Travel | The Men Who Don’t Fit In
The Men Who Don’t Fit In There’s a race of men that don’t fit in, A race that can’t stay still;So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will.They range the field and they rove the flood, And they climb the mountain’s crest;Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood, And they don’t know how to rest.

Mother and Daughter | Once Upon a Time on a Rainy Day
© 2014 Wazari Wazir | My Wife and Daughter Arianna On a Rainy Day “Love like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots keeping itself alive.” – Paulo Coelho – Actually it was raining, just a light drizzle, I did try to use slower shutter speed like 1/30, so that the rain can be a little bit more visible but then, once I tried using that slow shutter speed, I get a blurry photo, not because my hand wasn’t steady but a sudden movement…
