I got from all my travels is that I came to understand just how lucky I am.
She was washing herself. I learned that there were public baths of some sort, but most of the people could not afford them more than once in a while.
If you look back at my photos, you will notice that most of the folks were smiling as they worked. This woman certainly wasn't. Perhaps she overheard one of my jokes.
And this lady had a really inviting smile.

And here is the other.
Enjoyed these. I can not travel and it is nice to see places which I would never have a chance to enjoy.
I am always looking forward to your photographs! Thank you!

Fantastic set!!
And yet they survive!!!
In a manner of speaking, they go beyond survival. They prosper.
I especially like 5, the smiling lady. I believe that oftentimes Happiness is a matter of attitude, even in difficult circumstances.
I especially love all your people pictures!
But they're all great!
You always write such nice things, so thank you. As a matter of fact, I like my people pictures best as well. I have so many from so many different places, that I could probably post ten every day for the rest of my life.
Thank you, Jim. And I appreciate your always generous comments.
