A couple of weeks ago for my World at Work feature I posted photos of the famous Star Ferry in Hong Kong. I came across this photo when I was writing the next post for Travel Tales which is about a trip to Mingun from Mandalay. It struck me just how very different the World of Work is for these young ladies in comparison to those Hong Kong Ferry Sailors.
The second photo is of my daughter and myself with the 'Tourist Police', there to make sure everything went smoothly and that we caught the right ferry! They were very keen to be photographed with us, they are so excited that more people are now visiting their beautiful country. I thought it made a good subject for 'Faces On Friday'
Please visit the following links if you are interested in seeing more photos of the trip to Mingun.

Please note this post originally appeared on LindyLouMac's World in Photos but I am in the process of moving the themed posts to Travel Tales as I plan to change direction on the photography blog.
i like those faces on the tourist police, so happy
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of you and your daughter!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter has a gorgeous smile.
ReplyDeleteThere certainly are some differences in those two jobs within the same area, but I guess that could be said of lots of people employed by the same company or agency. You make wonderful portraits ... And someone made a lovely one of you and your daughter with the travel police.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting to see these young ladies at work. I'm sure both couples are glad to be working. I love the colourful clothes of the first and the smiling faces of the second who look very pleased to be acknowledged with a group photo. Your daughter is lovely too! Linda :)
ReplyDeleteI always feel alarmed at the idea of "tourist police" even though I know they are really meant to help tourists - not arrest them! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of you with your daughter. :-) How lovely to make the day of the two women you posed with. :-)
