Portraits of Tea Pickers from Sri Lanka
I’ve written already about hard work on Sri Lankan tea plantations, so you if you are interested, you can check Green is All Around.
Today I’d like to share some portraits of these hard working ladies – tea pickers from Ceylon. These are a little bit old pictures, taken almost two years ago, but I still like them:)
Peacock Feather Seller from Jaisalmer
It was early in the morning when I met him sitting near the Jaisalmer fort. Wearing a vivid orange turban on his head and surrounded by peacock feathers, he was waiting for his first clients.
I asked him what the price for a peacock feather fan would be, but what I heard was definitely disapointing.
Fortunately, although I bought nothing, he didin’t mind if I took a picture.
- No problem. – he told me, when I asked him to take a photo. – I’m a very famous man.
To prove his fame, he proudly took out from his bag a kind of portfolio and among many other photos and papers he found an old issue of the German magazine “GEO” with his smiling face on the cover!
Mr Kalichran Singh is a licenced peacock feather seller and it’s possible to meet him in Jaisalmer. Probably some of you have met him already.
I have his business card, because I promised that if somebody decided to publish his photo, I would send him a copy for his portfolio.

Walking the Streets of the Blue Medina in Chefchaouen
Chefchaouen, a little town in the northern Morocco is especially interesting for tourists not only because of nearby Rif Mountains, but mainly for its beautiful, blue medina.
When I saw pictures from there, I started dreaming to visit this place and finally I went there in May 2010.
There will be more photos from this town for sure, but now I’d like to invite you to go for a short walk and meet other “walkers”.
