Eggwhite is added to make it rain-proof, giving it a shiny look. The men's outfits are plain indigo jackets and trousers (following pics) and the women wear indigo jackets and embroidered short pleated skirts embellished with colorful batiks (following pic).<br /> <br /> Other photos of the Basha Miao people, and the story of their distinctive hair style can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/tLFKVp">http://goo.gl/tLFKVp</a><br /> <br /> 15/05/15 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>
  • Khainag grooming habits (best larger to see the tongue up its nose)<br /> <br /> A Khainag is the Mongolian name for a domestic hybrid between a cow and a yak. This one was clearly having a bad hair day. They have hybrid vigour and produce more milk and meat than either the cow or the yak. The male hybrids are sterile, but the females are fertile.<br /> <br /> Other shots from the Mongolian steppes can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/ZJrlbm">http://goo.gl/ZJrlbm</a><br /> <br /> 14/05/15 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>

  • Her own private garden and pool.<br /> <br /> This lone duck seemed to have the historic Persian walled garden all to herself.<br /> <br /> Bagd-e-Fin (Fin Garden) is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the oldest garden in Iran (1590).

  • Magnifique! (best larger)<br /> <br /> Trained golden eagle sitting on the steppes waiting for its Kazakh trainer, Western Mongolia. I loved the way the sun was hitting the feathers on the bird's neck, making them look truly 'golden'. The eagle was vocalizing, so you can see its tongue. <br /> <br /> For an interesting series showing the release of a golden eagle from a hill top to hunt in the valley below see here: <a href="http://goo.gl/X75Yy1">http://goo.gl/X75Yy1</a><br /> <br /> 03/05/15 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>
  • Revered ancient tree (best larger)<br /> <br /> I posed this woman among the roots of a famous ancient lur tree to add a sense of scale to the tree.<br /> <br /> 'Green Tree', at around 600 years old, is the oldest Lur tree on Kish Island, Lur is a rare species belonging to the fig genus, with large oval leaves. In Iran it is only native to Kish Island. People believe that the tree can bring good luck and tie lengths of yarn or fabrics to the roots to wish for long life and fulfillment of their needs and dreams, and they also carve wishes into it.<br /> <br /> Response to comment about cropping: This image is actually about the tree, with no intention of being a portrait, so in this instance the woman is the prop for adding scale and interest to the tree, and not vice versa as I was hoping my caption, featuring the tree, would have demonstrated. Had my intention been to do a portrait of the woman, I would have zoomed in. In this instance I wanted to show the interesting carvings on the tree, the pieces of yarn, and the size of this magnificent old tree.<br /> <br /> Other photos from around Iran can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/AUs8dE">http://goo.gl/AUs8dE</a><br /> <br /> 02/05/15 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>
