Faces in the Crowd

Faces in the Crowd

This was a really fun challenge that made me delve deep into my archives, taking me all the way back to the year 2012. So many memories, so many faces. I’ll start with some pictures from Malta and the Carnival held in 2020. Click on an image in any gallery to enlarge.

More from Malta, (where I lived for 20 years before moving to Cyprus.) Here, you will find the excitement of an election campaign mixed with joy at the Earth Garden Festival in Ta Qali Park.

Street life & Beach life, from different places on Earth.

I could go on forever, but I won’t. However, I must not forget to mention the top image that shows a proboscis monkey peering out from the crowd of leaves in Kota Kinabalu on Borneo. A precious memory, seeing a wild proboscis monkey so close to city life.

Strangely enough, not a single picture from Stockholm, where I have lived most of my life. Maybe I’ll show some pictures from the royal capital of Sweden in a later post.

    Great selection of the faces in the crowds. Cute little monkey, too. 🙂

    Stockholm är ju inte din hemstad längre. Jag menar inte bara att du inte bott här på flera decennier, du har ju knappt besökt stan heller. Så jag förstår dig mycket väl att Stockholm inte bidrar med några bilder till temat.
    Mina favon är absolut den lilla apan och så första bilden, som är helt fantastisk:-)

      Tack Beate. Så sant och det var en av orsakerna till att jag bestämde mig för att gå tillbaka till engelska.

    Anita, these are all great images. The opening photo, though, is stunning!

    Now for the real comment Sheesh.
    Such a fun filled post Anita. The monkey at the start made me smile and I love the woman at the head scarf shop 🙂

    I love your opening photo, but all of them are spot on for the challenge. It was my second trip through the gallery before I realized there was only one woman in your last gallery shot. 🙂

      Haha.. if you saw more than one living woman, then you must have looked at the image quite quickly. 😁 Thanks for your comment John 😁

    Great selections. Very colorful! Love the hijab display, and drums on the rocks. Humped zebra crossing? Uhh… I know what you mean. 🙂

    Den här serien tycker jag väldigt mycket om. Tycker det är svårt att fota folk och gör aldrig det. Alla verkar mår så bra, skrattar och har det roligt. Apan är förstås en klass för sig. Helt underbart!

      Tack Kristallina. Det var riktigt roligt att titta tillbaka i mitt arkiv. Förr fotade jag ofta människor, tyckte det var väldigt givande. Idag är det mer natur, insekter och ja, du vet ju 😁

    Loads of great shots here! The carnival ones are super but my favourites are the two guys drumming on the rocks and the very last one of the girl in front of the mannequins 🙂 I also love the cute monkey!

    Great gallery, Anita! The Borneo monkey is a gem, but all of them are colourful and lovely.

      Thank you kindly for commenting Leya 🥰

    Färggranna och levande personbilder, tycker mig känna igen några. Bilden på den finurligt inramade apan är förtjusande. Sen fastnar jag för de två strandbilderna lite extra länge.

    1. Anita Avatar

      Ja, de flesta av bilderna här har varit med förrut. Tack snälla för din kommentar.
