'Born as a girl in this land is a proof of her physical and mental strengths since she is young. It is so different from boys. The society is biased towards male. Families are encouraged by the custom to have a boy rather than a girl. There I saw a young girl in a tiny village. She walked and carried two clay pots on her head. It looked like she was accustomed to this but the pots seemed heavy. She looked at me while I took a photo of her. I guessed it might be the first time of her life to be photographed.' -- Udom Wanjing

UDOM WANJING
Udom Wanjing is an award-winning independent artist and a guest lecturer teaching art in many universities in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He was selected by Kasikorn Bank in Thailand to design an addition to honor the heroism of the Thai Army.

 

In 2003, he exhibited his works in an exhibition at Salle Nougaro (Airbus) in Tulus, France. A year later he brought traditional Thai painting to exhibit at The Royal University College of Fine Arts, Stockholm. In 2015, and again in 2016, he visited India, and sketched his impressions, oil pastel on cotton. He also works with charcoal on canvas.  -- Janine Yasovant [WC News Service]

Paris Roof-Tops

Photos: WritersClearinghouse News Service/Richard Carreño

Most sky-view, roof-top pictures of central Paris are captured from the Tour Eiffel. For a larger panorama at a greater height, like these above taken by PJ editor Richard Carreño, the Tour Montparnasse offers greater advantages. These photos were taken last weekend.

 This picture of the lava fields at Mount Etna, Sicily, was taken 20 October. A few weeks later, Etna erupted for the first time since 1991.

We were docked at Valletta, Malta. We wandered for the day. The city itself has a population of about 6,000. Malta is an independent island nation and part of the Eurpean Union. It was a British colony until the end of World War II. It has an overall population of about 400,000. It's about fifty miles south of Sicily.
