eyes and teeth, a photo from Qinghai, Ouest

Photographer's Note

Qinghai is a vast and remote province in western China. Most of it is on the old Tibetan highlands.

Guide is an old and remote town, built around a monastery, somewhere in eastern Qinghai. It now has the world's biggest prayer wheel (you see a part of it in the background here) and it is being geared up for tourism.

Visiting the wheel we met several families of even remoter parts of Qinghai, who were visiting the sights too.
Looking at each other and taking pictures of each other was just as much fun as admiring the big wheel.

An eye for an eye...these days almost everybody can take pictures. It's big fun swapping shots for a while.
This is what we call progress and nothing is remote anymore,really.

Bonjour Benny,

Elles semblent bien heureuses ces dames et cela vaut la peine d'immortaliser le moment grâce à son téléphone intelligent.J'aime beaucoup l'arrière plan dans les teintes de jaune.

Amicalement

Serge

Hi Benny
The in-thing of the 21st century just to prove they've been everywhere but always great fun too to photograph them in action. The lovely burst of big smiles really enlivens this shot and you are so quick on the draw. The entire photo has a very polished look about it. You tell stories with this shot....
Great capture, Congrats
Best wishes

Hello Benny A fashionable gesture nowadays and the ladies expression is quite hearty. But I consider the photographer should have rotate the camera 45 degrees as you did for an horizontal take, due to the large hats!! Cheers

Hello Benny,
Smiling faces are a joy that partly can overcome the language barrier in faraway places. This is a funny and nice photo, I just can't find a proper date for these ladies' dresses. They look a lot older than 2015, but would also have been impossible in 1986, when I had my only experience of China.
Regards,
Gert

Dag Benny,

Wat een leuke foto met twee dames met de glimlach op de wangen.
Maken van een selfsie, maar ik ben zeker dat u er ook nog goed moet uit zien, want die ene dame kijkt recht in uw ogen, en zo verliefd!
Alle gekheid op een stokje het is een geode foto, bedankt.

Prettige dag verder,
John.

Hello Benny,

Its a nice glimpse of a much common scene, taking photos with the cellphone, lot more than they could ever review. I guess it went to the FB immediately. :)

Best Wishes,
Gy.
