I really wish I took more pictures of people and city life especially while I was in Peshawar. I mean, I was probably like the only one who wasn't covering her face and everyone stares at you like... meat. So whenever I did pull out my camera, I just felt super uncomfortable.
The little story of this particular picture is that we were leaving Sadar (literally meaning the market/bazaar) in Peshawar and I was about to get into the taxi. I quickly snapped a picture of the sunset and city and then this guy asked me to take a picture of him. He was so happy afterwards (look at that smile on his face ;~; jksfh)
It killed me inside to see the widespread poverty :'((
Thee I love, more than the meadow so green and still
More than the mulberries on the hill
More than the buds on a May apple tree, I love thee
Arms have I, strong as the oak, for this occasion
Lips have I, to kiss thee, too, in friendly persuasion
Thee is mine, though I don't know many words of praise
Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways
So put on your bonnet, your cape, and your glove
And come with me, for thee I love
This is from yesterday when I was out in the garden. At first I took some photos of my little sister but after a while I discoverd this little dude! And it all ended up like this!
The fall is coming btw! Today, for example, you could really feel the cold in the air, even though it was 15 degrees above celsius! Crap! I don´t wan´t it to start already! And even worst is that I have seen some trees starting to change colour! OMG! OMG! OMG! (Do I have to tell you that I hate winter?)
Another angle of an abandoned house in Friendly West Virginia. I couldnt get around to the other side as there is a large dog tied up to the left side of the property and private property on the right. Railroad tracks sit just behind (or in front) of the house. I was anxious to see what the opposite side looked like as I imagine it to be the front of the house facing the river. I'll have to go back when I have more time. I'll walk the tracks if I have to.

The children learn to help out at a very young age, so by the time they are teenagers they are taking a very active part in the many chores that need doing.
View from Fowey towards the mouth of River Fowey opening into the English Channel, Cornwall
Some background information:
Fowey is a small harbour town and civil parish at Cornwall‘s south east coast. With its about 2,300 inhabitants the town has a great number of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as many historic buildings, including the ruins of St Catherine’s Castle. At Readymoney Cove Fowey’s local public beach can be found.
Fowey (on the right side) is connected with the village of Polruan (on the left side) by a ferry, which crosses the river to and from Polruan every 15 minutes and operates every day of the year. Another ferry connects Fowey to the village of Bodinnick.
According to the Domesday Book a priory at Tywardreath near Fowey was established in the twelfth century. Around 1300 this priory granted a charter to the people living in Fowey itself. In the following years the natural harbour allowed trade to develop with Europe and local ship owners often hired their vessels to the king to support various wars. However the town also developed a reputation for piracy, as did many other Cornish harbor towns and villages at this time.
In the fourteenth century the harbour was defended by 160 archers. After these were withdrawn, two blockhouse fortifications were built on either side of the harbour entrance at Fowey and Polruan. Between the two blockhouses was strung a chain to prevent enemy ships entering the harbor. However for friendly vessels the chain was lowered of course. Despite these defences the town was attacked by French forces in 1457. To embattle the fortifications a small castle was built on St Catherine’s Point, the western side of the harbour entrance, around 1540. In 1667 the harbour defences proved their worth when a Dutch attack was beaten off.
The people of Fowey generally sided with the Royalists during the English Civil War, but in 1644 the Earl of Essex brought a Parliamentarian army to Lostwithiel and occupied the peninsula around Fowey. In August a Royalist army surrounded Essex’s troops and King Charles I himself viewed Fowey from Hall Walk above Polruan, where he came close to being killed by a musket shot. On 31 August the Parliamentarian cavalry forced their way through the Royalist lines and retreated towards Saltash, leaving the foot soldiers to be evacuated by sea from Fowey. Essex and some officers did indeed escape, but the majority of the force surrendered a few days later near Golant and were then marched to Poole, but most died before reaching there.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth century the fortunes of the harbour became much reduced, with trade going to Plymouth and elsewhere instead. Nevertheless fishing and also smuggling became more important. Local merchants were often appointed as privateers, who did a lot of smuggling on the side. Fowey also became a centre for china clay exports. Nowadays fishing and china clay are still important for the town’s ecomomy, whilst smuggling definitely lost its importance as a main source of income to tourism business.
