BEHOLD THE BEAUTY OF OUR WORLD AND ITS PEOPLE....“My heart is so small
it's almost invisible.
How can You place
such big sorrows in it?
"Look," He answered,
"your eyes are even smaller,
yet they behold the world.”

WORLWIDE ON INTEGRATING IMMIGRANTS:iconpointleftplz:


Portugal remains the second best country in the world at receiving and integrating immigrants into society, according to the leading international study in the field, known as MIPEX, which in its latest edition shows that despite the crisis the country managed to increase its points total.

Among the 167 factors analysed, access to healthcare, education and permanent housing stand out as less positive in Portugal, while employment, action against discrimination, the process of gaining nationality and the reuniting of families gain the most post.


According to the study, Portugal is the southern European country best at fighting discrimination and promoting quality.

The expression on the old lady's face is so impressive.
Indeed,there must be a plenty of stories that she had experienced in her life.That makes the whole scene of the photo more realistic.
Magnificent work!I love this style.(^_^)
btw,this somehow reminds me of my visit to Beijing a year ago.

Yup.
The destination of the journey was mainly some places of interest.
Maybe next time I need to take more notice of the details of the city,such as the local citizens and local culture...

The level of focus is amazing. The lighting is perfect. The shadow is perfect. The line of the handle of her parasol guides one's eyes to her hand and then to her face. We can see that she is/was married, and clearly has/had some money. Yet, the weather and time worn expression shows that she worked hard to get where she did. Amazing photo. Absolutely wonderful. Good job.

A very characteristic and beautiful face of Beijing. A whithered face on which one can read life.
This woman looks like she is taking good care of herself.

Great photograph and gift dear José!

The facial expressions show a lot, like happiness, sadness, surprise, anger etc. and I can imagine it's difficult to decide when to press the shutter and capture the moment.
And yes José, I like it a lot.

Probably it's always difficult to isolate an expression. A mime constantly changes in real life. Very difficult, but what is more interesting then an expression. I think you can't take a wrong capture from a face, because they are all telling a story.

This photograph shows me a weathered face, a face with a story of a hard life telling by the wrinkles and the eyes.
The dark background shows of her face. I can imagine that because of the extreme details it is your best face.
