Whilst the world is built on economics and the trade in weapons continues with the major countries, including China, then the struggle will continue. One day however, all this WILL change. Thanks for the series Pascale (and the b'day greeting from yesterday).

My hopes join yours m'dear. Beautiful series as well.

From your lips to the creators ears! Wonderful image to wrap up the series! The future of any race is in the faces of their children! Bravo!!

such a wonderful shot, I think she didn't saw nothing when you pushed the button

a very cute buddha, nice colorful shot

The last is also the one with the most emotions ! An excellent child portrait for supporting a fair campaign ! Thanks to people like you, Pascale, the Tibetan cultur will not die ! :~)

Very powerful series! I had no idea that something like this was going on until your set. Thank you for the photos and info.

The picture is perfect..... a very lovely child in a PADMASANA. As regards Tibet, it is a sad story about it's occupation and the genocide that followed after that. How peaceful demonstrators were targeted and killed........ pathetic I must say. Having met the Dalai Lama himself (very briefly) on a visit to Dharamshala (Himachal Pradesh, India)where he now resides with his followers... I can tell, this man is our future ambassador of world Peace. An icon of Peace. He is so pragmatic in his approach and so dynamic , he really impressed me. He was the first world religious leader who was willing to reach upto Baghdad and ask Saddam Hussain to surrender rather than create a War situation. Alas he couldn't go due to severe security threats but his initiative in this regard is commendable. On a more personal level I feel that after becoming a minority in your own land and then fight for freedom from the occupation is going to be a herculian task. (Again I am not a good Political commentator so I won't stake my bet on my views)I just hope and pray that one day some meanigful dialogue takes place and the freedom of Tibet is ressolved through Peaceful means for which the co operation of the world body is very very essential. As for the Tibetian culture..... apart from the pollution part of it... you can see the rest of it still growing and thriving at Dharamshala. A culture so rich and based on Non violence and world Peace can never die. It will live on. I will make it a point to visit your site.....thanks for the link.:O))

I hope this little sweet child will have a free Tibet in her future. Such a lovely and positive way to end this series by which you have touched our hearts.

This little girl is a real hope. One day tibetans will have their country back. Unfortunately, there's no petrol in Tibet ! One day economic views wont be sufficient to rule the world. Let's hope this day will come soon.

A fabulous catch here...a very fine Series.

Impressive conclusion of this series: it will be the future generation that knows what will happen and will have to either endure oppression or be freed! The latter is to be hoped and so the struggle goes on! Excellent work, Pascale! :)

Excellent and VOTE!!! :)

Thank you Pascale for this wonderful but also rousing and affecting series about Tibet!!!

incroyazble! cette gamine en position du lotus en train de miter!! belle image!!

amen to that...

I agree, China should leave Tibet and they also should give up the idea that Taiwan is part of China.

Top quality on this capture, Pascale! ***** It speaks volumes!

What a beautiful little girl! Only insecure nations need to be imperialist. One can only hope that China grows out of this childish phase.

What an incredible capture, Pascale!!! Superb clarity and wonderful DOF, and what an intense expression you captured! she looks like she's in a very peaceful state of mind. Knowing what the Tibetians are going thru makes me very sad. outstanding shot! :)

As long as there are voices and images from individuals like yourself, there will be ope. It is wen the voices are stopped and we no longer see, then a culture will have died. Let us ope this will never happen for all those who are oppressed by governements blinded by their own rage.

U're right!!!!!! The little girls expression in her face...perhaps it is exactly what she is wishing for......Splendid portrait, sweetie

wonderful image !

learning to meditate early on in life.. long live Tibet & the people! an excellent & informative series.. fitting too.. considering your name :]

Perhaps the most moving of this series, and my favorite after the old woman. The future of Tibet, may she know her country in a free condition one day. Wonderful capture!

i agree with your words.an expressive and deep touching portrait of this young girl. #:O)

I agree!!! Strong shot lady!!!
