Nice picture Harry. I like the framing, especially with the overexposed out-of-focus clouds on the back ground. I see two doggies with floppy ears playfully running after their master. I start to believe that that must be what the women are looking at…

Very nice picture! Like Romke said the framing is very good.

I\'ve read your book, by the way, a really impressive story.

Ik ben onder de indruk…

Hi Harry,
Langs deze weg wil ik je graag bedanken voor de geweldig interessante avond die je ons bezorgd hebt bij Foto Club Doesburg, gisteren. Iedereen was erg onder de indruk van je foto\'s. Voor mij was je geen onbekende meer, omdat ik je al ongeveer anderhalf jaar via je website volg. Ik geniet iedere keer weer het meest van je kinderportretten. De jochies op de motoren zijn nog steeds mijn favoriet. Heel veel succes gewenst met je volgende project: de fietstocht Alaska/Zuidpool. Ik kijk uit naar een nieuwe serie foto\'s.
Groet, Ineke Oolders

The story behind "Three Uros women on lake Titicaca, Peru"

Three women with the typical long braids and hats wave goodbye to a boat of tourist.

There are almost no more original Uros people left, but still the floating islands they live on are populated by a few thousand people. Originally a refuge, these islands are (wo)man-made of reed.

The islands are just a half hour boat ride away from the city of Puno, on teh western side of lake Titicaca, with 3800m altitude the highest navigable lake in the world…
