The Treehouses Of New Guinea's Korowai Tribe...

Until 1974 when the Korowai Tribe were discovered by a Dutch missionary, they'd lived lives of total isolation from the outside world.
Whether the well meaning missionary did this tribe any favours by discovering them can be disputed. They'd lived their lives up till then based on traditional values, concerning themselves with hunting and gathering, water collecting and wood for their cooking fires.
They didn't know the rest of the world existed. Lucky them.
These folk live in treehouses built up to thirty five metres high, in the tops of the forest's Banyan trees.
The shame is that since the 1990's, the Korowai have been exploited by many from so called civilised societies.
Their simple life has all but ceased to exist...

Dreadnaught Darling Loves Living Small In Her Tiny House...

'I love my tiny house' she says.
'If it weren't for downsizing I wouldn't really be as happy. I wouldn't be in a community living situation that I absolutely adore and I wouldn't have the opportunity to travel as much as I do.
And I'm incredibly blessed by the adventure that living in a small space brings.'

Beautiful Bohemian Interiors Of Traditional Gypsy Vardos...

Some images of the lifestyle of the Gypsy Traveller that we can celebrate.
But we know too that the life of the Gypsy wasn't as beautiful as it seems. For centuries they've been, and still are hounded by the Authorities of whatever lands they've travelled.
These images are of an era of energy, style, colour and freedom of expression that's almost a thing of the past.
We can look back and admire these beautiful bohemian interiors that speak of a way of life that has all but disappeared.
Fortunately we have images like this to prove it did exist, that there was a life on the road that had romance and style before the world was morphed into one of mediocre sameness and blandness...
