We met these Gujjar kids on our way to the Thajiwas Glacier in Sonmarg. Gujjars are a nomadic tribe of shepherds who move up to the greener pastures in the hills in the summer. Come winter, they move down to the plains with their entire households and flocks.
Due to this lifestyle, the kids usually miss out on conventional schooling. These kids had attended a nomadic school and as proof, they recited to us the alphabet, numbers and also some song and dance. They were happy to receive chocolates as their award.

Wir trafen diese Kinder auf dem Weg zum Thajiwas-Gletscher in Sonmarg. Die Gujjar sind ein Nomadenstamm , im Sommer leben Sie auf den grünen Wiesen hoch in den Bergen. Im Winter wandern Sie hinab in das Tal mit Sack und Pack. Wegen dieser Lebensweise haben die Kinder natürlich keine gewöhnliche Schule oder Unterrichtszeiten. Diese Kinder besuchen aber eine Nomadenschule und als Beweis dafür, sagten Sie uns das Alphabet auf, fingen an zu zählen und sangen sogar ein Lied und tanzten dazu. Sie waren überglücklich als Belohnung ihres Wissens von uns etwas Schokolade zu bekommen.

Nos encontramos a estos niños en nuestro camino al glaciar Thajiwas en Sonmarg. Los gujjar son una tribu nómada de pastores que se trasladan a los pastos más verdes de las colinas en verano. Cuando viene el invierno, se desplazan a las llanuras la familia entera con los rebaños. Debido a su estilo de vida, los niños normalmente no reciben una escolarización convencional. Han asistido a escuelas nómadas y como prueba, nos recitaron el alfabeto, los números y también alguna canción y baile. Se alegraron de recibir chocolates como premio.

Nous avons rencontré ces enfants sur la route des glaciers de Thajiwas dans la station de Sonmarg en Inde. Les Gujjars sont une tribu de bergers nomades qui se déplacent vers les pâturages des collines durant l'été. L'hiver venu, ils partent vers les plaines avec toute leur famille et leur troupeau. En raison de ce mode de vie, les enfants manquent souvent l'école. Les enfants sur la photo, avaient fréquenté une école nomade et pour nous le prouver, ils nous ont récité tout l'alphabet, récité les chiffres et ils ont chanté et dansé. Ils étaient heureux de recevoir des chocolats en récompense.

Abbiamo incontrato questi ragazzini durante il nostro viaggio verso il ghiacciaio Thajiwas a Sonmarg. I Gujjar sono una tribù nomade di pastori che in estate si sposta sulle colline, verso i pascoli più verdi. Quando giunge l'inverno, migrano poi verso la pianura con tutte le loro famiglie e le greggi. Per via di questo stile di vita i bambini di solito non sono soggetti a una scolarizzazione convenzionale. Questi ragazzi, per esempio, avevano frequentato una scuola nomade e per darcene prova hanno recitato per noi l'alfabeto, i numeri e hanno anche improvvisato qualche canzone e una danza. Erano felici di ricevere cioccolatini in premio.

Its Autumn. The leaves fall, trees shed old barks, flowers wither, greens go mute. Yet we say, Autumn is in bloom ! A part of nature falls and dies and loses its identity, and we find it beautiful ! Autumnal ironies :)

Without the “Bluescht”, the hilly landscape of the Basel region would not be as beautiful in the spring.
After a long winter, in the spring the blossoming cherry trees transform the rural canton near the gates of the city of Basel into a fairytale landscape.

A small courtyard behind Salamanca Place in Hobart, Tasmania. The strong contrasts in this winter's tree caught my eye.
I bought an Ilford SFX200 semi-infrared film a while back and I finally loaded it into a camera today and have started using it. This image is digital, and processed in the style of infrared, but it's just me 'dreaming' of how this roll of film might turn out. I ended up loading it into my trusty old Canon EOS 1000, which was my first EOS camera way back in the 1990's. Brings back wonderful memories using it, only i'm struggling with lack of control settings!! It's actually nice to be able to use all my favourite digital lenses using film - normally I load films into my older FD Canon bodies.
I'm also stoked that my "usual suspects" image made it to the Twitter Tuesday 'Fruit' selection yesterday! My first #TwitterTuesday success.

Kings Cross Underground Station, London, England
Its been a little while since I last uploaded, just been so busy with work however I am really looking forward to the next few months coming up.
Of course there is Open House London although my start to this has not gone very well. None of the pre-booked events I applied for have been successful, one not heard back, one has pulled out of Open House and the other was not successful. Topped up with that my pre-order guide went to my old address and the replacement has gone missing, another replacement sent out today by OH, phew!
I tried to get Crossrail tickets today but couldn't get to a computer to try and order them at midday and they were sold out in 10 mins, ah well! Will research lesser known buildings and I am sure I will get some photos I am happy with but I do feel that I am less organised compared to previous years.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
