This will be a photo blog. I enjoy taking pictures, especially of people. Following are photos of folks my camera found during our Myanmar adventure. Many have their faces smeared with a paste made from logs which acts as a sunblock and moisturizer. It’s very popular — and no doubt lots cheaper than Estee Lauder.




A new recipe and a post about travels in Switzerland and Sud Tyrol, Italy, coming soon. Please comment — and sign up to be a Tales and Travel follower (upper right) if you are not already among the smart ones.

I truly love this post and seeing all of these interesting and beautiful faces of all ages. You’ve captured this diversity with a fresh eye. Looking at the lovely “older” woman (just under the caged bird image) underlines the ridicule of our societies in which women will do anything NOT to have beautiful wrinkles, paying any price, including botched surgery. Speaking of caged birds, I love the fact that these birds are bought, then released for good luck. We have much to learn and your travels enlighten me.

Lovely, as is all your work. Beautiful pictures. I try, but I just don’t have the eye.
