Nice! I also like these series on The Guardian, as well as the photos of the day on the BBC, always interesting. Have a lovely week!
ReplyDeleteThe hungarian style would be very much appreciated to be done by the kids - watering the Mommy... but not for fertility reasons though.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo makes me think of Songkran...water festival in Thailand. The entire country turns into a water fight for three days....it's impossible to arrive anywhere dry!!

Carol,
ReplyDeleteI think I remember something similar in Nepal, but it was also with coloured chalk being thrown (and not just at the women). I think it was also around this time of year.
I love 24 hrs in pictures, and that water one is just gorgeous. An illustration out of a fairytale come to life.
ReplyDeleteps - I'm still going to do the tree post! Have not forgotten. Waiting for the first buds to pop...might be today!
Poor girl! Thanks for the link, I will check it out :^) Happy new week, xo.
