Would like to know the story behind this one
Thank you for asking. This was taken in Kathmandu Nepal at the Pashupatina Temple a place of cremation as well as prayer. For your information, while a body burns on the pyre it sizzles, much like bacon in the frying pan. I was free to walk around and shoot to my heart's content, nobody stopped me, or yelled at me. Anything else you would like to know just ask.
try doing that at a cremation in the uk
...or in Canada!
Howdie stranger!

Goodness me. How can people stand being in all that smoke? I would be choking.
This is her life, her daily grind. She was actually cooking some gruel for a pregnant cow who gave birth while we were there and I got the shot of the newborn, it was good enough that was exhibited here during our annual photo exhibition. Thank you for stopping by with your comments, you KNOW I appreciate it very much.
This is why I love some of your stuff,real life in the raw as it is,your strength is the connection between you and your subjects,love it
Thank you, sometimes I do need to hear that. Appreciated Brian.
your welcome

Thank you Fred.
Well done olga for 1,2 and 3,well diverse subjects as per norm,top photographer
thank you sweetie.....as always
Congrats Olga, how did you capture this smoke? did you light it?
I tried with some incense but was disappointed by the result so I didn't post it...
this is my husband smoking in a cafe in Japan. The original is really yellow because of an overhead light. I didn't do anything except play with levels, and contrast after changing it to monochrome.
Just so you know, we are NOT smokers but once a day we share one cigarette between us ....when traveling. We started this stupid tradition in Myanmar where we frequented the Burmese Tea Houses.....a culture in of itself...we do not do this in Chiang MAi. ayyyy yayyy you really wanted to know this huh?!
I have the same stupid tradition to smoke only when I'm travelling, and one or two at week-ends. Else, I vape when in front of my computer, which is often... This you can't do or you'll try the Thai jails
Vaping has not hit Thailand yet, although many do vape. You cannot purchase vaping stuff anywhere. I did not know it was illegal here. It is dangerous to your health...non?
It must be a zillion times less dangerous than cigarettes... if you don't use any liquid mix. And of course tobacco lobbies try to publish studies saying the opposite.

HOLY CRAP....that article is scary yet some of our photo club members vape. I would not want to be in a Thai prison EVER and it seems that the road to the prison is everywhere for small reasons given.

+++++Smoking Kills++++
but also gives you peace... well that by killing you. I have always encouraged people to live their life without cigars. Most of them were friends.
Encouraged them to start Cycling or to have a different hobby to get rid of smoking.
We all should give up smoking. Its bad for your children's health...

Thank you for making me feel like crap. I do have a secret to share....we were smokers. We quit a few centuries back but lately my husband and I have one cigarette at noon, only one and we share it. Sometimes in life it feels good to be bad. Never mind, I like your message and agree and the photo is smack on the money for macro. Nice and sharp with a stinging message.
So cute of you.. ahhh!!!
Rather sharing a cigarette, u guys can share French Fries...
Good for health... without the oil and fat actually XD
French fries.....blechhhhhhhhhhhhhh. You are making a joke right?
Saturated fats are what turn a potato into a time bomb for heart disease, diabetes, and cancer the Acrylymide will slay you quicker than 4 puffs of a cigarette per day. French fries starchiness makes them a high-glycemic food, and therefore a risk to cardiovascular and metabolic health.
ahhh maybe with a good dose of gravy, mayo, ketchup and salt we can turn them into a health food...huh?
Never mind with all this babble I like French Fries....
oh no. OK I take it back...
I do cycling a lot...
That's why I love potato and dates.
I'm just foolin with you.....I think it is a good idea to follow the Buddha's teachings..."all things in moderation". I love dates too, especially with the right fella. ;-D
😂😂😂
Thank goodess
