Paddy In The Paddy Fields....requested By Darren

[Tom Dunne]

Darren kindly asked me if I had more images from China. Pleasure Darren.
I have tons in hard drives all over the place. I hope everybody else will enjoy these too. With the exception of the Panda these were taken in the same place I took the earlier portrait and they show the typical environment where these small rice farming families live.
I discovered having a DSLR camera a real pain while backpacking; too big, always in the way, getting covered in sweat and hard to steady and handle with greasy and sweaty hands when tired after walking for so long. A good compact is the only man.
I hope I'm not overloading things by adding five images in one post. Please let me know Mods.

Not overloading at all. Superb, every one of them.

Add as many as you like Tom! Especially if they are all as good / interesting as these. It's really interesting to see these and I like the smiles i the first - great engagement. Mind, that Panda looks about as energetic as I feel at the moment!

Superb set Tom , the second to last among them, for some reason, those patterns, lines and forms, love them, a great scene to sketch with a pencil as well if time permits I go along wholeheartedly with having a good small compact for such trips.
