Sadness covered in beauty

Against the wishes of her parents, who were watching her from 20 yards behind, this small poor hill-tribe child, had to sit in the freezing cold on a bench. And prayed that some tourists, on the route to the top of the mountain to make pictures of the sunrise, would stop to drop some money. That was the whole thing. sad sad sad! But ... we sometimes have to switch to a different perspective. And in this particular case, we must imagine that these tribal population are going through a huge development currently. 5 years ago, the only way they were making money was by growing opium (drugs) plants. And now they are trying to earn money in different ways, still not the best way, but it keeps them away from drugs. Okay, why this picture? The colorful traditional dress of the child could not cover the intense sorrow. This is a moment caught in its raw beauty.
