This family came to the stream every day to wash their clothes and take a bath. You can never guess from their faces how freezing the water was! A friend of mine was looking at picture and told me that it actually gives him a sad feeling. I told him that it does not make me sad in any way because I remember how happy this lady and her son were at that moment and how she was making fun of him being so shy. But why I really love this picture is because it represents the life in the village in its purest form- a life about simplicity where people & nature are interlinked. Happiness is a matter of perception- what seems sad to somebody is actually a fun moment of everyday life.
